Vinten VB100-AP2S - Vision 100 Fluid Head with 2-Stage Aluminum Pozi-Loc Tripod and ENG/OB Dolly in Black Finish

The Vinten VB100-AP2S system is a rugged and professional-grade tripod solution designed to meet the demands of broadcast studios, OB production environments, and field applications where precision, payload capacity, and stability are essential. Anchored by the Vision 100 fluid head, this system pairs with a 2-stage aluminum Pozi-Loc tripod, telescopic pan bar, and a heavy-duty ENG/OB dolly to provide a comprehensive support platform for medium to large-format camera systems with accessories. With advanced features, repeatable settings, and exceptional load handling, the VB100-AP2S system is built to perform in the most challenging production conditions.

At the core of the system is the Vision 100 fluid head, designed for payloads ranging from 15.4 to 44.1 pounds. It utilizes Vinten's Perfect Balance counterbalance system, which enables the operator to set and hold any tilt angle effortlessly without additional braking. The infinitely adjustable counterbalance allows precise tuning for varied lens and accessory configurations, while the TF drag system ensures consistent movement across a wide temperature range from -40°F to +140°F. The head features ±90° tilt range, illuminated drag controls, and a digital counterbalance readout that offers exact repeatable setups in low-light environments. The included sliding plate and integrated locking system provide secure and rapid camera mounting. A telescopic pan bar is included for extended reach and ergonomic control, and it can be installed on either side of the head.

The included 2-stage aluminum ENG tripod features Vinten's Pozi-Loc cam-operated clamping system for reliable locking and quick adjustments. With a 100mm bowl interface, the tripod offers a height range of approximately 16.8 to 61.5 inches and can support up to 55.1 pounds independently. Constructed with anodized tubular alloy and reinforced die-cast components, the tripod maintains high rigidity and is built to withstand demanding production environments. Its minimal mechanical clearance ensures stability during fast pans and tilts, while spiked feet provide reliable traction on a variety of surfaces.

Completing the system is the ENG Studio Dolly, which allows fluid rolling movement on hard studio surfaces. With a 31.5-inch footprint and 3.9-inch locking casters, the dolly ensures smooth repositioning between shots while supporting up to 110 pounds. Cable guards and track locks further enhance its usability in controlled studio settings. This integrated system offers an ideal combination of mobility, setup speed, and long-term durability, making it suitable for both indoor studio use and demanding field productions.
