6 Vinten Camera Supports Perfect Balance Perfect Balance Perfectly Balanced Pan and Tilt Heads Why is balance important? Imagine the scenario: a person holds a weight at shoulder height with their arm bent and close to their body; the further they extend their arm from their elbow, the harder it becomes to support the weight. Why? The weight does not become heavier but the amount of effort (torque) required to support the weight increases as the weight is moved further from the elbow (pivot point). This explanation is also true for a camera that is tilted. The further it is tilted from the horizontal, the more torque is required to prevent the camera falling. Why is Perfect Balance the best solution? Most manufacturers offer counterbalance systems that cannot produce the exact amount of torque required. Figure 1 shows that the amount of torque required as a result of tilting the camera has a precise but non-linear pattern. This means that the out of balance effect is most prominent on heads manufactured with linear counterbalance systems. Even where a manufacturer has included continuously variable counterbalance, if it is only approximate the camera will not be completely controlled throughout the tilt range of the head (see Fig.2). Minimal effort is required to move the camera; the camera operator can even go hands-free. Vinten s infinite adjustment allows exactly the right amount of torque to be generated at whatever angle the camera is positioned. Compensating for the effect of gravity, Vinten s Perfect Balance makes the camera appear weightless in the hands of the camera operator. And, as it balances perfectly the drag control can be used for what it is intended to do: shot framing and control, rather than helping to balance the camera. This means: Consistent movement and easy positioning of the camera at any angle This torque is produced by the pan and tilt head s counterbalance system. If it does not match the camera weight and angle exactly the camera will either fall away or return to centre. The Vinten Perfect Balance system is easy to set and offers infinite adjustment, providing precisely the right amount of torque necessary to counterbalance the camera throughout the head s tilt range. Perfect shots captured with minimal effort Physical strain eliminated; easy to work longer 4000 Fig.1 Fig Key: 1. out of balance zone 2. camera requirement & Vinten Perfect Balance 3. competitor 1 linear counterbalance 4. competitor 2 continuously variable approximate balance Torque 0 0 Tilt O Tilt O Vinten s unique infinitely adjustable Perfect Balance makes the camera appear weightless in the hands of the camera operator. 04 Vinten Camera Supports 2009

7 How to achieve 180 Perfect Balance in 4 simple steps: 1 Slide the camera onto the head using the Vinten slide plate and position it so that the camera s centre of gravity sits over the centre of the head. 2 Reduce the tilt friction to its minimum. 3 Tilt the camera both forward and back; if the camera is correctly positioned it will either fall away from, or return to the horizontal at an even rate either side of the head s top dead centre. 4 If the camera falls away from the centre position, turn the Perfect Balance knob clockwise. If the camera springs back towards the centre, turn the Perfect Balance knob anticlockwise. Perfect Balance is achieved when the camera remains stationary in any tilted position. Perfectly Balanced Pedestals Perfect Balance is an equally important part of Vinten pedestals. Why is balance important? In this context balance literally means the support offered by the pedestal to the camera/lens configuration. Without balance the camera would fall to the pedestal s lowest point or rise to the pedestal s highest point making it impossible to film. Why is Perfect Balance the best solution? Non-perfect balance systems require variable effort throughout the stroke of the column and are therefore harder to use; the camera will have a tendency to fall or rise at certain points, which, depending on its severity, can make smooth movement and steady framing virtually impossible. The Vision Ped Plus, Pro-Ped, Osprey, Quartz and Quattro ranges utilise precisely engineered and patented balance systems, providing smooth and controllable camera balance. Vinten s Perfect Balance technology ensures that the pedestals can be moved effortlessly and once positioned will stay put - whatever the weight of the camera configuration. This means: Smooth, low effort elevation movement No distraction from filming caused by unwanted vertical movement Physical strain eliminated; easy to work longer Vinten Camera Supports Perfect Balance Perfect Balance ensures that the pedestal column system consistently offers the exact support required for the camera operator to raise and lower the camera with minimal effort. Vinten pedestals are used all over the world because Perfect Balance enables the operator to concentrate on the shot and not on the pedestal. 05

