Vinten MK-7A Tripod Head

Description

The Vinten MK-7A L.F. Tripod Head (camera head type 3277) is a pan and tilt camera head, designed to support a variety of camera/lens combinations and prompters in perfect balance, over a range of tilt movement.  This is achieved by use of a counterbalancing mechanism which provides a range of balanced movement up to a maximum of +_60 degrees from horizontal. The head uses lubricated friction (LF)mechanism in the pan and tilt axes giving adjustable drag to achieve smooth operation.  Whip movements may be executed through both axes regardless of drag setting.  Both pan and tilt mechanisms are fitted with a brake.

The head is fitted with a sliding platform giving a large range of fore and aft adjustment.  This adjustment can be extended by moving the wedge adaptor to either of two positions on the sliding platform.

Construction is largely of aluminium alloy providing a lightweight, but robust, assembly able to accommodate loads of up to 200lbs (91kg)

The head has a standard flat base and can be mounted on pedestals or any suitable firm surface.
