About the Vinten VB-FTGS System Vision Blue FT GS

The Vinten VB-FTGS System, designated as the Vision Blue FT GS, is a comprehensive and professionally curated camera support package designed for robust field production and electronic news gathering (ENG). This system seamlessly integrates the highly regarded Vision Blue fluid head with a durable field tripod (FT) and a ground-level spreader (GS), creating a ready-to-deploy kit that balances performance, stability, and portability. The Vision Blue head is the operational core, providing broadcast-quality fluid dampening for smooth and precise pan and tilt movements. It features an adjustable counterbalance system to accommodate a range of mid-weight ENG/EFP cameras, along with independent drag controls that allow camera operators to fine-tune the resistance for optimal control, whether executing slow, deliberate pans or quickly reframing fast-moving subjects.

The field tripod component is engineered for resilience and quick setup in demanding outdoor and location environments. Constructed from lightweight yet strong materials like aluminum, it typically features positive cam-lock leg mechanisms for secure and rapid height adjustment. The inclusion of a ground-level spreader (GS) is a critical feature for field stability; unlike a mid-level spreader, the GS connects the tripod feet directly at ground level, preventing leg splay on uneven, soft, or slippery surfaces such as grass, sand, or wet pavement. This ensures a solid, immovable foundation that is essential for achieving steady shots in unpredictable field conditions. The entire system is designed for efficiency, allowing a single operator to quickly establish a stable, professional shooting platform.

This all-in-one VB-FTGS package is engineered for the working professional who requires reliability and speed without sacrificing performance. It eliminates the complexity of sourcing compatible components, providing a professionally matched system that guarantees optimal interaction between the head and support. Ideal for news crews, documentary filmmakers, and corporate video teams operating in the field, this system offers a trusted solution for capturing high-quality, stable footage. By combining a versatile fluid head with a field-optimized tripod and ground spreader, Vinten delivers a turnkey solution that empowers camera operators to work confidently and effectively in any location.