8 Vinten Camera Supports Drag Technology Drag Technology Why is drag important? In order to control the camera, resistance to movement (drag) is needed to prevent overshooting, dampen out unwanted movements and to make minor adjustment virtually impossible to detect. Why is Vinten drag technology the best solution? Whilst drag is essential, it can have a negative effect if the system is poorly designed. All too often (see Fig.1) drag systems are designed so that resistance to movement increases proportionally with the speed of pan or tilt. Where this is the case, whip pan becomes impossible and minute framing adjustments difficult to achieve. Vinten drag systems are designed to offer complete camera control at any level of movement. Figure 1 shows how Vinten drag systems provide a steep increase in friction at the start of any movement. This ensures that maximum control is gained quickly: essential for slow moves and fine framing adjustments. As the movement speed increases a shallower friction curve is created, enabling the pan and tilt head to remain light and easy to move whilst the shot continues to be controlled. 25 If the action changes out of shot Vinten s patented drag systems allow instant whip pan movement without any manual reduction of the drag. This is ideal for applications such as sports coverage which require lower drag for following the close action and higher drag for longer shots. Vinten pan and tilt heads also offer infinite, rather than stepped adjustment. This enables the camera operator to select the drag level that suits their working requirements, rather than a pre-determined level which may not. This means: Simple, infinite adjustment without steps Instant whip pan without manual drag reduction Fast and repeatable set-up Illuminated drag controls [from Vision 100 upwards] Fig.1 Lubricated Friction [LF] Drag Vision 3AS, 5AS, 8AS, 10AS and Vector 90 Vinten s LF drag is an infinitely adjustable friction system combined with a unique lubricant fluid, allowing for fine adjustment of drag levels as well as whip pan at any level of drag.

15 NEW for 2009 the Vision 3AS, 5AS, 8AS and 10AS incorporate many unique features and design improvements which have been developed in direct response to customer feedback: New stylish elegant look in perfect black - Discreet use in any situation True Perfect Balance - Consistent and dependable camera movement and framing, any time Robust and considered design - Take the rigours of everyday use head on, day after day, after day New bold blue illuminated level bubble - Quick, accurate and convenient set up Side load camera attachment - Rapid, convenient adjustment and removal at any time Multi-turn drag adjustment - Easy to use with a wide range to suit even the most demanding user I was given the opportunity to try out unreleased prototypes of the new Vision 3AS and Vision 8AS in and around Boston on a cold spring morning. I was curious to see how these new heads would stack up against other Vision pan and tilt heads I've used from Vinten in the past, such as the Vision 11. When I started shooting, I was very impressed. My camera system weighed about 11.5 kg / 25 lbs and I was able to get Perfect Balance and control with my camera movement, even in the cold weather. At one point, I had the camera tilted almost straight up in the air and still had perfect control over the starting and stopping of my pans and tilts. Just like the silky smooth Vision 11, this new prototype allowed me to perform perfect pans with precision. I like the little extras Vinten has added to the new head design like a place to store extra screws for mounting the camera plate. The new quick release for the wedge plate is a welcomed addition and will make it easier to add and remove the camera when on the move in the field..

28 Vinten Camera Supports Tripods, Spreaders and Skids / Dollies Tripods, Spreaders and and Skids Skids/Dollies / Picture quality relies as much upon the rigidity of the camera support as it does on the smoothness of the pan and tilt head and accuracy of the counterbalance. Vinten offer a range of Pozi-Loc tripods (pages 27 to 29) that are designed to achieve optimum picture quality for those shooting with lightweight camera configurations, as well as Heavy Duty tripods (pages 30 to 31) that make the perfect shot possible with heavier camera configurations up to 140 kg / lbs. All Vinten tripods are precisely manufactured using the highest quality materials and are designed to optimise torsional rigidity without compromising operational essentials such as weight, reliability, maintenance and speed of set-up.

The Vinten tripod was absolutely fantastic. It made my life so much easier to have a top-quality tripod out there, particularly in the tiny and remote island country of Tuvalu, where the shooting conditions were very challenging. When you re already worrying about salt water, dust, rust, and convincing shy and retiring Polynesians to give you their frank views about climate change, you really don t want to have to worry about spending hours to level a shot or fussing around with your tripod.

The Vector 750 features a centre of gravity range span of 8 to 25 cm / 3.1 to 9.8. This covers the full centre of gravity of both the Vector 700 models, creating a broad range of product capability and making product selection much easier. In addition the Vector 750 has a maximum payload of 75 kg / lbs, allowing a greater use of camera accessories such as talent monitors and spotlights. A monitor bracket is available as an optional accessory. The inclusion of some additional robust internal components makes the Vector 750 even more durable. Like the acclaimed Vector 700, the Vector 750 uses a unique counterbalance mechanism that does not use springs or cams. Instead a system of mechanical linkages balances cameras with various centre of gravity points, making adjustment simple and eliminating the need for timeconsuming cam changes when altering the camera configuration. The Vector 750 retains all of the excellent, proven operational features of the Vector 700 including smooth operation in both pan and tilt movements with infinite adjustability for both the Perfect Balance and TF drag system. This ensures high levels of control and exceptionally smooth movement in any situation.
