Vinten Osprey Plus S OB 2-Stage Steering Pedestal System with Versine 360 Fluid Head and 6.3" Wheels

When precision and versatility are paramount in outside broadcast applications, the Osprey Plus S OB 2-Stage Steering Pedestal System with Versine 360 Fluid Head and 6.3" Wheels stands as the ultimate solution. Developed in collaboration with leading OB companies, the Versine 360 Fluid Head is engineered for fixed camera positions without the need for box lenses, offering unmatched control and adaptability for live television production.

The Versine 360 Fluid Head is a testament to Vinten's commitment to innovation, featuring a patented compact balance mechanism that supports a wide range of camera and accessory configurations. Its multi-standard base design ensures seamless compatibility with four industry-standard fixings, including flat base and 150mm bowl, eliminating the need for additional adapters. This fluid head excels in providing 'Perfect Balance' for smooth and precise positioning throughout the tilt range, while the 'TF Drag' technology offers superior control at varying speeds, making it ideal for both long-lens framing and high-speed tracking.

Paired with the Osprey Plus S OB pedestal, this system offers unparalleled flexibility and ease of use. The Osprey Plus S OB is a fully steerable pedestal capable of handling payloads up to 155lbs (70kg), featuring two stages for achieving a wide range of shot heights. Its upper stage is perfectly balanced for on-shot tracking, while the integral manual pump and inlet valve facilitate easy counterbalance setup. The pedestal's detachable skid allows for convenient breakdown into two sections, simplifying storage and transportation.

Designed for maneuverability, the Osprey Plus S OB includes a selector for both single wheel and all-wheel crab steering, complemented by 6.3" (16cm) wheels for enhanced ground clearance. The built-in pressure gauge ensures reliable setup, and the wheel rim braking mechanism prevents tire flat spots, ensuring smooth rolling shots. Additionally, the pedestal is equipped with a Quickfix quick release system and an operator storage area, enhancing its practicality in dynamic broadcast environments.

The system also includes a Broadcast Pan Bar, designed to accommodate all zoom and focus demand types. Its telescopic design, without grip, allows for clamping of zoom and focus demands, and its shorter length ensures it does not interfere with the operator during panning. This pan bar is backward compatible with Vision Pan Bar rosettes, further extending its versatility.

Incorporating robust all-metal construction, the Versine 360 Fluid Head and Osprey Plus S OB pedestal are built to withstand the rigors of demanding outside broadcasts, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability. This system not only meets but exceeds the expectations of professional camera operators, offering a comprehensive solution for precise, adaptable, and efficient live broadcasting.
