The new Vector 430 is aimed at the growing number of applications that use both the compact box lens and large EFP barrel lenses. Its unique design has enabled Perfect Balance to be incorporated into a previously unattainable compact and lightweight package whilst providing an extremely large capacity range of 10 - 43 kg [22 - 94.8 lbs]. This means that the Vector 430 offers a single choice when previously two heads were required.
Simple to rig and convenient to transport, the compact design of the Vector 430 maintains the functionality associated with Vinten’s renowned Vector heads, including infinitely adjustable Perfect Balance and smooth TF drag technology.
Ergonomically designed controls, including a retractable counterbalance adjuster, backlit drag knobs and illuminated LCD display, ensure ease of use in any situation, while the base of the Vector 430 includes an integral Quickfix groove for fast and secure attachment. These features combined with a Quickfit wedge adaptor make the Vector 430 the perfect choice for busy multi-camera productions.

• Small, lightweight and high capacity

• Bridges the gap between the Vision and Vector ranges

• Extensive operational temperature range

• New ergonomic Perfect Balance adjuster

• Illuminated controls for low-light situations

The new Vector 430i delivers precise positional data for virtual and augmented reality applications in outside broadcast and studio environments.
The pan and tilt head incorporates a new Intelligence Module allowing semi automatic set-up and slide plate tracking. When combined with the VRI box [see below] this provides precise real-time digital electronic positioning of pan and tilt to allow graphics to be placed perfectly into the live environment. The positional information is also displayed on a graphical user interface for ease of set up and calibration.
These features, combined with the functionality of the innovative Vector 430, make the Vector 430i an ideal choice for EFP camera set-ups where virtual reality is required - now or in the future.

• Precise, real time digital electronic positioning of pan and tilt

• Small, lightweight and high capacity

Vector 750 Pan and Tilt Head

Specification

Specification

With the Vector 750, Vinten has taken the functionality and durability of the acclaimed Vector 700 Standard and "H" versions and incorporated them into one versatile new product.
The Vector 750 features a centre of gravity range span of 8 to 25 cm/ 3.1 to 9.8 ". This covers the full centre of gravity of both the Vector 700models, creating a broad range of product capability and making product selection much easier. In addition the Vector 750 has a maximum payload of 75 kg / 165.3 lbs, allowing a greater use of camera accessories such as talent monitors and spotlights. A monitor bracket is available as an optional accessory. The inclusion of some additional robust internal components makes the Vector 750 even more durable.
Like the acclaimed Vector 700, the Vector 750 uses a unique counterbalance mechanism that does not use springs or cams. Instead a system of mechanical linkages balances cameras with various centre of gravity points, making adjustment simple and eliminating the need for time consuming cam changes when altering the camera configuration.
The Vector 750 retains all of the excellent, proven operational features of the Vector 700 including smooth operation in both pan and tilt movements with infinite adjustability for both the Perfect Balance and TF drag system. This ensures high levels of control and exceptionally smooth movement in any situation.

• Wide centre of gravity range

• 75 kg maximum payload

• Higher output drag modules provide excellent control for heavier payloads

• Optional side mounted monitor bracket

• Extensive operating temperature range from-40° to +60°C

The new Vector 750i is the first encoded pantographic head from Vinten, providing the perfect solution for virtual reality in both studio and outside broadcast for operators who love the feel of the Vector 750.
The pan and tilt head incorporates a new Intelligence Module allowing semi automatic set-up, slide plate tracking and kinematic compensation. When the Vector 750i is combined with the Vinten Radamec VRI box [see below] these features provide the most precise positioning data possible from a pantographic head, to ensure stable and accurate placement of virtual graphics into the live environment.
The Vector 750i maintains all of the market leading functionality of the Vector 750, making this pan and tilt head an ideal choice for large camera combinations where virtual reality is required – now or in the future.

• The market leading Vector 750 with virtual reality capability

• Unprecedented positional accuracy for an encoded pantographic head

• Unique slide plate and balance mechanism position measurement for mid-broadcast camera adjustments

Specification

Specification

The Vector 950 offers an increased capacity of up to 120 kg and at this payload provides ±60° of perfectly balanced tilt, allowing the safe control of today's long OB lenses.
The compact and durable Vector 950 head incorporates a wealth of features. Set-up is aided through the inclusion of a tilt deadlock, Quickfix groove in the base, retractable carry handle and illuminated controls, as well as an LCD display that offers a 24 hour clock, stopwatch and counterbalance readout that can be set for known payloads. The pan and tilt brakes are positioned at the rear of the head, making them easily accessible, and the camera plate can be simply adjusted forward and back using a retractable, ergonomically designed adjuster.
The Vector 950 features TF Drag, allowing outstanding whip pan control and an extensive operational temperature range from-40°C through to +60°C. The high output tilt drag modules also provide superb holding force and enhanced control in windy conditions. Combining these characteristics with infinite Perfect Balance adjustment ensures that the effort needed to control the effect of a heavy, moving camera payload remains constant and predictable, eliminating a major distraction during filming.

• Infinitely adjustable Perfect Balance system

• TF Drag offers extensive operational temperature range and enhanced control

• Illuminated controls for low-light situations

• Counterbalance readout for repeatable camera set-up

• Up to ±90° of tilt

Vinten has developed the Vector 950Active pan and tilt head System to interface with the Canon Optical Shift Image Stabiliser (""Shift-IS"") technology.
The result is a new stabilisation system for sports and events broadcasts. The Vector 950 Active features integral real-time digital electronic positioning for precise and accurate data, which communicates with the stabilisation systems of Canon'sDIGISUPER100AF and DIGISUPER86AF long-field zoom lenses. The result is that the intuitive and natural motions of the camera operator provide instant and active control of the Shift-IS stabilisation. The Vector 950 Active comes complete with a standard four bolt base, single telescopic pan bar and wedge adapter. It offers an increased capacity of up to 120 kg / 264 lbs providing perfectly balanced tilt.
By combining the characteristics of the TF drag control with infinite perfect balance adjustment, the effort needed to control the effect of a heavy, moving camera payload remains constant, predictable and minimal- not a major distraction.
The combination of Vinten's Vector 950 Active and Canon's Shift-IS stabilisation is ideally suited for use in sports broadcast and other production.

• Instant, active picture control designed for fast paced HD OB

• Sharp, stable pictures -no trace of lag after pan or tilt movements

• Minimal amount of processing required for final broadcast output

The Vector 950Active is available as two systems:
The Vector 950ActiveC4 system, which communicates with Canon’s Digisuper 100AF and 86AF lenses; comprising of the Vector 950OE head with optical encoders (V3984-0001) and C4 Active serial box (ASB-CIN-C4)
The Vector 950ActiveC2 system, which communicates with Canon’s Type 2 Digisuper 100XS*, 86XS* and 75XS* lenses; comprising of the Vector OE head with optical encoders (V3984-0001) and C2 Active serial box (ASB-VIN-C2).
