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

The Vinten VB5-FTGS tripod system is built for professionals who demand high performance, reliable support, and fast setup in the field. This comprehensive system pairs the Vision blue5 fluid head with the Flowtech 75 carbon fiber tripod and ground-level spreader to deliver smooth camera motion and stable operation in a lightweight, portable package. Designed for ENG, documentary, and field production applications, the VB5-FTGS supports camera payloads up to 26.5 pounds and offers advanced adjustability and durability in challenging environments.

The Vision blue5 fluid head features infinitely adjustable counterbalance and tilt drag, making it ideal for larger DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and compact cinema rigs. With a support range from 12.1 to 26.5 pounds, this 75mm bowl-mount head provides precise pan-and-tilt movement with a full ±90° tilt range and a calibrated LF drag system for consistent, fluid motion. The included sideloading plate accommodates both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting screws, while the built-in safety catch ensures secure operation. An illuminated bubble level assists with quick and accurate leveling, even in low-light situations, and the included fixed-length pan bar attaches to either side via locking rosettes.

The Flowtech 75 GS tripod features a revolutionary leg design crafted from high-strength carbon fiber, providing exceptional torsional rigidity and lightweight handling. With a payload capacity of 44 pounds, the tripod extends from 16.1 to 62.2 inches when used with the included ground-level spreader. Each leg features a single top-mounted clamping lever for quick deployment, and the independent leg adjustment makes it easy to achieve stable shots on uneven ground. The removable ground spreader adds flexibility and stability, while dual spiked feet and included rubber feet provide reliable footing on both soft and hard surfaces.

Rounding out the system is the Flowtech soft carry case, designed for transporting and protecting the tripod system during travel. The included carry handle attaches easily to the tripod's accessory dock, allowing for one-handed transport in fast-paced environments. With its combination of robust support, smooth control, and fast deployment, the VB5-FTGS is a versatile and dependable solution for modern content creators and broadcast professionals.
