Introduction

The Vector 750 pan and tilt head embodies a unique linkage counterbalancing mechanism, thin film (TF)

drag assemblies for pan and tilt motions and an adjustable camera mounting plate.

The balance system is easily adjusted by a knob (15) on the right-hand side of the head. The balance

adjustment control compensates for differing platform load C of G heights by varying the mechanical

advantage of a bell-crank in the counterbalance mechanism.

Both the pan and tilt mechanisms incorporate TF drag systems to ensure smooth movement of the camera

about these axes and are fitted with control knobs (9), (11) to adjust the drag setting. The drag controls are

mounted on the left-hand side of the head. The whip-pan facility is unaffected by the pan drag setting.

Friction brakes on each axis allow the head to be locked at any chosen position. The operating levers for

both brakes (4), (5) are fitted at the right-hand rear of the head. A tilt axis centre lock (16) is provided on

the right-hand side of the head to secure the platform in the horizontal position during transport or load

changing.

A level bubble (8) is fitted to the rear of the head and is provided with a time-delay illumination unit,

operated by a switch (7). The battery for the illumination unit is contained in the base.

Pan bar mounting points (18) are located at the rear of the head, on either side of the camera mounting

platform. A telescopic pan bar is supplied and is attached using a pan bar clamp (10), with angular

adjustment available on the mount serrations. A second pan bar may be fitted, and fixed and short pan bars

are available as optional extras.

The camera is attached to the head by means of a wedge adaptor (1).

Operation

Unpacking

The head is supplied with one pan bar and a battery (fitted) for the level bubble illumination unit.

A second telescopic pan bar or short pan bar for use with a zoom or focus controller are optional. Ensure

that all items are unpacked prior to disposal of the packing materials.

After unpacking ensure that:

The pan and tilt brakes (4), (5) are on (see Pan and tilt brakes on page 10).

The centre lock (16) is engaged (see Locking the platform on page 10). Always engage the

centre lock before lifting or carrying the head.

Mounting the head

CAUTION! Do NOT Lift the head by the platform. Only use the base and/or the carrying handle

to prevent damaging the head.

NOTE: When mounted on Vinten ‘Hawk’ or ‘Teal’ pedestals, clearance between the head and the

pedestal weight tray prevents the use of 5.5 lb (1.6 kg) and 1.0 lb (0.47 kg) trim weights.

Use alternative weights or fit the adaptor plate kit (Part No. 3354-900SP) between the

head and pedestal.

English

8

The head is mounted on a tripod, pedestal or suitable firm surface using the four fixing bolts and washers.

The four bolt fixing holes (19) on the underside of the head are easily located using the bolt hole position

indicators (20). Tighten the bolts with the spanner provided.

After mounting the head, ensure it is level using the level bubble (8), which may be may be illuminated by

pressing the switch (7). The light will go out after approximately 15-seconds.

Pan bars

Fit the pan bars to the head and adjust the position of each one before tightening the clamp (10) on the

mounting (18). Adjust the length of the telescopic pan bars.

Fitting a camera

To fit a camera, proceed as follows:

Lower the mounting to a convenient working height.

If not already fitted, install the wedge adaptor (1) in the middle position on the slide plate (14) (see

Repositioning the wedge adaptor on page 13).

Attach the wedge to the camera/lens.

Ensure that the centre lock (16) is engaged (see Locking the platform on page 10).

Apply the pan brake (4) (see Pan and tilt brakes on page 10)

.

Slide the wedge adaptor operating lever (2) forward (parallel to the wedge) about 6 mm (1/4 in.)

against spring tension. Pull the operating lever out, away from the body of the wedge adaptor, as

far as it will go.

Insert the camera wedge into the wedge adaptor and push it forward into full engagement. Push in

the operating lever (1) until it lies parallel with the wedge adaptor body. During this operation

resistance of the spring-loaded over-centre mechanism will be felt. As the lever reaches the end

of its travel it will slide back (parallel to the wedge) to the locked position.

Confirm that the lever is in the locked position. This is indicated by coloured bands above the lever.

When the green band only is visible, the lever is locked. If any of the red band can be seen, the

lever is not locked.

Install the remainder of the payload (lens, zoom and focus controls, viewfinder, prompter etc.).

WARNING! 1. Only mount this product on equipment designed to support a

minimum of 95 kg (109 lbs.).

