Danna Kinsky Shows Us What’s New From Sachtler

Craig Chartier talks to Danna Kinsky from Sachtler about the new SpeedLevel clamp that allows quick leveling of tripod heads of the 100mm heads with a simple grip mechanism, saving time adjusting tripod legs. For more information visit: Sachtler: Producer of Professional Camera Support Equipment

I just upgraded from my old Vinten Blue head to a Sachtler FSB-8 for my bigger setups (more on that next time) and I'm hoping this nifty US$160 gadget gets released in a 75mm version next time. Looks useful.

Sachtler also released some Ace accessories and Sachtler V mount batts.

Just in time for Germany to give a pounding in the world cup. Hah!

Do let us know if a 75mm version will be out for say an fsb or ace series.

Hi Barbara,
Will it work on an OConnor head standing on top of a Sachtler tripod?
Cheers,
