About the Vinten VB3-FTMS System Vision Blue3 FT MS

The Vinten VB3-FTMS System, known as the Vision Blue3 FT MS, is a fully integrated professional camera support package tailored for robust field production and electronic news gathering (ENG). This system combines the highly regarded Vision Blue3 fluid head with a durable field tripod (FT) and a mid-level spreader (MS), creating a cohesive and reliable kit ready for immediate deployment in challenging environments. The Vision Blue3 head is the centerpiece, offering broadcast-quality fluid dampening for exceptionally smooth pan and tilt movements. It features an adjustable counterbalance system to perfectly match the weight of mid-sized ENG/EFP cameras, along with independently adjustable drag controls, allowing camera operators to fine-tune the resistance for precise control whether shooting fast-paced action or slow, deliberate sequences.

The field tripod component is built for stability and speed, typically constructed from lightweight yet strong aluminum or carbon fiber, featuring positive cam-lock leg mechanisms for quick and secure height adjustment. The inclusion of a mid-level spreader (MS) is critical for field use, as it locks the tripod legs at an optimal spread angle, preventing splay and creating a rigid, triangular base that dramatically enhances overall stability, especially on uneven ground. This combination ensures the camera platform remains rock-steady, dampening vibrations and providing the operator with the confidence to execute smooth shots. The entire system is designed for portability, often coming with a fitted carrying case for easy transport to and from location shoots.

This all-in-one VB3-FTMS package is engineered for the working professional who cannot compromise on performance or setup time. It eliminates the guesswork of component compatibility, providing a proven combination of head and legs that work seamlessly together. Ideal for news crews, documentary filmmakers, and corporate video teams, the system offers the perfect balance of operational flexibility, mechanical reliability, and professional-grade performance, ensuring camera operators have a trusted foundation to capture high-quality, stable footage in any field condition.
