- This video shows how to replace the damping module in a Sachtler Ace tripod head. The job is very easy and you can do it, the parts only cost around $100 (June 2019)
I got the word "dampening" stuck in my head because the pan drag is controlled by a damping module, thank you for overlooking the blunder.

Thank you for your video. I did try to remove the stem off my ACE XL, but no luck, it is very hard, even the bowl cannot be removed as well even though those three little bolts have been unscrewed. Any idea? Thanks.
I can't get it off either, I'm prying so hard I'm damaging the silver "3" "2" "1" ring with marks from the flathead. Not sure what to do.
same here , hard to remoce stem off my xl as well
If you dont replace the same fat that was there which ia umtra expenaive 400 dollars for a small tube, u re screwed
Hi may i know what size of the stem screw. is it 3/8mm
hi,HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found. could you replace the link again thanks!
start here: www.sachtler.com/en/product-support/spare-parts-store/ click visit the parts store, then scroll down and enter guest details, you don't need to log in... then navigate to your model of tripod head for the right parts
Wow. I was about to give up on my Ace M head, which has lost most of its pan drag on "2", while "1" and "3" settings feel exactly the same (like they are both "1"). It also makes a noise like a soft scraping as I pan too. Then I found this. Fantastic. Most I could hope for was a diagram somewhere obscure, but here's a how-to video and a link to the parts. Thank you!
happy to hear that! if you use your head gently, you'll be ok, i use mine heavy on the pan, lots of action back and forth and lots of days of use... mine has already worn out again :(, thankfully i notice now when it is bad
Interesting... gone again? Same here, lots of panning, comparatively little tilting. But I'm surprised how quickly it's worn out. I've had mine for a couple of years, but haven't used it heavily, by any means. I think I'll replace the drag unit and then sell. As good as it is when new... not thrilled about it going south so quickly. I use it when traveling light and I've read and heard good things about the E-Image GH06. In the meantime, I've opened the M up and loosened everything as you describe. Drag unit kit on order. £68 here in the UK. :)
Thank you for doing this. For those that are not so gifted mechanically, you have helped so much. Really great video and explaining all that you are doing including tour tips.
Does anyone know the part number for this? The online store isn’t functioning and the part numbers aren’t published there and Sachtler support IS ASKING ME what the part number is.
Thanks! Very useful!
Is the bottom screw 3/8" or 8mm?
Can I remove the screw and put the head direct on my tripod? I have one wooden Berlebach with 100mm Ballhead building in, but very heavy-apr. 8kg!
Thanks for a answer!
Regards!

Hello, please tell me which oil should be applied to the tripod?
Hi, I replaced the part as shown. Thanks for the very helpful video. And the pan is now indeed a lot less loose. However, it no longer feels fluid, the pan feels really sticky and so subtle fluid pan moves are impossible. I did notice there was quite a lot of grease on the original part, and wasn't any grease on the replacement part. Is this what might be causing the problem, resulting in the pan being less fluid. If so, do you have any recommendations for what to do, is there a recommended grease or oil or something that needs to be applied?? Many thanks!
Super helpfull video! There is a squeaky sound coming when I spin my head. I just want to share a video of it, you may say something. How can I send it you?
How does one adjust the tilt brake?
thank you for this video but do you know where is possible to buy the dampening mechanism on line to change it my self? Thanks!
That link for the parts was exactly what I needed! Thanks!
Better to remive the berring with 2 screwdrivers!
Any advice on replacing the level in this tripod?
You have clip repair cartoni c20s
Hmm, stem is not coming out for me for some reason on the Ace.
Lol didnt show how to get it off the tripod in first place
you just unscrew the bowl head knob, it's pretty standard on any bowl head tripods.
Tengo un trípode sachtler dv8 sb la pieza que segura el tild se rompió estoy tratando de armarla me ayudarías?
Lo siento, no tengo experiencia con ese trípode.
It was useful
great !! but do you give any lubricant on it ?
no lubricant needed except the stuff that is already on the mechanism that is reused.
Hola necesito desarmarlo completamente, limpiarlo y volverlo a armar, veo que en tu video explica como desarmar la mitad del cabezal. Tendras la explicacion para desarmar el otro eje de rotacion?
seria de gran ayuda!!
hola perdon no
Stumbled across this while researching tripod restoration. Cool that you solved your issue but the breaker bar you used was a torque wrench. Never use a torque wrench to loosen screws as you'll ruin its calibration.
