About the Vinten VB5-FTGS System Vision Blue5 FT GS

The Vinten VB5-FTGS System Vision Blue5 FT GS represents a comprehensive, fully integrated robotic camera solution engineered for the highest echelons of broadcast studio and live event production. This system is built around the flagship Vision Blue5 pan-tilt head, renowned for its exceptional payload capacity, silent operation, and pinpoint accuracy, and is configured here in a complete, ready-to-deploy package. The "FT GS" designation indicates a specific configuration tailored for demanding applications, typically incorporating a heavy-duty tripod or pedestal base, a robust camera cradle, full counterbalance, and the sophisticated electronic control systems required for seamless integration into both manual and automated production environments.

At the core of this system is the Vision Blue5 head's advanced electromagnetic drag and electronic variable counterbalance (eVC) technology, which allows for effortless, precise camera movement and instantaneous payload rebalancing without manual adjustments. This system is designed to handle large broadcast camera packages, including high-end CCD or CMOS cameras, large servo zoom lenses, teleprompters, and ancillary equipment, with stability and smoothness critical for on-air performance. The integration extends to comprehensive control options, from traditional manual operation via a pan bar to full robotic control via Vinten's dedicated console or touchscreen interfaces.

The VB5-FTGS system exemplifies a turnkey approach to high-end camera support, providing broadcasters and production facilities with a unified, calibrated, and performance-guaranteed tool. It addresses the need for reliability, repeatability, and operational flexibility in settings such as network news studios, major live sports coverage, and prestigious entertainment broadcasts. By delivering silky-smooth manual moves, flawless preset recall, and the capacity for complex robotic motion, this system empowers production teams to achieve a cinematic visual standard consistently and reliably, forming a cornerstone of modern high-end broadcast infrastructure.
