Designed for use with 75mm bowl tripods, the Acebil CH1 75mm Fluid Headfeatures a 75mm ball design and supports loads up to 15.4 lb. An 8-step counterbalance allows you to compensate for the weight of your rig for better balancing, while independent 4-step pan and tilt drag settings provide adjustable resistance for precise movements. A sliding quick release plate attaches to your camera via a 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 screw, for easy attachment and removal. To assist in keeping your shots level, even in dim environments, the head has a built-in LED illuminated bubble level. A pan bar comes included and can be attached on either the left or right side of the head.

A: Removing the Sachtler Ace XL Fluid Head's (75mm Bowl) tie down would not make the Sachtler Ace XL Fluid Head (75mm Bowl) compatible with your flat base tripod legs, instead you would need to use a compatible bowl adapter, such as the ProMediaGear 75mm Bowl Adapter (6") (BH #PRTRHH2), which would add a bowl mount to your tripod legs.

[+90° to -70°] Very impressed with this fluid head. My previous fluidhead was not the smoothest but the Sachtler Ace XL is very smooth with numbered resistance settings for both panning and tilting. It also has a tension setting that helps prevent your equipment from falling forward or backward when attaching them. One thing to check before purchasing. Will it fit your tripod? I have a Gitzo Tripod with a 75mm plate. This fluid head needs a 75mm bowl head adaptor. This is a drop in for Sachtler tripods. 5

[+90° to -70°] This is a great fluid head at a reasonable price. I've used Sachtler heads for a few years now and they are definitely an improvement from your standard Manfrotto heads. I highly recommend the ACE XL because it can carry a decent payload in a compact, ergonomic, and rugged form factor. I use it with the Manfrotto 535 legs and an FX6, Ninja V, and wireless transmitter on top most of the time and this handles it like a champ. 5

[75 mm Half Ball] The other reviews on this head are unfair and not accurate, in my opinion. We've used an ACE L fluid head for almost 2 years and are very pleased with its operation, counterbalance and smooth panning/tilting. The composite material has held up perfectly well. We looked at competitive heads and bought the latest ACE XL instead - a vote of confidence. The buyer should be aware that with the extended payload range of the XL versus the L that there is no longer a 0 setting for counterbalance, and the unit is rated for 2-8kg versus the L which was rated for 0-6kg. The lowest counterbalance setting of 1 on the XL is similar to the setting 2 on the L. This is less of an issue than it might sound like since the 0 counterbalance setting on the L seems more useful for setup than operation, and neither head is ideal for tilting a truly light camera setup (naked mirrorless with prime lens). I was tempted by the lure of continuous counterbalance adjustment, but found that the repeatable workflow offered by a decent number of discrete settings is superior in the real world. My experience with the less expensive competitor mentioned by another reviewer were very negative, leaving me to wonder if the discrepancy is due to significant variability in quality by that manufacturer or simply lack of discernment by the review. Ultimately the real value in the Sachtler Ace heads is the combination of impeccable results which they are able to provide and the great price point. 5
