The Vinten Quattro SE VRI Box Vector 750i Pan Tilt Headfrom Vinten Quattro SE VRI Box Vector 750i Pan Tilt Headis a pedestal system which includes a Quattro SE Encoded Manual Pedestal, a Virtual Reality Interface (VRI) Box, and a Vector 750i Pan and Tilt Head, as well as a Telescopic Pan Bar and Clamp, a VRI Mounting Kit, a Standard Wedge, and a Pan Bar Mounted PDA user interface.

The Quattro SE pedestal is a compact, manually operated pedestal with built-in encoders. It offers a combination of simplified homing and setup procedures, precise digital electronic positioning, and on-shot performance for use in virtual studios. The pedestal features an ergonomically assisted lifting column and a small doorway width.

To enable tracking, high-quality precision encoders have been integrated into the wheels and column of the Quattro SS. The pedestal also incorporates an electronic module and base processor which deliver accurate position data for all axes. This combination with the head information provides precise real-time digital electronic positioning over the floor and in elevation. A PDA is included to simplify the setup procedure and provide the configuration and the operator's user interface. This is delivered through various calibration routines, head setup, and optical axis offset input, whilst also providing the operator with enhanced functionality such as quick homing and virtual set trimming. The homing procedure has been further simplified to provide ease of operation, flexibility of direction & angle of approach, and a fast targeting option.

A cable management system is incorporated into the pedestal to prevent the cable being caught or tangled during repositioning. To simplify virtual tracking, the output from the pedestal is integrated with the Vector 750i head, and lens position is fed back into a single data channel to the rendering system of a virtual software image generator.

The Vector 750i Pan and Tilt Head is a pantographic head that supports a load capacity of up to 165.3 lb and allows semi-automatic setup, slide plate tracking, and kinematic compensation. The head ensures stable and accurate placement of virtual graphics into the live environment. The Vector 750i Pan and Tilt Head can be used with large camera combinations involving virtual reality, both in outside broadcast and in the studio.

The VRI Box processes the positional data from the head encoders. It offers direct interfacing to lenses with encoder outputs (or bolt on lens encoders), to enable single data streaming to a graphics rendering system. The VRI box comes with a head interface cable, GUI, and mounting brackets. Mounted on the Quattro SE it provides full six-axis tracking. The Quattro software enables re-configuring to give X, Y, and Z axis VR movement.

Q: 3. Does this head actually tilt up to 90 degrees? Its photo shows the thread mark up to 90 but the hole doesn't seem to go far as 90 but stops around 75 in both directions. Just wanting to make sure since I need the head to tilt up to 90 degrees.

A: Yes it does tilt 90% in both directions and the head will rotate a full 360% if you tilt 90% with the camera for portrait orientation on a tripod or monopod you cannot tilt the camera up or down,,,,if you set up the camera to tilt up or down with the 90% now you cannot tilt 90% for portrait orientation,,,,not as versatile as a ball head and as I have mine on a monopod not a tripod and i have my camera on the head set up for 90% for portrait shooting i just tilt my monopod forward or back for up and down shooting..

Q: 4. Will this head allow me to shoot portrait mode?

A: Yes, it does! It has an adjustable plate, which allows you to rotate 90 degrees, and hence move your camera from landscape to portrait mode, without putting your quick release plate on sideways. It's one of the major upgrades from the L-10

Q: 5. How stable it is? I use some Bescor MP-101 but they are very sensitive to floor vibrations (wobbly)?

A: This one would be somewhat less sensitive to floor vibrations.

Q: 6. What are the key differences between this and the FH-145 S2?

A: The S1 has one drag level with settings, The S2 has a total of three levels with settings.

Q: 7. Does the included quick release plate attach to the camera? Also, when the unit is in the vertical position, does the D810 go below the bottom of the unit? What is the distance of clearance if it does not?

A: I just purchased this pan head for my mono pod. I love it. As a matter of fact I liked it so much I just purchased another one for a gift for a friend. The quick release plate that comes with the unit attaches to the camera. It tilts and adjusts very smoothly.

Q: 8. Can the clamp be replaced with an Arca Swiss clamp?

Q: 10. Can the dimensions of this Proaim gold head accept the BMD URSA Broadcast G2 Camera with Fujinon 8.5-170mm Digital Servo Lens?

A: The Proaim Gold Pan/Tilt Head width is 20cm (7.874 inches). The payload weight is 16lbs. The URSA Broadcast G2 is 5.9 inches wide and 9 inches tall with the handle attached. The handle can be removed to make the camera more compact when used on the head. The URSA weight is 7.83 lb. The Fujinon 8.5-170mm should be 3.26 lbs. The total payload of the camera and lens would be about 11lbs and keep you under the payload weight of 16lbs for the PTZ head.
