Sachtler (Video 18 Dutch) Fluid Head

Why not take full advantage of breathtaking scenes and extraordinary settings? With Sachtler’s Video 18 Dutch, you can do just that. The head for special effects provides you with seven steps of drag, even in conjunction with lateral tilt.

Today, the normal shot just doesn’t satisfy our expectations anymore. Shots need to be thrilling, breathtaking, electrifying – camera language has become more spectacular. Sachtler has responded to this trend for new camera motion. A Dutch Head add-on has been developed for all film, ENG and DV fluid heads with camera plate 16. The Video 18 Dutch features a cross-sliding plate with a sliding range of 60 mm / 2.4" to provide for precise camera control. Thus the camera’s center of gravity can be exactly aligned over the swiveling axis. The head is able to tilt the horizon, and features a scale on its right side that shows the exact degree of third axis movement.
