Sachtler Video S Series Video Head Overview
As a relaunch of the legendary Video 20 head, the Sachtler Video 20 S1 Fluid Head incorporates a wider payload range and a faster, simpler balancing system. The increased range means that even lightweight cameras--such as video DSLRs--can be used effectively on this head, aided by a 16-step counterbalance system that allows for fine degrees of tuning. Like its predecessor, the Video 20 S1 can also easily handle heavier ENG and EFP camcorders, with a Boost Button now included for sudden shifts in payload range (for example, when switching out a shoulder-mount camera for a handheld HDV camcorder or DSLR).
Along with the enhanced counterbalance come those features that made the original Video 18 so popular, including 7 levels of drag, a self-illuminating bubble level, a Touch and Go plate for speedy mounting and removal, and Sachtler`s already proven Speedbalance technology. The Video 20 S1 not only embraces the Video 20`s reputation in the field of newsgathering, it aims to surpass it.
