Sachtler FSB 18T Mk II Fluid Head

Fluid, Smooth, Balanced.
Reliable performance. Classic features.

Sachtler FSB 18T Mk II is a 100 mm fluid head with the power to support payloads up to 18 kg (39.7 lbs), despite weighing just 3.2 kg (7.1 lbs). 15 steps of counterbalance allow you to finely match your camera rig and quickly dial in balance time after time, and 7 steps of Sachtler drag ensure smooth movement at all speeds and in any environment. 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.

FSB Mk II brings the classic features and proven ergonomics of Sachtler to smaller camera setups. With smooth drag and finely tuned counterbalance, it delivers the repeatable performance professionals rely on, whether you're working with a mirrorless kit, DSLR, or a traditional shoulder-mounted camera.

Lightweight and easy to transport, FSB Mk II blends classic functionality with modern performance, giving you the stability and control to capture the shot with confidence.

FSB Mk II fluid heads help you capture the moment with control and confidence. Smooth pan and tilt drag delivers consistent resistance - ideal for dynamic movement, slow tracking shots, or fast-paced documentary work.

With finely calibrated counterbalance, the FSB Mk II range delivers fast, repeatable setup for a wide range of configurations from stripped back digital cine rigs to larger shoulder cam setups.
