Fitting the pan bar
A single pan bar is supplied and is fitted to either the right or left-hand side of the head onto the
pan bar mounting (6).
To fit the pan bar:
Position the pan bar (5) onto the pan bar mounting (6).
Rotate the pan bar clamp (4) in a clockwise direction until the pan bar is secured.
A second pan bar can be fitted to the other side of the head if required.
Installing the head onto a tripod
The Vision 3AS and 5AS pan and tilt heads are supplied with an integral 75 mm ball mount and
the Vision 8As and 10AS heads have an integral 100 mm ball mount, designed for installation
on a compatible Vinten tripod. Adaptors are available to allow the head to be installed onto
tripods or pedestals fitted with other mountings.
To install the head onto the tripod:
Remove the bowl clamp assembly (2) from the head by turning the assembly in a
counter-clockwise direction.
Position the head on the tripod, carefully lowering the head into the tripod bowl.
Using the pan bar to steady the head, refit the bowl clamp assembly (2) from below the
tripod bowl, turning the bowl clamp assembly (2) in an clockwise direction until the head
is held in position.
Apply the pan brake (10) and tilt brake (12) by turning the levers in a clockwise direction.
Level the head using the level bubble (8) and once level, tighten the bowl clamp
assembly (2) to secure the head in position. When attempting to level the head in
situations where there is low light, the level bubble can be illuminated by pressing the
switch (8) located underneath the level bubble (9). The light will extinguish after
approximately 20 seconds.
CAUTION! DO NOT use force on the brake levers. Hand tighten only.
