Vinten 3881-3 3-Section Carbon Fiber EFP Tripod with Versine 360 Fluid Head and Mid-Level Spreader

What sets the 3881-3 3-Section Carbon Fiber EFP Tripod with Versine 360 Fluid Head and Mid-Level Spreader apart is its exceptional design and engineering, developed in collaboration with leading OB companies worldwide. The Versine 360 Fluid Head is the pinnacle of innovation for fixed camera positions without box lenses, crafted by Vinten engineers who have meticulously studied the needs of camera operators across global broadcasts. This fluid head boasts an extended payload capacity, unique features, and unparalleled control, making it the ideal choice for the demanding environment of live television.

The Versine 360 is paired with a robust 2-stage EFP carbon fiber Pozi-Loc tripod and a Spread-Loc mid-level spreader, ensuring maximum stability and support even in challenging terrains and confined spaces. Vinten's tripods are renowned for their precise geometry and use of premium materials, optimizing torsional rigidity without sacrificing essential operational aspects such as weight, reliability, maintenance, and quick setup. The Pozi-Loc tripod offers an extensive height range and features positive action leg clamps that clearly indicate when the tripod legs are securely locked.

The Versine 360 Fluid Head is compact yet powerful, designed to accommodate any camera and non-box lens configuration with its patented compact balance mechanism. Its multi-standard base design ensures compatibility with four industry-standard fixings, including flat base and 150mm bowl, eliminating the need for additional adapters. This versatility allows seamless integration into any production setup, complementing the Vector for box lenses and the Versine 360 for other applications.

Engineered for professional use, the Versine 360 incorporates Vinten's acclaimed technology to deliver perfect control over framing. The 'Perfect Balance' feature provides smooth and precise positioning throughout the tilt range, enabling effortless control during extended broadcasts. 'TF Drag' technology offers maximum control at low speeds for accurate long-lens framing and instant whip pan capability for high-speed tracking without manual drag reduction.

Designed with ease of setup in mind, the Versine 360 includes features such as a versatile multi-standard base, convenient carry handle, hoist/tethering point, and fixing bolt observation holes to expedite rigging. Low-effort multi-turn balance and drag dials, a secure Vector-style center lock, cable clip, and accessible platform release lever enhance the camera setup process. The Versine Arm, a tailor-made fluid head accessory arm, attaches securely with a rosette to various fixing points, providing stable side-mounting for viewfinders, script holders, tablets, and other operating accessories.

Built to endure the rigors of outside broadcasting, the Versine 360 is constructed with all-metal materials, featuring low-profile controls made of steel and aluminum. Its OB-grade build quality ensures long-lasting performance, even in the most demanding environments, reinforcing Vinten's reputation for durability and reliability.

The 3-section carbon fiber tripod is lightweight, quick to set up, and offers exceptional operational flexibility with its unrivaled height range capability. Vinten's precise manufacturing and high-quality materials optimize torsional rigidity, minimizing spring back and ensuring class-leading stiffness. The tripod's toggle leg clamps clearly indicate when it is locked, and a leg catch facilitates easy transport and storage.

The Broadcast Pan Bar, designed to fit all zoom and focus demand types, includes a sliding extension and is backward compatible with Vision Pan Bar rosettes. Its telescopic design without a grip allows for clamping of zoom and focus demands without interfering with the operator's body during panning.

The Spread-Loc mid-level spreader, compatible with Pozi-Loc tripods (excluding Baby legs), ensures fast and simple setup with infinitely adjustable positioning. Its innovative design includes unique safety features to prevent accidental damage, providing reliable camera support in rough or uneven terrain and tight spaces.

For added convenience, the wheeled soft carry case offers protection for the 2-stage EFP tripod systems, suitable for both Versine and Vision systems. It includes a comfortable carry handle, padded shoulder strap, and wheels for easy portability, ensuring your equipment is safely transported wherever your broadcast takes you.
