Q: 3. What are the key differences between this and the FH-145 S2?

Q: 4. Aside from the price what is the difference between this one at $877.50 AND the Vinten Vision blue3 Head (Black) B&H # VIV41060001 MFR # V4106-0001 at $1228.50 ?

A: The difference between the two heads comes down to weight capacity. The the less expensive Vision Blue Pan and Tilt Head can handle 4.6 to 11 lb/2.1 to 5.0 kg while the Vision blue3 Head can handle 6.6 to 14.6 lb/3.0 to 6.6 kg.

Q: 5. I have a PTR-10T Mk II, but am missing the 12V 5A power adapter. How can I purchase one?

A: While the manufacturer does not provide the adapter for sale separately, there are two ways to power the Datavideo PTR-10T Mark II Robotic Pan and Tilt Head (HDBaseT) (B&H# DAPTR10TMKII). The unit will accept a 12VDC barrel input of 3A, although 5A will be needed if power will be drawn from the D-Tap port on the head for the purpose of powering a camera. You may wish to contact the manufacturer regarding their preferred model of adapter: sales@datavideo.com Alternatively, the head will accept Power Over Ethernet (PoE) with the power being fed through the LAN port by a source of PoE such as the TP-Link TL-POE170S PoE++ Injector (Black) (B&H# TPTLPOE170S): https://bhpho.to/3POMj5c

Q: 6. Will i be able to turn on a canon C330 mk ii or a C500 with this head?

Q: 9. Is there a motorized slider this unit is compatible with?

A: Not at this time.

Q: 10. Will the new Canon CN-E 70-200mm T4.4 Compact-Servo Cine Zoom Lens (EF Mount) With this head?

A: The Canon CN-E 70-200mm T4.4 Compact-Servo Cine Zoom Lens (EF Mount) B&H # CAE70200EF is not listed by Vinton as compatible. However the very similar Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 COMPACT-SERVO Cinema Zoom Lens (EF Mount) B&H # CAE1880EF is. It is therefore our opinion that the 70-200mm will work.

[57 lb] Man am I blown away at how great this head is! Vinten's Perfet Balance system really does work as intended and is a real joy to use. It's super easy to rebalance after a lens change and takes no time at all. I've never used a properly counterbalanced head until now...what was I waiting for? Even with a roughly 600mm lens I'm able to attain perfectly smooth, controlled pans with minimal, if any backlash. I doubt tracking people or animals with a telephoto lens would be an issue at all. Just make sure you have a solid tripod! All and all I'm extremely happy with this head and it's sure to last me a very very long time. 5

[57 lb] The counter-balance system works silky smooth. I would recommend this tripod video head to anyone who wants their video pans & tilts to be smooth. 5

[250 VAC, 3.15 A] Worth every penny. This is by far the best Video head I have ever used. Side loading, perfect balance. Buttery smooth pan and tilts. 5

[57 lb] I've owned this head and tripod for a few years now. It's very solid, and about as smooth as any fluid head could be. I've owned others that cost about half or 2/3 as much, but not as good. I've used it in all weather; desert sand and heat, rain, snow, temps down to -30f, wind chills as low as -45. It hasn't skipped a beat. One minor thing... for some reason the pan bar can slip back into the rosette clamp a bit at times. You just have to loosen the clamp, turn and push the bar back in, and re-clamp. Definitely does not affect the operation, so all 5 stars is what I give it. 5
