Sachtler has just introduced a new Freddie Wong Signature Edition Ace L tripod system. YouTube superstar Freddie Wong has used the Sachtler Ace L throughout his rise in the industry and while filming comedy shorts for his production company RocketJump. RocketJump has over 7 million subscribers and 1.2 billion views on YouTube and has branched out into its own Hulu Series entitled RocketJump: The Show.

This special Ace configuration offers an Ace L head with aluminum legs with a Lime Green accent just like Freddie’s go-to glasses. Available in a limited supply, this system can handle camera packages up to 13.2 lbs (5.98kg), and is suitable for use with wide range of cameras from mirrorless and DSLRs, up to the Sony FS5 and Canon C100. The signature system weighs 4.5 kg (9.9 lbs) and includes an aluminum tripod with a mid-level spreader, footpads with retractable spikes, and a carrying bag.

The Ace L uses a 75 mm bowl, and according to Satchler the Freddie Wong Signature Edition Ace Tripod System guarantees users a great pan and tilt drag performance with its strong German engineering and patented SA-drag™ system.

“I’m incredibly excited to be working with Sachtler and to lend my John Hancock to their Ace L line of tripods,” said Freddie. “Since 2010, when we started uploading videos, Sachtler has always been the go-to tripod for all of our productions. We tend to go for a guerilla aesthetic and the Ace L in particular fits right in by combining excellent build quality with a light weight so you can easily pick up your whole camera package and flee quickly from non-permitted locations when the fuzz comes to shut you down!”

    I look forward to the Ronin Pewdiepie edition 🙂

    /we bought an Ace M a few years back for a doco DSLR kit. I had GREAT pleasure throwing it out a year later.

      It’s that bad? ?

      • Mark London

        Yes. 🙂
        I now have a couple of cheap Benros for travel/super light work that are about ten times better for a lot less.
        The M was so bad I couldn’t even bear to give it away to a young filmmaker. I mean it – we threw it out.
        /I realise this ‘special edition’ is the ‘L’. Never tried it.

    Sachtler, this is cheap marketing move…signature edition…give me a break.

  • Claire McHardy

    I don’t understand who, except from some of his fans maybe, would buy this. I don’t get it. Its like the philip bloom slider..
    Next we will be getting the PewdiePie Panasonic GH5
    The Fine Bros Teleprompter
    Kim Kardasian Kino Flow
    Do these endorsements really work? Why have someone else’s name inscribed on a tripod… write your own 🙂
