Vinten Vector 950 Active and Tilt Head

Vinten has developed the Vector 950 Active pan and tilt head System to interface with the Canon Optical Shift Image Stabiliser (""Shift-IS"") technology.

The result is a new stabilisation system for sports and events broadcasts. The Vector 950 Active features integral real-time digital electronic positioning for precise and accurate data, which communicates with the stabilisation systems of Canon'sDIGISUPER100AF and DIGISUPER86AF long-field zoom lenses. The result is that the intuitive and natural motions of the camera operator provide instant and active control of the Shift-IS stabilisation. The Vector 950 Active comes complete with a standard four bolt base, single telescopic pan bar and wedge adapter. It offers an increased capacity of up to 120 kg / 264 lbs providing perfectly balanced tilt.

By combining the characteristics of the TF drag control with infinite perfect balance adjustment, the effort needed to control the effect of a heavy, moving camera payload remains constant, predictable and minimal- not a major distraction. 
The combination of Vinten's Vector 950 Active and Canon's Shift-IS stabilisation is ideally suited for use in sports broadcast and other production.

• Instant, active picture control designed for fast paced HD OB
• Sharp, stable pictures -no trace of lag after pan or tilt movements
• Minimal amount of processing required for final broadcast output
