This head is part of the flagship Vector series, renowned for its exceptional smoothness, precision, and load capacity. It is engineered with a flat base mounting system, providing a secure and rigid interface for direct attachment to pedestals, tripods, or other support structures that utilize a standard four-bolt flat base pattern.

This allows camera operators to achieve perfect balance effortlessly, eliminating tilt creep and enabling silky-smooth tilt movements with minimal physical effort. The head's ergonomic controls are intuitively placed, with large, tactile dials for drag adjustment and a positive locking mechanism for the tilt axis, facilitating quick setup and precise control during high-pressure live broadcasts.

Constructed from high-grade materials including magnesium alloy for strength and lightness, the Vector 950 Flat Base is designed for durability and reliability in 24/7 broadcast environments. Its flat base design ensures maximum stability and weight distribution when mounted to heavy-duty studio pedestals. With its combination of immense load capacity, impeccable balance, flawless fluid motion, and robust construction, the Vinten Vector 950 Flat Base head represents the pinnacle of broadcast camera support technology, trusted by major networks and production facilities worldwide for critical studio and OB operations.
