Sachtler 1018CM Ace XL CF MS Mk II System

Are you ready?

With Ace, precision meets dedication. Achieve finesse in every shot with fast counterbalance, and smooth drag adjustments. Lightweight and compact, with consistent performance, Ace is along for the journey. From urban jungles to the call of the wild, be ready for every opportunity that comes your way.

With Ace in your corner, stability and smoothness comes with every shot. It simplifies your setup with camera plate markers, stepped counterbalance and quick pan and tilt adjustments. Ace XL supports camera rigs weighing up to 8kg (17.6lbs), with nine steps of balance to quickly match your payload. A 104mm (4.1in) balance plate sliding range helps position accessorised cameras centrally and Sachtler drag gives smooth movement in any temperature. Ace XL also includes an illuminated level bubble to keep things straight in any location and a removable threaded stud for when you want to swap to a slider. Weighing just 4.1kg (9lbs), this Ace XL system is light in weight but not in features, so go further, climb higher and capture that winning shot unplanned or in the heat of the moment.

The System Ace XL CF MS includes an ultra-lightweight 2-stage carbon fibre 75mm tripod that keeps its weight to a minimum without sacrificing strength. With three 3/8” accessory mounting points on the tripod bowl you can add something extra to your rig like a Magic Arm. Or attach the carry handle so you’re always ready to chase down the shot. The detachable flowtech-style mid-level spreader provides stability no matter how rocky the road. And when the road is long, Ace comes with a carry case for protection on the go.

Ace is built to earn its place on your journey. Designed with precision-engineered drag segments and rigorously tested materials, consistent performance is a given. That's why Sachtler is trusted by professionals like you. Whatever path you choose to travel, Ace is your support system.
