Sachtler – Premium Tripod Systems for Photography, Video, and Broadcast Productions

Sachtler is a German manufacturer of high-quality tripod systems, renowned worldwide in the film, television, and broadcast industries for their precision, stability, and ease of use.

Founded in 1958 in Munich by cameraman and inventor Wendelin Sachtler, the company revolutionized the industry with the first fluid head tripod, enabling smooth, shake-free camera movements. This innovation set a new benchmark for camera support systems and had a lasting impact on the film industry. Over the following decades, Sachtler grew into a global market leader and became part of the British Vitec Group plc in 1995. Today, the brand stands for technical excellence, trusted in award-winning film and television productions worldwide.

The product portfolio includes versatile camera support systems for both mobile field shoots and studio productions. This includes precision-engineered fluid heads, such as the Cine models, designed specifically for film productions, delivering smooth motion even under high payloads. The flowtech® tripods stand out with their lightweight carbon construction and fast setup, while pedestals are optimized for studio applications. Complementing the lineup, Sachtler also offers accessories like camera plates and transport solutions—ensuring maximum flexibility and protection.
