Q: 1. I have original FlowTech 75 legs. Why isn't the "metal bowl insert" described as included with the aktiv6 head in the "what's in the box" listing? Without that, I can't use aktiv on the FLowTech legs - trust me, I've tried.

A: Yeah I did. My point is its NOT in the box. I bought two of them. Shipped them to SachtlerVitek service in Connecticut. They didnt install or upgrade anything. Returned my Aktiv heads. I dont think they have this issue addressed, at least in the US.

Q: 6. what are the main differences between the aktiv10. aktiv10T and FSB 10 Mk II fluid heads and which is best?

A: The standard Sachtler aktiv10 has a sideload plate that slides or drops into the head; however, the plate is much larger than the Sachtler aktiv10T Touch and Go plate system. Side load plates can slide about 1–2 inches more for balancing your camera payload. Both options are popular, and the choice is based on your preference. Touch and Go vs. Side load by Sachtler. https://bhpho.to/3MUK1kA

Q: 7. The aktiv10 doesn't fit flowtech 100mm tripod legs as advertised - does Sachtler have any solutions yet?

A: The Aktiv10 Fluid Head is compatible with the Flowtech100 legs, but the process for mounting is different than a standard 100mm ball head. On the Aktiv10, the large lever on the side of the head is used for mounting onto the pin. The pin is to first be mounted onto the legs by removing the red piece around the inside of where the pin sits and use that to mount back onto when the pin is sitting in place coming from under the legs, clamping down the pin in place.

Q: 8. Can the Aktiv8 be mounted to a Gitzo 75mm bowl on a Gitzo series 5 tripod?

A: Yes, the Aktiv8 head should mount just fine with either the Gitzo 75mm bowl or with a Sachtler Adapter for 75mm aktiv Head to Slider: SAS20800003, to mount it directly to a 1/4" threaded screw base.

Q: 9. Can this go frictionless on the horizontal?

A: Yes the AKTIV8T will fit in your 75mm Bowl adapter.
