Introduction and description
The Vision 3AS, 5AS, 8AS and 10AS pan and tilt heads have been designed to support and
perfectly balance a range of professional digital video cameras. The Vision AS pan and tilt head
is equipped with a quick release side-loading camera plate that allows operators to easily and
quickly setup and remove the camera. Levelling the head is achieved using the level bubble that
can be illuminated when setting up at locations with low lighting levels. The placement of the pan
and tilt brakes, drag controls and counter balance allows the operator to easily adjust the
settings whilst operating the camera.
Balance
The AS head provides infinitely adjustable balance, allowing operators to adjust the amount of
counter balance required using the Perfect Balance control (3) located on the right-hand-side of
the head. Maximum and minimum payloads that can be balanced are dependent on the weight
of the camera and accessories fitted, and on the centre of gravity (C of G) height. The balance
graphs (Fig. 8 to Fig. 11) illustrate the range of load and C of G height that can be maintained in
balance.
Pan and tilt drag
Both pan and tilt mechanisms incorporate the patented Vinten lubricated friction (LF) system to
ensure smooth movement of the camera about these axes. The pan and tilt drag is adjusted
using the pan drag control (7) and tilt drag control (11).
Pan and tilt brakes
Both pan and tilt brakes allow each axis on the head to be locked at any chosen position. The
pan brake lever (10) and tilt brake lever (12) are located on the left-hand side of the head.
Illuminated level bubble
An illuminated level bubble (9) is located to the rear of the head on the left-hand side. In
situations of low light, the level bubble can be illuminated by pressing the switch (8) located
underneath the level bubble. The level bubble will be illuminated for approximately 20 seconds.
If longer illumination is required (approximately 40 seconds), press and hold the button until it
flashes once. Pressing the button a second time will switch the illumination off.
The battery for the illuminated level bubble is located in the battery compartment at the front of
the head (1) behind the Vinten label. If the battery level is low, the level bubble illumination will
flash 3 times when switched on.
Camera mounting
The camera is attached to the head using the new side-loading slide plate (16), which allows the
camera to be rapidly setup and removed. The side-loading slide plate (16) is attached to the
camera and then loaded from above into a side-loading clamp mechanism and secured in
English
12
position by the slide plate clamp (13). The slide load release (14) allows rapid removal of the
slide plate (16) from the head by lifting the camera upwards.
The head is supplied with a 1/4 in. screw and pin adaptor to suit most lightweight camcorders
and two 3/8 in. camera mounting screws. When not in use, the 1/4 in. screw and pin adaptor,
and 3/8 in. camera mounting screws can be stored in the camera screw storage compartment
(18) located on the left-hand side of the camera mounting platform.
Pan bar
Pan bar mounting points (6) are located at the rear of the head on either side of the camera
mounting platform. The pan bar (5) is attached using a pan bar clamp (4), with angular
adjustment available on the mount serrations. A fixed pan bar is supplied with the Vision 3AS,
5AS and 8AS heads. A telescopic pan bar is supplied with the Vision 10AS head. A second pan
bar may be fitted on the other side of the head if required.
Field service spares kit
A field service spares kit (V4045-1902), that includes brake levers and a spare battery, is
supplied with all Vision AS pan and tilt heads. See the spares part listing on page 28 for more
information.

Operation
Fitting the pan bar
A single pan bar is supplied and is fitted to either the right or left-hand side of the head onto the
pan bar mounting (6).
To fit the pan bar:
Position the pan bar (5) onto the pan bar mounting (6).
Rotate the pan bar clamp (4) in a clockwise direction until the pan bar is secured.
A second pan bar can be fitted to the other side of the head if required.
Installing the head onto a tripod
The Vision 3AS and 5AS pan and tilt heads are supplied with an integral 75 mm ball mount and
the Vision 8As and 10AS heads have an integral 100 mm ball mount, designed for installation
on a compatible Vinten tripod. Adaptors are available to allow the head to be installed onto
tripods or pedestals fitted with other mountings.
To install the head onto the tripod:
Remove the bowl clamp assembly (2) from the head by turning the assembly in a
counter-clockwise direction.
Position the head on the tripod, carefully lowering the head into the tripod bowl.
Using the pan bar to steady the head, refit the bowl clamp assembly (2) from below the
tripod bowl, turning the bowl clamp assembly (2) in an clockwise direction until the head
is held in position.
Apply the pan brake (10) and tilt brake (12) by turning the levers in a clockwise direction.
Level the head using the level bubble (8) and once level, tighten the bowl clamp
assembly (2) to secure the head in position. When attempting to level the head in
situations where there is low light, the level bubble can be illuminated by pressing the
switch (8) located underneath the level bubble (9). The light will extinguish after
approximately 20 seconds.
CAUTION! DO NOT use force on the brake levers. Hand tighten only.

Mounting the camera using 3/8 in. camera mounting screws
The camera slide plate (16) is secured to the base of the camera using either two 3/8 in. camera
screws or a 1/4 in. screw pin adaptor (also see Mounting the camera using the 1/4 in. screw
and pin adaptor on page 16).
To mount the camera onto the head:
Remove the camera slide plate (16) from the head (Fig. 3). Turn the slide plate clamp
(13) approximately 1/2 a turn in a counter-clockwise direction to release the clamp. Then
push the slide lock release (14) in a forwards direction to release and eject the slide plate
(16). When released, the camera slide plate (16) can be lifted upwards and remo
ved
from the head.

Position the two 3/8 in. camera screws (17) as far apart as possible on the camera slide
plate (16) (Fig. 4).
Attach the camera slide plate (16) to the camera or camera mounting plate
approximately under the centre of the camera's weight.
If not already done, apply both the pan brake (10) and tilt brake (12) by turning the levers
in a clockwise direction.
Lower the camera onto the camera mounting platform (Fig. 5) ensuring that the edge of
the camera slide plate (16) opposite the slide clamp (13) engages first, and then push
downward until the slide clamp ‘snaps’ into position.
Using the pan bar (5) to steady the camera, tighten the slide plate clamp (13) in a
clockwise direction to secure the camera in position.

Attach the camera slide plate (16) to the camera or camera mounting plate
approximately under the centre of the camera's weight.
If not already done, apply both pan brake (10) and tilt brake (12) by turning the levers in
a clockwise direction.
Lower the camera onto the camera mounting platform (Fig. 5) ensuring that the edge of
the camera slide plate (16) opposite the slide clamp (13) engages first, and then push
downward until the slide clamp ‘snaps’ into position.
Using the pan bar (5) to steady the camera, tighten the slide plate clamp (13) in a
clockwise direction to secure the camera in position.
Checking camera balance
A perfectly balanced head allows operators to control camera movement with the minimal
amount of effort. Once balanced, the head and its payload can be set to any tilt position and
remain at that position, allowing operators work hands-free.
Balance graphs (Fig. 8 to Fig. 11) illustrate the relationship between load and Centre of Gravity
(C of G) height for each Vision AS pan and tilt head. The balance graphs can be used to
ascertain the suitability of the head for any given combination of camera, lens and accessories.
The shaded area of graph corresponds to those load/C of G combinations that can be balanced
over the full tilt range. The areas to the right indicate the progressively reducing tilt range with
greater load and higher C of G. Where a load/C of G combination falls outside of the graph it will
be necessary to increase or decrease the weight or the C of G height to enable the head to
balance the load.
Before balancing the head, ensure that the camera and lens, pan bar(s) and all ancillary
equipment has been fitted. The head must be balanced whenever the camera and/or lens is
changed, or when ancillary equipment is added or removed.
CAUTION! DO NOT use force on the brake levers. Hand tighten only.
