Vinten VB5-FTMS - Vision Blue5 Fluid Head with Flowtech 75 Tripod and Mid-Level Spreader in Soft Case

The Vinten VB5-FTMS system is a high-performance tripod solution designed for professional videographers who require smooth control, robust payload capacity, and fast deployment in a lightweight form factor. Combining the Vision blue5 fluid head with the Flowtech 75 carbon fiber tripod and mid-level spreader, this system offers precise motion control and exceptional stability for medium to large camcorders, as well as DSLR and mirrorless camera rigs equipped with accessories. With a quick-deploy design and professional-grade build quality, it's ideal for field production, ENG, and documentary work.

The Vision blue5 fluid head features infinitely adjustable counterbalance and drag systems, enabling seamless camera balancing and smooth pan-and-tilt movement. Supporting payloads between 12.1 and 26.5 pounds, the head delivers full ±90° tilt capability and is built around a 75mm bowl for secure mounting. The included sliding plate allows for precise fore/aft balance adjustment and is secured with a safety catch to prevent accidental release. A fixed-length pan bar offers comfortable control from either side, and the illuminated bubble level helps with fast leveling even in dim environments.

The Flowtech 75 MS tripod features a unique carbon fiber design that maximizes torsional strength while minimizing weight. Each leg has a top-mounted flip lock for fast height adjustments and supports independent leg spread, which is ideal when working on uneven surfaces. The system supports up to 44 pounds and extends from approximately 24.8 to 61.8 inches when using the included mid-level spreader. The mid-level spreader provides extra rigidity and can be removed to allow the legs to spread wide for low-angle shots. Dual spikes and snap-on rubber feet give the tripod reliable footing on a wide range of terrains.

Also included is a padded soft case for storage and transport, along with a dedicated Flowtech carry handle that attaches to the tripod's accessory dock for convenient single-handed carry. Whether you're working in studio setups or dynamic field environments, the VB5-FTMS delivers durability, ease of use, and the control professionals rely on.
