2011 IBC Show Preview
Vinten, part of Vitec Group
Stand 9.850

Vinten, a Vitec Group brand providing camera supports, is using IBC to showcase its range of supports for all types of camera and all media professionals. The Vision blue, which debuted at IBC last year, will be back.

As well as the Vision blue, the whole Vector family will be demonstrated. From the recently launched Vector 430 with its wide payload range, right up to the heavyweight Vector 950, the Vector range of pan and tilt heads includes solutions for all professional studio, OB and EFP requirements.

The latest addition to the Vinten Vector family, the recently launched Vector 75, will be among the featured range at IBC. The intelligent design of the Vector 75 is based on the hugely popular Vector 70, but with improved capacity, stronger, more durable components and more practical features drawn from the class leading Vector 750. The pantographic balance system, unique to the Vector range, is suitable for camera, lens and teleprompter combinations of up to 165 pounds (75 kg) and, combined with the LF drag system, it provides the ultimate in smooth, precise quality of movement.

Another recent addition to the family is the Vinten Vector 430, a pan and tilt head designed with adaptability in mind and capable of balancing loads from 22 to 94.8 pounds (10k to 43kg) a lightweight EFP camera configuration right up to a studio system with LCD prompter or compact box lens. Available in both flat and 150mm spherical base, the head will be shown alongside the Vector 430i which incorporates Vinten’s precision encoder system to stream pan and tilt data to any virtual graphics system for perfect realtime synchronisation.
