Vinten engineers have worked closely with camera operators, visiting broadcasts worldwide to truly understand their needs.
The result is a design with extended payload, unique features, and exceptional control, carefully engineered to solve real-world challenges and meet the exacting demands of live television.
Compact and powerful, Versine is perfect for fixed camera positions without large box lenses. Its patented compact balance mechanism supports any camera and non-box lens configuration, including accessories, to make specifying equipment much simpler.
The patented multi-standard base design ensures compatibility with four industry-standard fixings including flat base and 150mm bowl, removing the need to include additional adaptors. Now it’s possible to cover any production with a Vector for box lenses and Versine 360 for everything else.
