Features and benefits of your new Vector 950
The Vector 950 has been specifically designed to meet the exacting demands of camera operators working
with full facility studio and OB cameras. The Vector 950 offers a high level of control with many unique fea-
tures.
• Suitable for a wide range of cameras, from 16-120 kg (35-264.5 lb) at 150 mm (6 in.) C of G and
supplied with a wedge adaptor.
• The unique Perfect Balance system provides infinite adjustment, enabling you to achieve
perfect camera balance throughout the tilt range, regardless of drag setting.
• A retractable adjuster provides extensive camera fore and aft movement so that you can po-
sition the camera easily and perfectly.
• The digital counterbalance display provides an LCD numerical display, indicating the level of
counterbalance chosen to balance the camera. This is particularly useful if you regularly
change your camera, lens, viewfinder or battery combination, as you can quickly 'dial in' the
number that suits that particular combination.
• You can keep up with the action as it happens with the responsive TF Drag control. It pro-
vides a wide range of infinitely adjustable, frictionless drag from very light to extremely
heavy, suitable for operating conditions down to - 40°C and up to + 60°C. The TF drag system
also allows you to pan extremely quickly or "whip pan" from one position to another, recov-
ering instantly without any spring back.
• You can set up easily in low light conditions using the illuminated level bubble and back-lit
display.
• Easy to carry, with an integral, fold-away handle.
Once again, thank you for choosing the Vector 950.
We are confident it will give you many years of reliable
