Sachtler Video 18 III Fluid Head


This unit is fully operational and performs as expected in all primary functions. Pan and tilt are smooth, and the counterbalance system is working properly.


Cosmetic condition shows normal wear from professional use, including surface marks and scratches consistent with rental/field gear.



⚠️ IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ


When the tilt drag (dampening) is engaged, there is an audible clicking during tilt movement. You can also see slight movement in the drag levers as the click occurs.

• Drag is present and functioning

• Head remains fully usable

• Issue does not prevent operation


That said, this is a known mechanical quirk and has been priced accordingly.
