Description
The Vinten V3AS-AP1M Vision 3AS Pan and Tilt Fluid Head allows a variety of camcorder combinations to balance perfectly without the need to change springs. This ability to dial in just the right amount of counterbalance is ideal, especially when it is common for lightweight cameras to be reconfigured at any time with lenses, batteries and a multitude of optional accessories.
In addition the head features Vinten’s LF drag technology, the new Vinten Sideload system for rapid camera attachment and the new high contrast blue LED illuminated leveling bubble. The Vision 3AS is a highly specified pan and tilt head that provides functionality previously only available to users of larger cameras.
The Vinten V3822-0001 Pozi-Loc tripod is a precision-engineered single stage, aluminum tripod. It offers a 75mm-bowl and Pozi-Loc leg clamping system. This lightweight, compact tripod is quick and easy to set up and provides excellent operational flexibility. The revolutionary Spread-Loc is a fully adjustable, geared mid-level spreader, controlled by a single lock knob. In addition, the arms are individually extendable to provide a large spreader radius and facilitate use on uneven ground. The Spread-Loc spreader may be installed on any tripod provided with Spread-Loc attachment points. Fits all Pozi-Loc 75, 100 and 150mm bowl tripods and Torque-Safe ENG tripods.
The Vinten 3334-3 Soft Carrying Case (Blue) is a padded, weather-resistant 600 denier polyester PVC tripod bag made to carry Vinten Vision 3, Vision 6, Vision 8 or Vision 11 single stage tripod systems. It is required for use with the Vinten 3372-3 tripod shipping tube.
