View full details

The black Vinten VISION 250 Carbon Fiber Tripod System with Ground Spreader combines a Vision 250 fluid head with Vinten's distinctive twin-balancing mechanism, enabling accurate adjustment for payloads weighing as much as 73 lb. Its drag assembly uses non-contacting thin-film technology to maintain uniform resistance and dependable performance throughout a broad temperature range. The package also contains a two-stage Vision EFP carbon-fiber tripod with a 150mm bowl and useful professional features that include precision-engineered Pozi-Loc leg clamps.

Vinten VISION 250 HD Fluid Head (100/150mm Ball Base, Black)

Built for current portable digital-camera combinations used in field and studio broadcast work, the VISION 250 HD Fluid Head from Vinten uses a proprietary twin-balancing mechanism that quickly counterbalances camera-and-lens configurations weighing up to 72.8 lb. Its drag mechanism relies on non-contacting thin-film technology, producing consistent resistance and stable operation across temperatures from -40 to 140°F. TF drag permits fine control of resistance while allowing whip pans without manually reducing the drag setting.

The Vision 250 also features a digital counterbalance readout, illuminated drag knobs, and a lighted bubble level, enabling fast, straightforward setup even under low-light conditions.

Balanced at Every Angle

The Vision 250 achieves precise counterbalance through a patented, infinitely adjustable spring system. The head remains balanced while tilting across the entire ±90° range, significantly reducing the operator effort required to control vertical movement. Once balanced, the camera can be left hands-free at any angle without locking the tilt brake. Its variable mechanism works with many combinations of batteries, lenses, viewfinders, and camera-mounted lights. A digital readout further accelerates setup and makes balance settings repeatable. Pressing a button activates the display, which stays visible for 15 seconds.

TF Thin-Film Drag System

Vinten's TF Thin Film damping mechanism maintains steady drag and consistent performance in demanding temperatures ranging from -40 to 140°F. It supplies precise camera control during a shot's critical slow start, supports a fluid transition into whip-pan movement, and immediately returns to the original resistance afterward.

The calibrated drag knobs offer continuously variable adjustment through one rotation from fully on to off. Their backlighting changes with ambient conditions through a light sensor incorporated into the digital display.

Secure Interlock Mechanism

A positive-latching interlock overrides the tilt brake so the payload cannot shift from its fixed position, helping protect the brake against premature wear.

Fast Deployment

Specialized design features shorten setup time for mobile operators. The leveling bowl incorporates a double-threaded screw shank that quickly tightens or releases the bowl lock, making frequent leveling corrections easier, particularly when working over uneven terrain.
Unique rubber grip strips on the adjustable mounting plate keep the camera securely fixed.
Maximum supported load is 72.8 lb.

Vinten 3219-91 Telescopic Pan Bar with Clamp (Black)

The black Vinten 3219-91 Telescopic Pan Bar with Clamp is compatible with Vinten Vision 8AS/10AS and Vision 100/250 fluid heads.

Vinten 3880-3 EFP Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs

Vision EFP tripods are precision-engineered with single- or two-stage legs constructed from aluminum alloy or carbon fiber. Their 150mm bowl connects to an innovative hip joint that eliminates looseness and adds rigidity, creating an exceptionally stable camera platform rated for loads up to 220 lb. A broad height range, Pozi-Loc clamps, compact dimensions, and lightweight construction enable rapid setup and versatile operation.

Strong Carbon-Fiber Construction

Rugged carbon fiber supplies the strength and durability necessary for intensive professional applications.

Smooth, Stable Camera Movement

Structural rigidity is fundamental to smooth camera motion and excellent image quality. Vision tripods combine an optimized triangular geometry with innovative engineering to maintain maximum resistance to torsional movement throughout their height range.

Pozi-Loc Leg Locks

Vinten's innovative Pozi-Loc cam-operated clamps enhance reliability and safety, with positive engagement that clearly shows when each leg is securely locked.
