Q: 4. So, to be certain, is this what I would need to mount my atkiv heads (12 and 10) onto my older 100mm bowl legs (eng2cf,etc)?

A: The Aktiv10, and Aktiv12 heads should include a bowl adapter adapter with each head. However Sachtler upgraded the bowl adapter to V2. The 100mm aktiv Bowl Connector V2 from Sachtler is a dedicated adapter that clamps onto your Sachtler tripod with 100mm bowl. Installation Guide: https://bit.ly/46WgqPA

Q: 5. Can Manfrotto 501 plates be used, or are there shorter Sachtler plates?

A: No, the Sachtler aktiv Bowl Connector V2 (100mm) is for 100mm only.

Q: 7. Are there pneumatic wheels as an option?

A: Barbara is 100 percent correct. If you want to modify you could add 1/4, 5/16/, 3/8 at the max single top threaded bolt pneumatic wheels or any type of wheels to this unit. But the stock wheels are similar to hospital type smooth rolling wheels with almost zero play. They feel like sealed bearings but are clearing not both horizontal and vertical.

[3/8"-16 Male] Sachtler did good on this. Works well with the Aktiv10 head. I didn't see any anti-twist screws based on the photos but they designed it so it wouldn't twist off. There is an internal part that presses against the threads of the 3/8 bolt when you attach the head. I tested this by very loosely attaching it to my slider and mounting the head and it didn't rotate after head was mounted, despite barely screwing on. 5

[3/8"-16 Male] Got this to go with my aktiv14 kit. Works great. 5

[3/8"-16 Male] This fixes any issues that I've had while mountain my slider to a tripod. 5

[3/8"-16 Male] A tad expensive, but it works perfectly on my Flowtech 100 sticks I bought used. They didn't come with a handle when I purchased them used so I needed this handle. It makes the tripod way easier to carry. 5

[3/8"-16 Male] Love the design of this dolly. Super lightweight, but sturdy build. Smart, versatile system of levers and clamps. 5

[0.295 lb] I bought a used Flowtech. The tie down was not included. I tried to use the tie down from my 100mm Sachtler head but it was too wide for the Flowtech legs to close completely. This tie down is narrower and allows legs to close all the way. Kind of a bummer to have to purchase a specific tie down but it works. The Flowtech is really great. 5

[0.295 lb] I use this with my Syrp slider 5

[3/8"-16 Male] I got this a shorter replacement for my existing FSB 6 tripod head. The screw threads are the same but the collar was too wide to screw all the way in and was obstructed by the legs. I swapped the collar off my old tie down and it fit, however the way the tie down is shaped prevents the legs from closing all the way. It’s probably an inch and a half from being closed all the way. Not the biggest issue, it still fits in the bag fine. Just something to be aware of if you do this yourself. Overall, it’s a very good quality tie down, it would be nice if they made something similar to this low profile design for 75mm heads. 5

[0.295 lb] This is an expensive accessory but it really works and it is very useful. It allows for a super quick changeover especially when used with my Edelkrone slider. However, it also works well with my JibOne and allows for what I feel is a more stable setup versus using my Aktiv 6 head. Everything can be changed in seconds so it's a major timesaver when I'm filming. 5

Rodrigo	05/06/2024
[3/8"-16 Male] If you use a slider and have the aktiv system, you may as well go all in and get this for quickly switching or mounting the slider securely to the tripod 5
