What you'd use it for
Redesigned with features from the revolutionary Sachtler aktiv fluid head range, FSB delivers precision movement with finely calibrated levels of drag and counterbalance for the perfect shot. The streamlined profile is built to withstand the toughest conditions to deliver repeatable, reliable camera support shot after shot.
The FSB 8 features Speedbalance technology to finely balance any camera payload from 0kg up to 12kg (26.5lbs). The snap and go side loading mechanism with a sliding range of 120mm (4.7in) makes mounting and positioning accessorised cameras simple. An illuminated PrismBubble is visible from any height, day or night, to help ensure your setup is level.
Create precision pans with smooth starts and soft stops. Patented Sachtler drag always gives you subtle and smooth movement. Seven horizontal and vertical drag settings help you to tune the drag to your payload.
