Sachtler System aktiv18T Fluid Head

Level up with aktiv™ the fluid head built for speed.

Sachtler aktiv18T is a 100 mm fluid head with the power to support payloads up to 18 kg (39.7 lbs) despite weighing just 3.4 g (7.5 lbs). 15 steps of counterbalance allow 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.

Never miss the shot. 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.

Go lower than ever. aktiv and flowtech® combine to provide a flexible one tripod solution delivering the widest height range. With no bowl clamp required, aktiv™ heads allow flowtech® tripods to go flat to the ground for the perfect low-angle shot.

Stay fast for ultimate creativity. aktiv fluid heads feature the unique SpeedSwap™ system, allowing lightning-fast camera swaps from a tripod to a slider without missing a beat. The perfect camera movement is just a SpeedSwap™ away.

Ready for anything. aktiv is precision engineered with quality materials and to the industry renowned Sachtler standard to create a premium system. Tested in extreme ranges of temperature and humidity, with aktiv you'll be ready for action.
