The Vinten FE-165 Elevation Unit offers class-leading on-air height control for both large fully automated, and small production studios.
The elevation unit leverages the column construction of the popular FP-188+ robotic pedestal paired with a bespoke drive and transmission design. Every shot is captured with a high level of accuracy.
The FE-165 features a smooth s-ramping movement profile for superior start/stop motion control that’s perfect for on-air transitions. Its wide height range and impressive speed allow fast, creative transition between high and low positions, while the ultra-smooth slow movement ensures precise shot trimming. In addition, the FE-165 can be upgraded for virtual reality capability to offer even more flexibility.
The FE-165 Elite has both robotic and local control functionality. When in local control mode, the elevation unit is operated using a pan bar mounted height controller. Combined with an FH-155 manual and robotic head, the FE-165 Elite allows a camera operator to raise and lower the column whilst manually controlling the head. A cable management net is supplied with the unit, which will fit between the legs to suspend the cables above the studio floor.
Designed to ensure simple integration, the FE-165 works on standard IP networks and features an internal power supply which allows direct connection with the mains. It supports large camera packages up to 75 kg (165 lbs), offering a full broadcast solution for a competitive price.
