I am looking to buy a new video fluid head for my Canon R5 gear. Could you please give me your opinion about which Sachtler model to buy?
Thanks very much,
Rudy

I just ordered the new Sachtler Ace M Mark 2. Looks awesome.Hi Rudy;
I'd recommend the Sachtler Ace (I have one), but it needs a 75mm bowl mount. You might think it's too big but IMO you can never go "too big" when it comes to a video fluid head where you need smooth pans at high mags. Morten Hilmer uses the Ace for all his heavy gear but that's pushing things. (He values portability). Good luck!
Hi Calson,I use the Sachtler Ace XL with a Robus RC-5570 tripod that has both flat mounting plates and a 75mm bowl which can be switched in seconds and no tool needed.
