Introduction and description
The Vector 75 pan and tilt head embodies a unique linkage counterbalancing mechanism,
patented Vinten lubricated friction (LF) drag assemblies for pan and tilt motions and an
adjustable camera mounting plate.
Perfect Balance
The balance system is easily adjusted by a knob [15] on the right side of the head. The Perfect
Balance adjustment control compensates for differing platform load/C of G heights by varying
the mechanical advantage of a bell-crank in the counterbalance mechanism.
Pan and tilt drag
Both the pan and tilt mechanisms incorporate lubricated friction (LF) drag systems to ensure
smooth movement of the camera about these axes and are fitted with control knobs ([9], [11]) to
adjust the drag setting. The drag controls are mounted on the left side of the head. The whip-
pan facility is unaffected by the pan drag setting.
Pan and tilt brakes
Friction brakes on each axis allow the head to be locked at any chosen position. The operating
levers for both brakes ([4], [5]) are fitted on the lower right rear of the head. A tilt axis centre lock
[16] is provided on the right side of the head to secure the platform in the horizontal position
during transport or load changing.
Illuminated level bubble
A level bubble [8] is fitted to the rear of the head and is provided with a time-delay illumination
unit, operated by a switch [7]. The battery for the illumination unit is contained in the base.
Pan bar
Pan bar mounting points [18] are located at the rear of the head, on either side of the camera
mounting platform. A telescopic pan bar is supplied and is attached using a pan bar clamp [10],
with angular adjustment available on the mount serrations. A second pan bar may be fitted;
telescopic and fixed short or extra short pan bars are available as optional extras.
Camera mounting
The camera is attached to the head by means of a wedge adaptor [1].
