Sachtler System Ace XL AL MS Mk II delivers uncompromising support for today’s compact cine and broadcast rigs up to 8 kg. The redesigned 75 mm aluminium two-stage tripod rises smoothly from 0.78 m to 1.69 m while the detachable mid-level spreader keeps the footprint rigid on uneven studio floors, concert stages or mountain paths. At only 4.4 kgpacked length 0.86 m, the kit travels easily yet withstands daily rental-house abuse.

At the core is the Ace XL Mk II fluid head: a precision die-cast platform with 9-step counterbalance and 3 + 0 pan/tilt drag modules that lock in repeatable moves. A broad +90° to -75° tilt window lets you frame low-angle interview cut-ins or vertical social clips without stress. The quick sideload plate slides a full 104 mm, centring fully rigged FX-based mirrorless bodies or ENG camcorders in seconds. The illuminated bubble level speeds night setups.

Rig-building is straightforward: the bowl casting offers three ⅜ʺ accessory threads for monitor arms or wireless links, and the integrated flat-base insert lets you jump onto sliders without removing the head. Rubber feet, carry handle, Ace padded bag and a single Pan Bar are standard, so crews roll out with nothing extra to buy.

Engineered for broadcast reliability, every drag cartridge is certified from -30 °C to +60 °C; seals keep dust and moisture out, ensuring identical viscosity whether you’re streaming a ski race or a desert rally. Backed by Sachtler’s renowned service network, Ace XL AL MS Mk II is the pragmatic choice for production companies who demand rock-solid moves, fast setup and airline-friendly weight in one proven system.

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 detachable threaded stud for when you want to swap to a slider. Weighing just 4.4kg (9.7lbs), 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 AL MS includes a lightweight 2-stage aluminium 75mm tripod that’s portable 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.
