Sachtler Pedestal Vario Ped 2-80 OB

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

The Vario Ped 2-80 combines robustness, reliability, and portability with smooth, precise movement for accurate talent tracking. Supporting large payloads up to 80 kg / 176 lb, it offers crab & steer functionality for on-shot floor movement.

With two balanced stages, the Vario Ped 2-80 offers a 77 cm / 30.3 in stroke length, providing the ideal height range for tracking talent as they move from seated to standing positions on-shot. This ensures consistent eyeline framing, even in confined spaces.

The pedestal features an inlet valve compatible with any air source and a clear pressure gauge for fast, reliable setup. 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 2-80 OB comes with 16 cm / 6.3 inch wheels for greater ground clearance. The detachable skid allows the pedestal to be simply broken down into two sections for easy storage and transportation. The skid can also be adjusted to a narrow position for easy manoeuvrability through tight spaces such as doorways.
