Vinten’s Vision blue Pan Tilt Head and Tripod System
Sep 7th
Vinten®, a Vitec Group brand and a global leader in camera supports, is launching its new Vision blue at IBC2010. This new, competitively priced pan and tilt head and tripod system is designed to provide the experienced camera operator with professional support to match the extremely high-performance of today’s popular small lightweight camcorders and DSLRs equipped for video.
Vision blue addresses the need for a broadcast quality tripod system capable of genuinely balancing the smaller, lightly accessorized cameras, managing payloads between 4.6 – 11lbs (2.1 – 5kg) with a low center of gravity of approximately 55mm.
The Vision blue head incorporates Vinten’s innovative and award winning Perfect Balance technology, an integral part of Vinten’s existing Vision range, which enables consistent movement and easy positioning of the camera at any angle helping operators to achieve perfect shots with minimal effort. It also features infinitely adjustable Vision LF drag technology for silky smooth movement and precise framing. This functionality has never before been available for such light cameras, and will bring a new consistency of movement to every user.
The Vision blue is sold as a pan and tilt head, or as complete system with a two-stage aluminum tripod and a choice of floor or mid-level spreader. It also includes a high contrast blue LED illuminated leveling bubble for quick and accurate set-up in all lighting situations.
“All camera operators and professional videographers want the same thing: smooth, predictable and controllable movement; fast set-up; and a reliable product,” said Peter Harman, Vinten product manager.
“With Vision blue, we can now bring true Vinten Vision performance to users – ensuring for the very first time – that operators of the smallest professional cameras can work without creative compromise. We know this is something the market has been waiting for and we are delighted to be able to showcase the Vision blue for the first time at IBC2010,” concludes Harman.
