Sachtler Ace XL Mk II fluid head

Professional Precision for Modern Cinematographers

The Sachtler Ace XL Mk II is a lightweight, high-performance fluid head engineered for video and cinema camera rigs weighing up to 8kg. Combining the legendary Sachtler drag system with a versatile mounting interface, it provides the stability and smoothness required for professional-grade productions.

Advanced Counterbalance and Drag

Achieve perfect balance quickly with the 9 + 0 step counterbalance system. This allows for precise adjustment across various camera and lens configurations. The 3 + 0 Sachtler drag settings ensure controlled, repeatable pan and tilt movements, eliminating jerky starts and stops even at long focal lengths.

Versatile Mounting Options

Designed for flexibility, the Ace XL Mk II features a 75mm bowl for rapid leveling on tripods. The integrated flat base and removable threaded stud allow for seamless transitions to sliders, jibs, and other flat-base supports. This dual-purpose design reduces the need for extra adapters on set.

Streamlined Workflow

The slide-in camera plate provides 10.4cm of adjustment, offering ample room to balance accessorized rigs. Integrated plate markers allow operators to quickly return to known balance positions. For low-light environments, the illuminated level bubble ensures your horizon remains perfectly straight.
