Vinten Breaks New Ground with Revolutionary Compact Robotic Head
London, UK (November 9, 2016) - Vinten, a world leader in robotic camera support systems and a Vitec Group brand, is pleased to announce the new Vinten Vantage will make its North American debut at this year’s NAB Show New York. A ‘Best of Show’ award-winner at IBC 2016, the Vantage is a revolutionary compact robotic head that offers ultimate motion control and unmatched flexibility in the studio while enabling broadcast-quality movement.
“The Vinten Vantage offers all of the capabilities of Vinten’s high-end studio solutions plus it supports the latest professional camcorders from a variety of manufacturers including the Canon C100 or the Sony FS7. We are breaking new ground and offering enhanced image quality and superior motion control at the same price point of the traditional PTZ,” said Neil Gardner, Product Manager for Vinten Automation.
The Vinten Vantage enables high-end moving preset shots and is completely camera and lens agnostic. This revolutionary, new compact robotic head supports a wide range of cameras as well as servo and manual lenses, reducing the need for expensive full servo lenses and enabling broadcast-quality images and high-production values. The Vinten Vantage is a viable alternative to the traditional PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom) camera as it uniquely allows the user to choose the best camera and lens for their application without limitations.
“With the Vinten Vantage, we have created a cost effective solution for smaller, modern-day studios. This compact robotic head is the first product of its kind to offer superior on-air motion and embrace the new wave of small, high-quality cameras and lenses,” said Karen Walker, VP of Camera Supports for Vitec Videocom.
The Vinten Vantage also offers distinct benefits over traditional PTZ cameras including:

The Vinten Vantage also offers distinct benefits over traditional PTZ cameras including:
- Continuous variable speed control and full synchronization of any movement versus a traditional PTZ’s limited set of speeds
- Allows for flexible positioning for any convenient or restrained location while PTZ positioning is dictated by the fixed focal length range of the internal, non–interchangeable lens
