Introduction and Description

The Vision Ped Plus studio pedestal is a fully-portable pneumatic camera mount, designed to sup-

port a payload of up to 30 kg (66 lb). It comprises a central telescopic column and a skid assembly

with castoring wheels. To facilitate transport, the telescopic column and skid may be separated

and the skid folded.

The telescopic column consists of an outer tube, which locates in the skid and has three struts to

provide the pedestal strength and stability; an elevation tube, which is positioned relative to the

outer tube and defines the working height of the pedestal; and a tank assembly, which forms the

upper, moving part of the pedestal, provides the balancing force for the payload and acts as a

pump for pressurization.

The skid comprises a centre casting with carrying handle, a fixed leg and two folding legs. Each

leg carries a braked castoring wheel and a foot support with strap to support the column. The skid

has 100 mm (4 in.) wheels with cable guards and track locks which provide castor, track or steer

movement of the pedestal.

Operation

Assembling the pedestal

Skid

Turn the skid upside-down, depress the leg locking plungers (13.1) and swing each folding leg

(13) out until the plungers lock the legs in the fully open position.

Set the skid on the ground on its wheels and apply the wheel brakes (9).

(13) (13.1)

Column

Instal the column on the skid as follows:

Fully slacken the skid clamp (11).

Ensure the control valve (2) is set to the WORK position.

Release the Velcro retaining strap (6).

Hold the telescopic column upright with the steering ring (20) uppermost and swing the

three struts (17) up almost to horizontal.

Lift the column assembly by the steering ring and lower it vertically into the skid centre cast-

ing, ensuring bottom clamp knob (18) is aligned with skid handle. Engage the struts (17) on

the foot supports (7).

Secure each strut to the foot support with the rubber strap. Tighten the skid clamp (11), us-

ing moderate hand pressure only.

Secure the Velcro retaining strap (6) clear of the skid wheels.

Pressurizing the pedestal

The Vision Ped Plus pedestal may be pressurized using the built-in pump, by using the Vinten

Portable Pump or from an external pressure source.

Ascertain the payload to be fitted to the pedestal (payload = pan and tilt head, camera, lens and

all ancillary equipment). Referring to the graph, mark the payload on the horizontal axis then strike

a vertical line from the load figure to the balance line. At the intersecting point strike a horizontal

line to the vertical axis and read off the required gas pressure.
