Ace
Top performance, fast and easy handling plus reliability – all guaranteed
by the new Sachtler Ace tripod systems at an attractive price/performance
ratio.
The Ace M fluid head was specially designed for lightweight HDV
camcorders and video-enabled DSLR cameras. Ace L can be used when
working with multiple accessories, which make the set-up heavier.
With Ace, you'll have a genuine broadcast feel. The newly patented SA-
drag™ drag allows for precise panning and tilting. The counterbalancing
of the camera set-up can be done quickly and perfectly using the familiar
Sachtler counterbalance in steps. Intuitive and professional working condi-
tions are guaranteed with Ace. Additionally, when it comes to weight, the
Ace tripod systems are unbeatable. Thanks to the modern carbon fiber
material, the Ace tripod systems are the lightest in Sachtler's product line
and offer a weight advantage when compared to similar systems of other
manufacturers.
General information about the features of Sachtler fluid heads and tripods
can be found on pages 8-9 and 54-55. Read here to see what makes our Ace
tripod systems unique:
Counterbalance, Payload,
Tilt Range
Ace M wins users over with a pay-
load range of 0 to 4 kilograms (9.7
lbs) and a five-step counterbalance.
Thanks to a 7-step counterbalance,
Ace L can be used with heavier
set-ups with an additional two
kilograms (4.4 lbs). Whether using a
lightweight DSLR camera or mini-
camcorder – with Ace, every camera
set-up can be quickly and easily
counterbalanced. Both fluid heads
have a tilt range of +90° to -75°.
SA-drag™ System
Using new technology, the newly
patented SA-drag™ system by
Sachtler guarantees consistent and
exactly repeatable drag. With the
three horizontal and vertical grades
of the SA-drag™, the corresponding
number of segments is accordingly
activated, combined or passively
switched. You can rely on smooth
and jerk-free dolly shots.
Materials & Weight
You can count on the Ace tripod
systems if you are always on the go.
The low weight guarantees versatility.
Both fluid heads are composed of
lightweight, yet stable glass fiber
reinforced composite material.
Ace M is sold with an aluminum
tripod; Ace L comes in a system with
two different carbon fiber tripods.
Configurations
Both Ace M and Ace L are exclusively
available as a package with a 75 mm
tripod and a useful transport bag.
Anybody who works on uneven
ground and “on location” would have
an advantage with the two-stage
extension tripods featuring a
mid-level spreader. In the studio and
on uneven ground, the ground
spreader provides increased stability.
Anybody who chooses the Ace L with
the telescopic tripod TT 75/2 CF will
benefit from the particularly wide
height range.

„We have high expectations. For
ourselves. For our videos. For our
equipment. We do a lot of filming
abroad. We have already worked
in 18 countries—in the Brazilian
jungle, on the beach in China and

Ace scores points with weight, easy
handling and dependability. That
was important for us, and that‘s
exactly what we have now. Thanks
