Vinten PTZ-AP2S - 2-Stage Aluminum Tripod with PTZ/Prompter Plate and ENG Studio Dolly in Black Finish

The Vinten PTZ-AP2S is a professional-grade camera support solution tailored for PTZ camera and teleprompter setups in controlled studio environments. This system combines a rugged 2-stage aluminum tripod with a 100mm bowl, a PTZ/prompting mounting plate, and a high-performance ENG studio dolly. Designed to support up to 55 pounds, this system offers the stability, mobility, and flexibility needed for seamless studio production workflows, allowing smooth repositioning of camera and prompter rigs across flat surfaces without disrupting alignment or balance.

At the heart of the PTZ-AP2S system is the Vinten 3821-3 2-stage aluminum tripod. Built with Pozi-Loc leg clamps and die-cast aluminum alloy components, it delivers excellent strength, rigidity, and long-term durability. The 100mm bowl interface provides a stable mounting point for a variety of heads and adapters, while the tripod's height range of 27 to 68 inches offers creative flexibility in shot composition. Whether in a fixed studio installation or a semi-mobile production setting, the tripod ensures precise leveling and camera stability at all times.

To accommodate modern PTZ cameras and integrated teleprompter systems, the system includes a PTZ/pedestal adapter plate that mounts easily onto the tripod's 100mm bowl via a dedicated tie-down. The adapter ensures alignment with PTZ cameras that feature mounting threads in line with the lens center and allows for direct mounting underneath a teleprompter bracket. This configuration offers balanced support and accurate eye-level alignment, making it ideal for live studio presentations and controlled broadcast setups.

The included Vinten ENG Studio Dolly features heavy-duty aluminum construction with a leg radius of 19.7 inches and a working footprint of 31.5 inches. Outfitted with 3.9-inch locking casters, track locks, and cable guards, the dolly offers smooth and silent movement on polished studio floors while maintaining safety and cable protection. The dolly folds compactly for storage and includes an integrated carry handle, making it convenient to deploy or stow between shoots.
