For smooth single-operator camera moves, crab or standard steering, or 30.3″ in-shot height adjustment, the Sachtler Vario Ped 2-80 is your go-to camera support for cameras and rigs weighing up to 176 lb. Suitable for use on smooth surfaces and the studio floor, the pedestal can be used as support on exteriors and interiors. With its air inlet valve and an optional manual pump or compressed air tank, you can even use the pedestal in remote locations where power can be difficult to source.

Grab the included steering ring to move the pedestal from position to position for rapid camera placement, or change the height throughout the 30.3″ range. The pedestal supports both standard steering and crab movement, allowing you to create smooth tracking and dolly moves. Featuring two Perfect Balance stages, the entire 30.3″ height range has smooth vertical adjustment for in-shot camera moves. Narrow width allows you to move among tight spaces as well as through most doorways. The air inlet valve allows you to use an external pump to charge the pedestal, and the integrated pressure gauge lets you see the pressure remaining at a glance. The removable pedestal dolly has 5″ wheels and cable guards to help prevent you from rolling over a cable ruining the shot, and it is removable for easier transport and storage.