2. Before installing the head, hold a fixing bolt in position and check

that the threaded end does not project more than 20 mm (3/4 in.)

above the mounting face.

WARNING! 1. Do NOT rely on the tilt brake when changing the payload. Always

engage the centre lock.

2. Ensure that the weight and C of G height of the total payload is

within the range for which the head is designed: up to 75 kg (167.3 lb)

with C of G height from 80 mm (3 in) to 250 mm (10 in).

English

Balancing the head

Balancing the head consists of positioning the payload fore and aft on the head so that its C of G is

immediately above the platform pivot, then compensating for the payload C of G height using the balance

adjustment knob.

Position the payload fore and aft as follows:

Ensure that the centre lock is engaged (see Locking the platform on page 10) and that the

camera and all accessories are fitted.

Turn the tilt drag adjustment knob (11) to its minimum setting.

Holding the pan bar to steady the platform, disengage the centre lock (see Locking the platform

on page 10).

Push the clamp lever (12) downward to release the slide plate clamp and pull out the slide plate

adjustment knob (13) until it engages with the platform drive. Turn the knob to move the slide plate

fore and aft to achieve horizontal balance.

The horizontal balance is correct when no perceptible tilting force can be felt on the pan bar with

the platform level. Apply the slide plate clamp (12) by pulling the clamp lever upward.

If there is insufficient movement in the slide plate to achieve balance, reposition the wedge adaptor

(see Servicing on page 11), refit the load and repeat the horizontal balancing procedure.

When fore and aft balance has been achieved, adjust the payload C of G height as follows:

Using the pan bar, tilt the platform forward and backward. When correctly balanced, there should

be no perceptible tilting force on the pan bar at any angle of tilt and the head should remain in any

tilt position to which it is set.

If the head tends to fall away when the platform is tilted, push in and turn the balance adjustment

knob (15) clockwise to increase the C of G height setting. If the head tends to spring back to centre,

push in and turn the balance adjustment knob (15) counter-clockwise to decrease the C of G height

setting.

When the payload C of G height adjustment is complete, check that the fore and aft balance

remains satisfactory. Re-adjust the position of the slide plate if necessary.

After balancing, release the brakes and exercise the head through both axes to confirm that it operates

smoothly.

NOTE: It is important that the pan bar(s) and all camera accessories (lens, zoom and focus

controls, viewfinder, prompter etc.) are fitted in their operational position before

balancing the head. Any equipment fitted or adjusted later will unbalance the head.

WARNING! Increase the balance setting (15) for a heavy out-of-balance payload

BEFORE disengaging the centre lock (16), to prevent the platform

tipping violently.

NOTE: The balance adjustment knob is a multi-turn control. To enable the knob to be turned

more easily, slightly tilt the platform using the pan bar whilst turning the knob.

English

10

Locking the platform

(Fig 4)

The centre lock mechanism is operated by a button (16) on the right-hand side of the head. To engage the

lock, hold the platform in the horizontal position and push the button (16) inwards until it latches and the

release catch (17) appears. Use the pan bar to rock the platform slightly whilst pushing the button (16).

To release the centre lock, rock the platform slightly and push down on the release catch (17).

Pan and tilt brakes

The pan and tilt brakes are operated by levers (4), (5) at the rear of the head. They are applied by pulling

the appropriate lever up and back and released by pushing the lever forwards.

The brakes should be applied whenever the camera is left unattended.

Pan and tilt drag

The pan drag adjustment knob (9) is mounted on the left-hand lower part of the main body. Tilt drag is

adjusted by a knob (11) mounted on the face of the tilt drag housing on the left-hand side of the head. The

drag adjustment knobs are graduated from 0 (minimum drag) to 9 (maximum drag).

Turn the knobs clockwise to increase drag and counter-clockwise to decrease drag.

English

11

Servicing

General

The Vector 750 pan and tilt head is robustly made to high engineering standards and little attention is

required to maintain serviceability save regular cleaning.

Routine maintenance on the Vector 750 pan and tilt head is limited to annual replacement of the level

bubble illumination battery. No further routine maintenance is required.

During normal use, check the effectiveness of the platform slide clamp and the adequacy of level bubble

illumination.

Refer to the appropriate section in the Maintenance Manual if any defect is apparent. Adjustments and

repairs should be carried out only by a competent person.

