The Vinten VB-FTGS system package delivers professional-level support in a lightweight and highly portable configuration. This system combines the Vision blue fluid head with the innovative Flowtech 75 carbon fiber tripod, ground-level spreader, and padded soft case - forming an ideal solution for filmmakers, ENG crews, and content creators using lightweight camcorders, DSLRs, or mirrorless cameras. With intuitive control features and rapid deployment capabilities, the VB-FTGS provides smooth camera motion, sturdy performance, and rugged reliability in any shooting environment.
At the core of the system is the Vision blue fluid head, purpose-built for smaller camera rigs weighing between 4.6 and 11 pounds. It features Vinten's infinitely adjustable Perfect Balance counterbalance system and the LF drag system for continuous, smooth pan-and-tilt control. With a tilt range of ±90° and full 360° panning, the head allows for versatile framing and tracking. The included two-way sliding plate secures to the camera via a 1/4" screw and locating pin, and an illuminated bubble level helps ensure rapid setup, even in low-light conditions. A fixed-length pan bar is included and can be mounted on either side via rosette attachments.
The Flowtech 75 GS tripod is engineered for high torsional rigidity and fast setup thanks to its unique carbon fiber leg design. Each leg features a single clamping lever that unlocks all sections simultaneously, allowing for quick adjustment. With a payload capacity of up to 44 pounds, the tripod easily supports the Vision blue head and camera rig. It offers a working height range from 16.1 to 62.2 inches when using the included ground-level spreader. The tripod supports independent leg movement, allowing users to position each leg on uneven terrain or remove the spreader entirely for extra flexibility. Dual spiked feet with removable rubber boots ensure stability across all surfaces.
Completing the system is a rugged soft case for transport and storage and a dedicated Flowtech carry handle that mounts directly to the tripod's bowl for one-handed portability. Compact, lightweight, and versatile, the VB-FTGS system is an ideal match for professionals seeking smooth operation and dependable camera support in the field.
