Sachtler's Ace Helps Capture BMX Competition

News Image
Ryszard Syryczyński and production company RyyS was contracted to shoot this year's Simple Session, one of the world's biggest BMX competitions, in Tallinn, Estonia.
Throughout, Syryczyński used the Sachtler Ace M fluid head and the Ace 75/2 D tripod.
"The Ace M was in use the whole day," he said. "I used the tripod system for overview images, close-ups, and interviews."
The patented SA-drag damping system features three vertical and three horizontal grades of drag. The tilt range of the beginners' fluid head is +90° to -75°.
"The racers simply jumped over me or rode by so closely that it was almost scary," says Syryczyński. "With the Ace M, I was able to capture every exciting image over, under, or next to me. The 75-mm tripod system with mid-level spreader prevented shaky images on uneven ground, as the rubber feet with retractable spikes provided a firm stand."
With a weight of 4.3 kg (9.4 lbs), the system featuring the fluid head, made of stable fiberglass composite material, and the Ace 75/2 D tripod, made of aluminum, is one of the lightest Sachtler tripod systems.
"Together with my Panasonic AG-HMC 151, the Ace M and I were an unbeatable team," reports Syryczyński. "Likewise, we delivered optimal performance with the Canon EOS 7D."
