Vinten Osprey Plus S 2-Stage Steering Pedestal System with Versine 360 Fluid Head and 5" Wheels

Be prepared to elevate your broadcast production with the Osprey Plus S 2-Stage Steering Pedestal System, featuring the innovative Versine 360 Fluid Head and robust 5" wheels. This advanced system is the result of a collaboration with leading OB companies, designed to meet the rigorous demands of live television and fixed camera positions without box lenses.

The Versine 360 Fluid Head is a pinnacle of engineering, offering an extended payload capacity and unique features that provide exceptional control. Developed by Vinten's expert engineers, it incorporates a patented compact balance mechanism that supports any camera and non-box lens configuration, simplifying equipment specification. 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 makes it an ideal choice for diverse production needs, covering everything from long-lens framing to high-speed tracking with its TF Drag technology.

The Osprey Plus S Pedestal complements the Versine 360 with its fully steerable design, capable of handling payloads up to 155lbs (70kg). Its two-stage construction allows for achieving both high and low shots, with the upper stage perfectly balanced for on-shot tracking of talent. The pedestal features an integral manual pump and an inlet valve for external supply, ensuring easy achievement of Perfect Balance. Additionally, the detachable skid facilitates simple breakdown into two sections for convenient storage and transportation.

For enhanced maneuverability, the Osprey Plus S offers a selector for both single wheel and all-wheel crab steering, making it ideal for tight spaces and on-shot direction changes. The 5" wheels come equipped with adjustable cable guards, ensuring smooth operation in studio environments. The built-in pressure gauge and manual pump further simplify counterbalance setup, while the wheel rim braking mechanism prevents tire flat spots, ensuring super smooth rolling shots.

The system also includes a Broadcast Pan Bar, designed to fit all zoom and focus demand types. Its telescopic design, without grip, allows for clamping of zoom and focus demands, and its shorter length prevents interference with the operator's body during panning. This pan bar is backward compatible with Vision Pan Bar rosettes, offering versatility and ease of use.

With its durable all-metal construction, the Versine 360 is built to withstand the toughest outside broadcasts, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability. Its easy maintenance and robust build quality make it a sound investment for any professional broadcast setup. Whether you're navigating high gantries or handling fast-moving events, the Osprey Plus S 2-Stage Steering Pedestal System with Versine 360 Fluid Head is engineered to deliver superior performance and flexibility for live broadcasts.
