Sachtler aktiv8T Fluid Head

The Benro S8PRO Video Head is a versatile fluid video head for loads up to 8kg.

Featuring a 75mm flat base with a 3/8″-16 threaded hole, it can efficiently be moved between compatible tripods and sliders, jibs, monopods, and other support gear. To balance your heavy loads, the S8Pro offers 7+0 steps of counterbalance adjustable via a knob on the side. Another knob on the opposite side provides control over continuous pan and tilt drag. There are also independent pan and tilt locks. The tilt range is a wide +90/-75°, and the pan range is a full 360°.

Some parts of the Benro S8PRO Video Head are made of magnesium and other parts of aluminium. Virtually the entire head, including its knobs, is made of robust yet lightweight metal. A pan bar is included that can be attached to a rosette adapter on the left or right side of the head, for left- or right-handed users. A camera plate is included that can be adjusted forward/backward to let you find the optimal balance for your camera. A safety lock on the plate ensures that once mounted, the plate won’t slip out if you move it in either direction too much. Two camera screws are supplied – 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 – that can be stored underneath the camera plate on the head itself, in dedicated slots. For attaching accessories, there’s a 3/8″-16 threaded hole on each side of the head to which you can secure articulating arms.