Cleaning

During normal use the only cleaning required should be a regular wipe over with a lint-free cloth. Dirt

accumulated during storage or periods of disuse may be removed with a semi-stiff brush. Particular

attention should be paid to the wedge location faces of the wedge adaptor.

Use out-of-doors under adverse conditions may require special attention, and the head should be covered

when not in use. Salt spray should be washed off using fresh water at the earliest opportunity. Sand and

dirt act as an abrasive and should be removed using a semi-stiff brush or a vacuum cleaner.

Cleaning balance mechanism tracks

The balance mechanism tracks are automatically cleaned by built-in wipers, but after use in particularly

adverse conditions the tracks may require cleaning. Some dismantling of the head is necessary and it is

recommended that this be carried out in clean workshop conditions.

Vertical tracks

(Fig 5)

To clean the vertical tracks it is necessary to remove the platform. Proceed as follows:

Remove the payload (if fitted). It is not necessary to remove the wedge adaptor.

Release the slide plate clamp (12). Use the adjustment knob (13) to wind the slide plate (14)

backwards until it is clear of fixing screws (21).

Level the platform.

Remove six screws (21) securing the platform (22) to the balance mechanism (23). Lift off the

platform.

Using a pipe cleaner (or similar) moistened with an isopropanol-based cleaner (3M VBH or similar),

and clean the two vertical tracks (24). Upwards pressure on the balance mechanism will allow the

area of track under the vertical rollers to be cleaned.

Install the platform (22) on the balance mechanism (23) and secure with six screws (21), using

Loctite 222E.

Using the adjustment knob (13) wind the slide plate forwards to the central position.

Refit the payload (if required) and rebalance the head.

CAUTION!

DO NOT use solvent- or oil-based cleaners, abrasives or wire brushes to remove

accumulations of dirt as these damage the protective surfaces. To clean

mechanical surfaces, use only detergent-based cleaners.

English

12

Horizontal tracks

(Fig 6)

No dismantling is necessary to clean the horizontal tracks. Proceed as follow:

Remove the payload (if fitted).

Set the balance mechanism to its maximum setting by pushing in the knob (15) and turning it

clockwise to its stop.

Tilt the platform fully backwards and apply the tilt brake (5).

Pull down the flap guard (28) to reveal the bevel gear (26). Access to the horizontal tracks (27) is

through the holes in the bevel gear, which may be rotated freely.

Using a pipe cleaner (or similar) moistened with an isopropanol-based cleaner (3M VBH or similar),

clean the two horizontal tracks. Upwards pressure on the balance mechanism will allow the area

of track under the horizontal rollers to be cleaned.

Release the flap guard (28) and the tilt brake (5) and return the platform to the horizontal position.

Refit the payload (if required).

Routine maintenance

Level bubble illumination unit battery replacement

(Fig 7)

The level bubble on the Vector 750 pan and tilt head is illuminated by a battery-powered light-emitting diode

(LED). A time-delay circuit initiated by a switch controls the LED. The battery should be replaced at yearly

intervals or whenever the illumination is considered inadequate.

To install or replace the battery:

Remove three screws (29) which secure the battery compartment cover plate (32) to the head.

Install or replace the battery (30), pushing the connector (31) onto the battery terminals.

Position the battery in the battery compartment, ensuring that the wiring is not trapped.

Refit the battery cover plate (32), ensuring battery locates in cover plate. Secure with three screws

(29).

Press the switch (7) and ensure the lamp is lit for approximately 15-seconds.

Adjustments

After considerable use the platform slide clamp may require adjustment.

To enable the payload to be correctly balanced, the wedge adaptor may require repositioning.

The pan and tilt brakes may require adjustment after considerable use.

NOTE: Dependent on the type of mounting, it may be necessary to remove the head from the

mounting for access to the battery compartment.

English

13

Platform slide clamp adjustment

(Fig 8)

The platform slide clamp (12) should be set so that, in the up or clamped position it prevents the platform

slide from being moved, while in the down or released position it allows free adjustment of the slide. To

adjust the clamp, proceed as follows:

On the left-hand side of the platform, carefully remove the plastic cap (12.2) to reveal the slotted

shaft (12.1).

Pull the slide clamp lever (12) fully upwards.

Slacken the clamp screw (12.3).

Turn the slotted shaft (12.1) fully clockwise to apply the clamp.

Tighten the clamp screw (12.3).

