Sachtler Video 18 II Fluid Head + HP 18 II Hot Pod 10 Pneumatic Tripod + Original Heavy-Duty Case

Exceptional professional Sachtler camera support system in excellent working condition, complete with the original heavy-duty cylindrical transport case.

This is a superb example of the classic Sachtler Video 18 II professional fluid head mounted on the Sachtler HP 18 II Hot Pod 10 pneumatic aluminium tripod . Max height 1.9m

This is a genuine professional broadcast/camera-support system from Sachtler's Made in Western Germany era and is a particularly interesting combination for collectors, professional camera operators and anyone looking for extremely robust, high-quality camera support.

CONDITION
The system is in excellent overall condition for its age and and everything appears to be working correctly. The head operates smoothly and the tripod, pneumatic column, leg mechanisms and locking functions all appear to operate as intended.

There is inevitably some minor cosmetic wear consistent with previous professional use, but overall this is a remarkably well-preserved example.

One minor fault to note: one small section of one of the tripod's leg handles has broken away, as shown in the photographs. This is purely cosmetic and does not affect the operation, locking or stability of the tripod in any way. The handle remains fully usable.

I have photographed this flaw clearly so that the condition is completely transparent.

VIDEO 18 II FLUID HEAD
The Sachtler Video 18 II is a substantial professional 100 mm-bowl fluid head, renowned for its exceptionally robust construction and smooth pan/tilt performance.

Features include:

Professional 100 mm bowl head
7+7 pan and tilt drag
Adjustable counterbalance
Smooth fluid damping
Sliding camera plate
Pan and tilt locks
Professional broadcast construction
Sachtler Made in Western Germany manufacture
HP 18 II HOT POD 10
The Hot Pod is one of Sachtler's distinctive professional pneumatic camera-support systems.

The pneumatic central column allows the camera/head combination to be raised and lowered rapidly while maintaining a very substantial professional support platform.

This is the earlier aluminium Hot Pod, not the later carbon-fibre Hot Pod CF.

ORIGINAL HEAVY-DUTY TRANSPORT CASE
Included is the original heavy-duty cylindrical Sachtler transport/storage case.

This is a particularly useful and desirable part of the package, providing proper protection and making the system considerably easier to transport and store.
