Sachtler Pedestal Vario Ped 1-70 OB

Highly stable yet lightweight, the Vario pedestals provide optimum support for live production environments.

The Vario Ped 1-70 combines robustness, reliability, and portability with smooth, precise movement for accurate talent tracking. Designed with ergonomically positioned controls, it offers crab & steer functionality and supports payloads up to 70kg / 154lb.

With its two-stage design, the Vario Ped 1-70 provides flexible height adjustment for both seated and standing eyelines, even at close range. The upper stage is perfectly balanced for on-shot performance, while the lower stage is balance-assisted for easy elevation and can be positioned to extend the height range.

The pedestal has an integral manual pump as well as an inlet valve for use with an external source, and includes a pressure gauge for clear and reliable set-up. For added flexibility, trim weights are supplied and can be easily fitted into dedicated slots on the steering wheel, allowing quick adjustment of column pressure to compensate for temperature changes during production.

Designed to be used in outside broadcast applications the Vario Ped 1-70 OB comes with 16 cm / 6.3 inch wheels for greater ground clearance. The detachable dolly allows the pedestal to be simply broken down into two sections for easy storage and transportation. It also features narrow tracking and transit widths to allow for movement in tight spaces.