Move the lever over its full range and ensure that, in the clamped position, it prevents the slide from

being moved, while in the released position it allows free adjustment of the slide. Re-adjust if

necessary.

Replace the plastic cap (12.2) over the slotted shaft (12.1).

Repositioning the wedge adaptor

(Fig 9)

The wedge adaptor (1) is secured by four cap head screws (3) which pass through the wedge adaptor into

the slide plate (14).

To reposition the wedge adaptor:

Engage the centre lock (see Locking the platform on page 10) and remove the load.

Hold the body of the wedge adaptor (1) and use a 4 mm hexagon wrench to remove four securing

screws (3).

Reposition the wedge adaptor (1) on the slide plate (14), ensuring that the narrow end of the wedge

adaptor faces forwards.

Insert the four screws (3) in the holes in the wedge adaptor and tighten.

Pan and tilt brake adjustment

(Fig 10)

The pan and tilt brakes should be set so that the brakes begin to be applied after approximately one-third

of the lever travel.

The tilt brake is adjusted by inserting a 2 mm hexagon wrench through the hole (5.2) in the bottom of the

tilt unit cover and turning the grub screw (5.1). To adjust the tilt brake, proceed as follows:

Operate the tilt brake lever (5) from the OFF to the ON position.

If brake pressure is not felt after approximately one-third of the lever travel, turn the grub screw

(5.1) clockwise until this is achieved.

Operate the tilt brake lever (5) to the OFF position and ensure that the platform is free to move.

WARNING! Overlong screws will prevent the slide plate from operating. Always

use the screws provided (M6 x 30 mm).

English

14

The pan brake is adjusted by turning the pin (4.3). To gain access to the pin it is necessary to remove the

payload from the head, remove the head from its mounting and remove a cover plate (4.1) from the

underside of the head. To adjust the pan brake, proceed as follows:

Remove the payload from the head.

Remove the head from its mounting.

On the underside of the head, remove three screws (4.2) securing cover plate (4.1).

Merkmale und Leistungseigenschaften Ihres neuen Vector 750

Der Vector 750 wurde speziell mit Blick auf die hohen Ansprüche von Kameraleuten für die Arbeit mit

umfassend einsetzbaren Studio- und OB-Kameras entwickelt. Der Vector 750 bietet neben einer

hervorragenden Bedienung zahlreiche einzigartige Merkmale.

• Geeignet für eine breite Palette von Kameras, bis zu 75 kg (165,3 lb) mit einem Schwerpunkt

von 80–250 mm (3–10 in.).

• Zum Lieferumfang gehört ein standardmäßiger Keilplattenadapter zum bequemen und siche-

ren Laden.

• Das einzigartige "Perfect Balance"-System bietet eine stufenlose Einstellung, wodurch,

unabhängig von der Dämpfungseinstellung, eine perfekte Kamerabalance über den ge-

samten Neigebereich erzielt werden kann.

• Ein ausziehbarer Einsteller erlaubt eine weitreichende Plattformverschiebung, mit der sich

die Position der Kamera bequem steuern lässt.

• "Schnelle Action" kann dank des Ansprechverhaltens der Dünnfilm-Dämpfungssteuerung

(TF) problemlos "live" verfolgt werden.Der umfangreiche, stufenlos von sehr leicht bis ext-

rem schwer einstellbare Dämpfungsbereich passt sich jedem Wunsch des Anwenders an

und ist auch unter extremen Bedingungen bis zu - 40°C und + 60°C einsetzbar. Das

TF-Dämpfungssystem ermöglicht zudem eine äußerst schnelle Schwenkbewegung, den so

genannten "Reißschwenk", und kehrt sofort danach und mit minimaler Rückfederung in die

Ausgangsstellung zurück.

• Die beleuchtete Nivellierlibelle und die hintergrundbeleuchtete Anzeige auf den Dämpfungs-

einstellern gewährleisten eine bequeme Einstellung auch bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen.

• Zur Standardausstattung gehört ebenfalls ein integrierter Tragegriff zum einfachen

Transport.

Wir bedanken uns noch einmal, dass Sie sich für den Vector 750 entschieden

haben. Wir sind sicher, dass er Ihnen viele Jahre lang verlässliche Leistung

bieten wird.

Wenn Sie Ihr Produkt registrieren, erhalten Sie eine Einjährige Garantieverlängerung und

zusätzlich ein Geschenk in Vinten-Qualität.
