The Vinten Quattro SE Encoded Manual Pedestal is a lightweight and compact manually operated pedestal with built-in encoders. It features 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 small doorway width.

To provide the tracking solution, high quality precision encoders have been integrated into the wheels and column. It also includes an electronic module and base processor which deliver the 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. APDA is included to simplify the setup procedure and provide the configuration and 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 further simplifies ease of operation with flexibility on the direction and 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 solutions, the output from the pedestal is integrated with the Vision 250E, Vector 430i, Vector 750i, and Vector 950i head, and lens position is feedback into a single data channel to the rendering system of a virtual software image generator.

Q: 3. Anyone know if this will also work on a Sachtler head? Is the thread size universal between manufacturers? I am looking for a replacement to the really long Sachtler clamping screw that requires too much fumbling around.

A: Unfortunately we are unable to test this combination. Since it is our experience that tie-downs are different between manufacturer's, it is our opinion this will not work in the manner you wish. So that we may find you a solution, please email us with the model of Sachtler you have. provideo@a href= http://bhphoto.com target= _blank bhphoto.com/a

[187 lb (85 kg)] This product is high up there on my list of must haves for quality production. Affordably priced, smooth wheels, and all around great pedestal. Funny sidenote, make sure you read the instructions, as two of our awesome employees took the entire head attachment apart before realizing where the screw holes were... They did however expertly put it back to gether....with the help of a third employee...me. 5

[187 lb (85 kg)] This time it was purchased from Japan. It's more expensive in Japan, so I'm glad that B&H bought it. I would like to recommend it to my acquaintances. I was satisfied with everything from the product itself to the packaging and shipping period. 5
