The Vinten Versine 360 is a next-generation multi-base fluid head designed to deliver unrivaled precision, support, and operator-centric control for heavy-duty broadcast camera systems up to 88.2 lbs. Developed in close collaboration with top OB (Outside Broadcast) companies and camera operators worldwide, the Versine 360 is tailored specifically for fixed camera positions using digital broadcast cameras without large box lenses. Drawing upon decades of engineering innovation and real-world field experience, this advanced fluid head redefines setup flexibility, pan/tilt performance, and rigging convenience in high-pressure, live-production environments.
The Versine 360 incorporates a patented compact balance mechanism that offers a perfect continuous counterbalance across the entire 180° tilt range. This mechanism compensates for the effect of gravity on any payload without requiring manual correction, ensuring cameras stay exactly where positioned without drift or resistance. Vinten's TF Drag system further enhances operator control, delivering consistent resistance at low speeds for accurate framing and immediate recovery for whip pans at high speed - perfect for fast-paced sports and event coverage. All drag controls are backlit, gear-driven, and precisely calibrated, enabling seamless operation even under low-light conditions.
One of the standout innovations of the Versine 360 is its patented multi-standard base. This design accommodates four industry-standard mounting systems, including a 150mm bowl, 100mm bowl, four-bolt flat base, and Quickfix compatibility. This eliminates the need for separate adapters and simplifies the rigging process across multiple production setups. The head also features a sliding quick release plate with a 4.9-inch balancing range, secured by dual 3/8"-16 screws, a 1/4"-20 screw, and locating pin - capable of supporting heavy accessories while ensuring rapid camera mounting and stability.
Versine 360 introduces a unique operator accessory arm - Versine Arm - the first purpose-built side-mount solution for professional viewfinders, tablets, and script holders. It attaches via four mounting rosettes, including tilting and non-tilting points, to expand workspace efficiency. Additional design features include a high-contrast illuminated bubble level, stainless steel center lock, integrated carry handle, hoist/tethering point, cable clips, and fixing bolt observation holes - all engineered to improve usability, speed up rigging, and enhance durability. Constructed entirely from aluminum and steel, this all-metal system sets a new benchmark in OB-grade fluid head performance.
