Sachtler VIDEO 15SB

Professional 100 mm fluid head for broadcast and cinema camera setups

Sachtler VIDEO 15SB is a professional fluid head designed for ENG, documentary, broadcast and cinema-style camera packages where smooth, repeatable movement and reliable balance are essential. Its 100 mm bowl makes it suitable for larger tripod systems, while the 1–16 kg payload range covers everything from compact professional cameras to heavier shoulder-mounted and fully accessorized rigs.

The head offers a wide tilt range from +90° to -75°, allowing both steep upward and downward framing. A sliding balance plate with approximately 70 mm of travel helps position the camera over the head correctly before counterbalance is adjusted.

12-step counterbalance and 7-stage drag control

A 12-step counterbalance system allows the head to be matched to different camera weights and centres of gravity. Correct counterbalance helps the camera remain at the selected tilt angle instead of falling forward or backward, which is particularly useful with long lenses, matte boxes, batteries and other accessories.

Pan and tilt drag can be adjusted independently through seven levels plus a zero setting. This allows the operator to move from very free movement to much heavier resistance depending on the shot. Matching the same drag setting on both axes also helps produce controlled diagonal moves without sudden changes in resistance.

ENG 2 CF carbon fibre tripod with ground spreader

Our set pairs the Video 15 SB head with the Sachtler ENG 2 CF carbon fibre tripod. The two-stage legs use a 100 mm bowl and are designed for fast ENG-style setup while remaining relatively light and torsion-resistant. The ground spreader provides a wide, stable footprint and allows the leg angle to be controlled on studio floors, interiors and other relatively even surfaces.

The head itself weighs approximately 2.8 kg, giving the system the stability expected from a professional broadcast support package without becoming unnecessarily cumbersome.

The combination is well suited to interviews, documentaries, commercials, multicamera shoots and longer-lens work where smooth pans, controlled tilts and dependable counterbalance are more important than ultra-lightweight portability.
