The Vinten VB360-OESOB is a premium outside broadcast pedestal system engineered for live television, studio, and field production where precise camera control, rapid setup, and robust support are critical. This integrated system features the highly capable Versine 360 fluid head, the fully steerable Osprey Elite S OB pedestal, and the EFP Quickfit automatic adapter. With a total payload support of up to 177 lb, this system is purpose-built for high-performance camera operations requiring stable tracking, smooth elevation, and instant deployment in demanding environments.
At the core of the system is the Versine 360 fluid head, designed to provide camera operators with unmatched control and compatibility. Its multi-standard base offers native support for 100mm and 150mm bowls, flat bases, and Vinten Quickfix mounts, eliminating the need for additional adapters. Built from rugged aluminum and steel, the head supports up to 88.2 lb and delivers fluid pan and tilt movement using Vinten's TF drag and Perfect Balance technologies. With four rosettes for accessory mounting, an illuminated bubble level, and an integrated sliding balance plate, the Versine 360 ensures fast, accurate camera alignment and adjustment, even during high-pressure OB shoots.
Supporting the system is the Osprey Elite S OB pedestal, a two-stage, high-capacity platform offering smooth on-shot stroke and elevated mobility. With a height range from 34.6 to 65 inches and a payload capacity of 154.3 lb, it's ideal for broadcast cameras with large lenses and accessories. The pedestal features a perfectly balanced upper stage for smooth vertical tracking and an open base with 6.3-inch wheels that provide excellent ground clearance. Designed for outdoor broadcast applications, it includes an integral manual pump and pressure gauge for quick balancing and setup, along with a detachable skid for compact storage and transport. The system also includes selectable single-wheel or all-wheel crab steering for enhanced maneuverability during live camera operation.
Included with the system is the EFP Quickfit automatic adapter, enabling rapid and secure camera mounting for payloads up to 100 lb. Its dual 3/8"-16 fixing points and precision wedge mount ensure a stable connection between camera and head. Combined with the Versine 360 and Osprey pedestal, this adapter streamlines rigging and changeovers on-set, maximizing uptime. With its OB-grade durability, ease of use, and comprehensive support features, the VB360-OESOB delivers professional-grade performance for any high-stakes broadcast scenario.
