Sachtler System FSB 18T Mk II Ped C III
This FSB Mk II system with Sachtler C III Pedestal blends classic functionality with modern performance, giving you the stability and control to capture the shot with confidence.
With the power to support payloads up to 18 kg (39.7 lbs) the lightweight FSB 18T Mk II offers 15 steps of counterbalance allowing 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.
FSB Mk II brings the classic features and proven handling of Sachtler to smaller camera setups. With smooth drag and finely tuned counterbalance, it delivers the repeatable performance professionals rely on. Its illuminated PrismBubble gives fast, all-angle confirmation that your shot is on the level helping you set up quickly and shoot with confidence. The fluid head has a traditional tiedown design, and the stud can be removed to allow fitting to the flat base mount of the C III pedestal with the included adaptor.
The Pedestal C III is the ideal partner for flexible use in the studio or outside. Featuring a large height range with one manually adjusted tripod stage and one 42 cm (16.5 in) lift air column, the camera can be easily positioned, while the pedestal’s dolly allows it to be moved silently across the floor. The pedestal is fast to assemble and disassembles easily for transportation.
Tough enough for the field, refined enough for the studio. FSB Mk II is engineered with premium materials and precision components for smooth operation in any environment. This pedestal system is easy to setup and position wherever your work takes you, delivering performance under pressure.
