View full details

The black Vinten VISION 250 Carbon Fiber Tripod System with Mid-Spreader centers on a Vision 250 fluid head engineered for modern portable digital-camera configurations used in studios and outside-broadcast production. Its distinctive twin-balancing mechanism adjusts quickly and precisely to counterbalance camera-and-lens combinations weighing up to 73 lb throughout the complete ±90° tilt range.

A non-contacting thin-film drag mechanism provides consistent resistance and dependable operation across a broad temperature range. This technology lets the operator follow a seamless movement path, transitioning from a delicate, slow pan with a tightly framed long-lens image directly into whip-pan action.

The system also supplies a two-stage Vision EFP tripod with a 150mm bowl. Its carbon-fiber legs, Pozi-Loc clamps, and precision-engineered hip joint eliminate play and increase rigidity, creating an exceptionally stable camera platform.

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

The VISION 250 HD Fluid Head from Vinten supports contemporary portable digital-camera packages used for field and studio broadcasting. Its proprietary twin-balancing mechanism can be adjusted rapidly and accurately to counterbalance virtually any camera-and-lens combination weighing up to 72.8 lb. A non-contacting thin-film drag assembly maintains consistent resistance and performance from -40 to 140°F. TF drag enables precise resistance adjustment and permits whip pans without requiring the operator to reduce drag manually.

A digital counterbalance display, illuminated drag controls, and a lighted leveling bubble further simplify and accelerate setup, including in dim production environments.

Precision Counterbalance

An innovative, patented, infinitely variable spring mechanism gives the Vision 250 pan-and-tilt head precise counterbalance. It remains balanced across the complete ±90° tilt range, greatly reducing the physical effort needed to control camera elevation. Because the camera stays properly counterbalanced, it can remain unattended at any angle without engaging the tilt brake. The variable mechanism accommodates numerous combinations of lenses, batteries, viewfinders, and onboard lights. For quicker repeatable setup, a digital counterbalance readout displays the selected balance value. Pressing one button activates the display for 15 seconds.

TF Thin-Film Drag Adjustment

Vinten's TF Thin Film damping technology supplies uniform drag and reliable operation under demanding conditions spanning -40 to 140°F. It gives operators refined camera control during the critical slow start of a shot, permits a continuous transition into a whip pan, and immediately restores the original resistance when movement ends.

The calibrated drag knobs provide variable control through a single turn from fully engaged to off. A light sensor integrated into the digital display adjusts their backlighting according to surrounding illumination.

Positive-Latching Interlock

The positive-latching interlock overrides the tilt brake, ensuring that a payload remains stationary in its fixed position and helping prevent premature brake wear.

Rapid Setup

Purposeful design details make deployment fast for operators who work continuously on the move. A double-threaded screw shank on the leveling bowl enables the bowl lock to tighten and release quickly, simplifying repeated leveling adjustments, particularly on irregular terrain.
Adjustable camera plate uses distinctive rubber grip strips to hold the camera securely and prevent movement.
Supports payloads up to 72.8 lb.

Finished in black, the Vinten 3219-91 Telescopic Pan Bar with Clamp works 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 either single- or two-stage legs and are manufactured from aluminum alloy or carbon fiber. A 150mm bowl attaches to an innovative hip joint that removes play and increases rigidity, forming an exceptionally stable platform capable of supporting up to 220 lb. Their extensive height range, Pozi-Loc leg clamps, compact form, and low weight enable fast deployment and excellent operational flexibility.

Durable Carbon-Fiber Build

Strong carbon-fiber construction provides a rugged, long-lasting platform for demanding production applications.

Stable Camera Motion

Tripod stiffness is crucial to smooth camera movement and professional image quality. Vision tripods maintain maximum torsional rigidity across their complete height range through an optimized triangular structure and advanced engineering features.

Pozi-Loc Leg-Clamp System

Vinten's innovative Pozi-Loc cam-operated clamping mechanism promotes safe, dependable operation, with positive engagement that visibly confirms when the tripod is locked.
