The new Cine Series fuses Sachtler s rich cinematic heritage with its core values of quality, speed, and practicality to meet the diverse needs of cinematographers, from solo operators to larger production crews.

"Since then, Sachtler Cine heads have become an inseparable partner for filmmakers everywhere from the grandeur of Academy Award winning productions to the intimate drama of everyday storytelling."

The Cine fluid head series comprises three models Cine 20, Cine 30, and Cine 50 each the smallest and lightest in its class.
