Vinten Versine 360 Fluid Head
Achieve controlled, fluid pan-and-tilt movement with substantial camera builds using the Vinten Versine 360 Fluid Head, which supports loads up to 88 lb. Its sliding quick release plate is engineered for heavy rigs and offers 4.9" of balancing travel. Integrated 3/8"-16 screws secure the camera configuration to the head.
Continuous counterbalance stabilizes a wide range of payloads, while Thin Film drag supplies accurate movement control at any operating speed. The multi-standard base supports a 4-bolt flat-base connection, Quickfix, and both 100mm and 150mm bowls. Four accessory rosettes let you mount the included telescopic pan handle or an accessory arm on either side of the head. An illuminated bubble level helps keep the camera rig properly leveled.
Vinten Osprey Plus S 2-Stage Steering Pedestal
When film and television workflows demand rapid shot setup, the Osprey Plus S 2-Stage Steering Pedestal from Vinten provides a compact, lightweight studio support solution for professional camera systems. Its skid detaches so the pedestal separates into two sections for easier storage and transportation. The system accommodates payloads weighing up to 154.3 lb.
A manual pump and inlet valve streamline setup and balancing, while the two-stage configuration supplies the flexibility needed for both elevated and low-angle shots. The column can be adapted for use on dolly track, and support for single-wheel steering plus all-wheel crab movement enables quick repositioning in confined spaces or when shot direction changes. Durable 5" wheels and adjustable cable guards make the pedestal especially suitable for studio environments.
