Revolutionise the way you work with an aktiv™ flowtech® system. Combining the fluid head built for speed with the world’s fastest tripod, this system delivers ultra-rapid deployment with maximum versatility.

Supporting payloads up to 16 kg aktiv16T offers 15 steps of counterbalance, allowing you to finely match your camera rig and quickly dial in balance time after time. 7 steps of Sachtler drag ensure smooth movement at all speeds and in any environment, while the Touch & Go platform allows one-handed mounting of the camera into a preset position, so you’re always ready to capture the next shot. All aktiv™ fluid heads feature revolutionary SpeedLevel™ technology. Release, level, and lock your head tightly into the perfect position without missing a second of action.  Clear confirmation that the camera is level comes from the illuminated PrismBubble visible from any height or angle – day or night.

The 2-stage carbon fibre flowtech® tripod has unique quick release brakes at the top which can be deployed and adjusted in an instant, and a versatile hinge lock mechanism that allows it to be deployed without a spreader for ultra-low and high shots. Its ergonomic design makes the tripod comfortable to carry, on your shoulder or with the carry handle, and the legs are held together by a magnetic lock for transportation. In this system an adjustable mid-level spreader and rubber feet are included, and a padded carrying bag completes the package.
