The Sachtler flowtech Ground Spreader is designed to work with the flowtech 75 and 100mm legs to provide a fast and simple-to-operate experience. A foot-activated control allows you to extend the arms of the spreader, so there is no bending down to unlock the arms when you want to spread the legs. Spring-loaded latches allow you to remove the feet from the spreader for low shots or when you want to use the internal stops of the legs.

Q: 1. Pre-sale question: I'm currently running a Sony FS5 with heavy lenses, an Atomos Inferno and sometimes a a MixPre recorder. I usually load up with lots of power (AB Gold) and may want to set up for a recoil rig operation in the future. Would I be better served by the FSB6 or an Ace XL on the Flowtech sticks?

A: The FSB6 has a load capacity between 3.3 to 17.6 pounds while the Ace XL goes between 4.4 to 17.6. Both will handle a larger load well, however if you run the set up a bit lighter the FSB6 with a lower capacity gives you the room to do so.

Q: 2. If I wanted to put a 100mm head, like the oconnor 2040 on the sticks that come with this kit, would I be able to?
