In this video, I take an in-depth look at the Sachtler Aktiv6 tripod to see if it truly lives up to the hype. From its innovative speed-level technology to real-world performance tests, I break down everything you need to know before making a purchase. We're testing different height adjustment scenarios and even a Dana Dolly switch. In comparison, I'm using my entry-level tripod the Manfrotto MVH502ah.
