Vinten’s Vision blue Head/Tripod System wins Black Diamond Award at DV EXPO

Vinten’s new Vinten Vision blue Head and Tripod System has won the DV Magazine Black Diamond Award at the 2010 DV EXPO exhibition.

Exhibited for the first time in the US at DV Expo in Pasadena, California, the Vision blue pan & tilt head and tripod system is designed to provide professional support to match the high-performance of today’s popular small camcorders, at a competitive price. Vision blue addresses the need for a broadcast quality tripod system capable of balancing the smaller, lightly accessorized cameras, managing payloads between 4.6–11 pounds with a low center of gravity of approximately two inches.

The Vision blue head incorporates Vinten’s Perfect Balance technology, an integral part of Vinten’s existing Vision range, which enables consistent movement and easy positioning of the camera at any angle helping operators to achieve perfect shots with minimal effort. It also features infinitely adjustable Vision LF drag technology for silky smooth movement and precise framing.  This functionality has never before been available for such lightweight cameras.

The Vision blue is sold as a pan and tilt head, or as complete system with a two-stage aluminum tripod and a choice of floor or mid-level spreader.  It also includes a high contrast blue LED illuminated leveling bubble for quick and accurate set-up in all lighting situations.
