Sachtler 1002 Ace M GS Tripod System with Fluid Head (4kg Payload)

For the serious videographer, stability and fluid motion are non-negotiable. The Sachtler 1002 Ace M GS system delivers the precision engineering Sachtler is renowned for in the broadcast world, perfectly scaled for today’s HDSLR, mirrorless, and compact cinema cameras. It’s not just a set of legs; it’s a complete motion control solution designed for professionals who need reliable, repeatable results every time, whether shooting a corporate interview, a wedding film, or a passion project.

This system is built around the acclaimed Ace M fluid head, which provides a 5-step counterbalance to perfectly match your camera’s weight and a 3-step pan/tilt drag using Sachtler’s patented SA-drag™ technology. This ensures silky-smooth camera movements without jerkiness or backlash. The head is paired with a robust two-stage aluminum tripod and a ground-level spreader for exceptional torsional rigidity on flat surfaces. The entire kit, including the head, tripod, spreader, and a padded bag, provides everything you need to start shooting professional-quality video straight out of the box.

Why Sachtler Ace M GS System Is Better

While many entry-level tripods can simply hold a camera, the Sachtler Ace M GS system is engineered for controlled motion. Unlike basic video tripods that use simple friction for resistance, the Ace M features the patented SA-drag™ system, a technology derived directly from Sachtler’s high-end broadcast heads. This provides repeatable, consistent drag for professional pans and tilts. Its 5-step counterbalance is a significant functional advantage over competitors that offer a single fixed setting or a vague friction knob. This allows for perfect, true balancing of various camera and lens combinations up to 4kg, completely eliminating camera ‘flop’ and ensuring your framing remains exactly where you set it.

FAQs or Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum camera weight this tripod can handle?

A: The Sachtler Ace M GS system is designed for a payload range of 0 to 4 kg (8.8 lbs). This refers to the total weight of your camera, lens, battery, microphone, and any other accessories.

Q: What is the main difference between the GS (Ground Spreader) and MS (Mid-level Spreader) versions?

A: The GS version, which this is, uses a spreader at ground level for maximum stability on flat surfaces like studio floors or pavement. The MS version has a spreader halfway up the legs, which is better for uneven terrain like grass or rocky ground.

Q: Will my Sony A7S III or Canon R5 C work well on this tripod?

A: Absolutely. Cameras like the Sony A7/FX series, Canon R series, Panasonic GH/S series, and Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras are perfectly suited for the Ace M’s payload capacity.

Q: What is ‘counterbalance’ and why are there 5 steps?

A: Counterbalance is a spring mechanism in the head that pushes back against the weight of your camera, preventing it from tipping forward or backward. The 5 steps allow you to precisely match this force to your specific camera’s weight for perfect balance.

Q: Is the camera mounting plate Arca-Swiss compatible?

A: No, the Sachtler Ace M uses its own proprietary ‘Ace Plate’. It is not compatible with the Arca-Swiss system.

Q: Can I use this tripod for still photography?

A: While its primary design is for video, it is an extremely stable platform and can certainly be used for still photography. However, it lacks features like a portrait orientation tilt that are common on photo-specific heads.

Q: Is the illuminated leveling bubble battery replaceable?

A: Yes, the leveling bubble is powered by a standard CR2032 button cell battery, which is easily replaceable.

Q: Can I mount the Ace M fluid head on a slider?

A: Yes, the Ace M head has a standard 75mm ball base with a 3/8″-16 threaded mount underneath (after removing the tie-down handle). It can be mounted on sliders and other grip equipment that support this standard.

Q: What is the official warranty period in India?

A: Sachtler products purchased from authorized dealers like Pooja Electronics come with the official manufacturer warranty. Please check the Sachtler India website for the current warranty duration, which is typically one year, extendable upon registration.

Q: How durable is the included padded bag?

A: The included bag is well-padded and designed for ground transport and storage. For air travel, we always recommend a dedicated hard case for maximum protection.

Q: Is it possible to purchase a mid-level spreader for this tripod later?

A: Yes, Sachtler offers mid-level spreaders (like the SP 75) as separate accessories, so you can adapt your system for different shooting environments in the future.

Q: How does this system perform in extreme weather?

A: Sachtler products are built to high standards and rated for an operating temperature range of -30°C to 60°C. The fluid drag remains consistent across a wide range of temperatures.

Q: What is the primary benefit of the SA-drag™ system?

A: The key benefit is consistency. Unlike simple friction, the SA-drag™ provides precisely calibrated and repeatable levels of resistance, so you always know how the head will respond, allowing for smoother, more predictable camera moves.

Q: Do I get a GST invoice for this purchase?

A: Yes, Pooja Electronics provides a proper GST invoice with every order, which can be used by businesses to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC).

Q: How stable is the tripod at its maximum height of 169 cm?
