Sachtler Video 20 Tripod System Overview

The Sachtler System 20/2062 includes the Video 20 SB Fluid head with Speed Balance, the ENG 2 carbon fiber double extension tripod, and the ENG 2 padded transport bag.

The Sachtler Video 20 SB is a fast, safe, and reliable fluid head. Its temperature-independent frictionless damping system with seven levels of drag plus zero enables operators to capture the most riveting scenes and events on video. Changing positions? Changing shooting style? In the heat of the moment, one can setup and follow the action smoothly, even with heavy cameras. Does your work require fast unplanned changes? No problem, the Video 20 SB can easily handle it, even with a maximum payload, thanks to lightweight materials and ergonomic operation controls.

The ENG 2CF two-stage tripod uses leg sections drawn out of one-piece carbon fiber material which makes it twist resistant and even lighter than Dural aluminum. It features a 100 mm bowl, tube diameter of 22 mm, and is fitted with fast-action leg locks.

A ground-level spreader completes the package by ensuring absolute stability regardless of the working surface, and the ENG 2 padded bag comfortably and quickly contains the whole kit for efficient transport.

Frictionless fluid damping with 7 levels of drag

A prerequisite for perfect shots is pan and tilt movements without jerks or vibrations. Sachtler’s patented damping system takes everything in stride. The individual modules are nearly frictionless and contain no hydraulic oil, thus, completely leak proof. The damping action is identical across both horizontal and vertical planes and offers seven steps of drag for smooth moves in the most strenuous conditions. The operator may also completely disengage the drag for fast panning without affecting the dynamic counterbalance system.

Twelve step dynamic counterbalancing system

Using torsion springs the dynamic counterbalancing system compensates for torque as the camera tilts, preventing it from inadvertently tipping, and ensuring that it is stable at any angle (freeing the operator to concentrate fully on camerawork). These springs may be adjusted individually, independent from the damping system, and work silently and without maintenance.

Sliding balance plate

The balance plate has a 120 mm sliding range and allows the operator to compensate precisely for a variety of configuration weights, ensuring perfect balance across the horizontal plane.

Pan/Tilt Locks

Vibrationless vertical and horizontal disc brakes for maximum safety in fast-paced reporting situations.

Carbon fiber leg tubes

Vibration-absorbing composite construction with 22 mm (0.87″) tube diameter- stronger and lighter than aluminum.

Fast-action leg locks

Rapid, secure cam-based system locks tripod legs in seconds.
