Sachtler Pedestal C III Overview
For studio and flat surfaces, move your camera around smoothly while easily booming up and down with the Sachtler FSB 14T Mk II Touch & Go System with Pedestal C III. This bundle includes the Sachtler FSB 14 Mark II fluid head and C III pedestal with a tripod dolly. The head carries on the FSB tradition of fluid, smooth, and balanced movement, while the pedestal makes it fast and easy to set the height of your camera weighing up to 35.3 lb on the included head without struggling. The included tripod dolly allows you to glide the pedestal over smooth surfaces and lock it securely when you find your spot. The included left pan handle complements the right pan handle that comes with the head.
Sachtler FSB 14 Mark II Fluid Head with Touch & Go Plate (100mm)
Create fluid and smooth pans and tilts while supporting a wide range of camera heights with the precision-made Sachtler FSB 14 Mark II Fluid Head with Touch & Go Plate, which supports payloads up to 35.3 lb. Designed to accommodate digital cinema-style cameras, the head offers Sachtler's Touch & Go QR plate that pops in and out of the fluid head's camera platform. The platform features a 4.7" back and forth adjustment for balance. It also features a 15-step counterbalance along with horizontal and vertical 7-step drag controls. In addition, a zero setting on the pan and tilt drag controls allows free movement of the head, useful for whip pans and tilts.
Suitable for interior and exterior work, the head offers consistent and reliable operation from -40 to 140°F, and it features a 100mm bowl with an integrated flat base, allowing you to mount the head on legs and supports with either a 100mm bowl or a flat base fitting. The head features a bubble level with a prism system, so you can set your head to level while seeing the bubble level from above or to the side. The bubble level is illuminated for easy leveling in poor light conditions. A pan handle that can be mounted on either side of the head is also included.
Leveling Ball with Flat Base
The fluid head features a 100mm ball for quick leveling on your tripod legs. The ball features a flat base, so you can also mount it on a flat surface.
Frictionless Leakproof Fluid Damping
Frictionless leakproof fluid damping with five levels of drag enables precision adjustment to match the needs of your shot. A zero setting allows complete disengagement of drag for fast panning.
Camera Mounting and Balancing
Featuring a Touch & Go QR plate, the top of the head features a sliding range of 4.7" for balancing your camera rig on the tripod head.
Sachtler Pedestal C III with Dolly XL
Sachtler's Pedestal C III with Dolly XL was designed with ease-of-setup in mind. The off-center leg clamps on the dolly make assembly on location a snap. The fluid head can be mounted in a matter of seconds using Sachtler's robust QuickFix coupling. Correct air pressure in the column is a simple matter using the built-in pressure gauge, which is also useful while air charging with the pump. Make no compromises, and take it with you- the Pedestal C III does this with ease and grace.
