Sachtler System Ace M MS 1001
Tripod System for Smaller Cameras, with Mid Level Spreader

With its payload range of 0 to 4 kilograms (0 to 8.8 lbs), Ace is the ideal camera support for smaller HDV camcorders and DSLR cameras. The 5-step counterbalance (+0) makes fast counterbalancing of the camera set-up easy. With 3 vertical and 3 horizontal grades of drag (+0), the new patented SA dragTM enables fine adjustment for precise panning and tilting. The new Sachtler Ace fluid head has a tilt range of +90° to -75°. For Ace, a glass fiber reinforced composite material was chosen, which makes the new 75mm fluid head especially light and offers a comfortable and non-slip surface feel.

Ace is delivered with the Ace plate. It comes with a 1/4” screw and pin. Spare camera screws (1/4” and 3/8”) are stored in the balance plate.

Features:

• With three vertical and three horizontal grades of drag (+0), the new patented SA dragTM damping enables fine adjustment for precise panning and tilting – the familiar Sachtler qualities users have come to know now available in a completely new price category.
• For fast counterbalancing of the camera set-up, Sachtler fluid heads work with the tried-and-tested step-shifting system. With its 5-step counterbalance, Ace thus outperforms fluid heads made by other manufacturers.
• Typical Sachtler feature: With the practical parking position for additional spare camera screws (1/4“ and 3/8“), a spare is always at hand.
• The long 104mm sliding range of the camera plate and a scaling on the camera platform is helpful when optimally positioning the camera set-up.
• If the camera is centered correctly, the camera plate is clamped with the clamping screw. In this way, the camera plate is secured in the camera platform and is released only by pressing the red locking lever.
• The brake levers are ergonomically designed, ideally positioned, and function jerk-free.
