Sachtler (0371 A) Tripod System FSB 4

Sachtler FSB 4 Tripod System Overview

The Sachtler 0371A Tripod System with FSB 4 Fluid Head, Aluminum Legs, and Ground Spreader is a robust, full-featured tripod system designed for videographers using cameras and accessories weighing up to 8.8 pounds. The FSB 4 fluid head is ideal for larger DSLR and mirrorless MFT cameras, as well as smaller camcorders. It incorporates Sachtler's innovative Sideload mechanism, offering the convenience of a touch-and-go system combined with the precise balancing of a sliding baseplate. The fluid head provides five steps of counterbalance (plus zero), three steps of pan and tilt drag adjustment, and a zero-drag option for smooth, unrestricted movement.

The aluminum tripod legs can support up to 44 pounds, ensuring stability even with heavier setups. Each leg is independently adjustable, making it easy to achieve a stable platform on uneven terrain. The included ground spreader is suitable for use on both hard and soft surfaces, while also protecting delicate floors. The padded carry bag allows for convenient transport of the fully assembled system, including the head mounted on the legs.
