The Vinten V8AS-CP2F is a professional-grade tripod system built for shoulder-mounted camcorders and mid-size broadcast cameras. This comprehensive system includes the Vision 8AS fluid head, a 2-stage carbon fiber Pozi-Loc tripod, a ground-level spreader, and a padded soft case for safe transport and storage. Engineered for demanding production environments, this system provides advanced balance control, rugged durability, and seamless camera operation for ENG, documentary, and on-location production work.
At the heart of the system, the Vision 8AS fluid head supports payloads from 12.1 to 30.8 pounds and features an infinitely adjustable counterbalance mechanism for perfect balance across the full ±90° tilt range. The LF drag system offers precise, calibrated pan and tilt adjustments, enabling smooth camera movement even during dynamic shots. The head includes a quick-release side-load platform, a telescopic pan bar, and a blue illuminated bubble level, providing fast setup, even in low-light conditions. Designed for professional use, it offers independent pan and tilt locks and a durable build that can withstand daily use in the field.
The included 3772-3 carbon fiber Pozi-Loc tripod delivers high stability with lightweight construction. The two-stage, three-section design provides a working height range from 16.83 to 61.5 inches while maintaining excellent torsional rigidity, essential for smooth panning and tilting. The Pozi-Loc cam-operated leg clamping system allows for secure and quick height adjustments, and its carbon fiber construction ensures resilience and ease of handling in demanding production conditions.
Completing the system is the 3363-3 ground-level spreader, which improves tripod stability and folds with the legs for convenience. The system is housed in the Flowtech 75 soft case, a padded nylon bag with zippered closure, carry handles, and optional support for shoulder straps. This makes the entire kit highly portable and well-protected for transport between sets or locations.
