Redesigned with features from the revolutionary Sachtler aktiv fluid head range, the FSB 14 Mark II 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.

Up to 16 kg Maximum Payload

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 Sideload Mechanism, which supports payloads up to 16 kg / 35.2 lb. Designed to accommodate digital cinema-style cameras such the ALEXA 35, Sony VENICE, and the latest generation FF camcorders such as the Sony FX9, the head offers Sachtler's Sideload mechanism with a sliding range of 12cm.

Supreme Adjustability for Perfect Balance

In addition, the FSB 14 Mk II 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 both location and studio work, the head offers consistent and reliable operation from -40 to 60 °C, 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 levelling in poor light conditions. A pan handle that can be mounted on either side of the head is also included.

Levelling Ball with Flat Base

The fluid head features a 100mm ball for quick levelling 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

Features a sideload mechanism with a sliding range of 12 cm that offers the ease of a touch-and-go quick release plate and the balancing capability of a sliding baseplate. This sideload setup allows for up to 12 cm of balance plate travel.
