Vinten head on Bogen video head adapter
Has anyone used a Vinten head on a Bogen/Manfrotto video head adapter? I need to know if the Bogen adapter takes the thread from the bolt in the Vinten head? Anyone?
Otherwise have you used a Sachtler head with this config? |

Bit more info............
He means this particular adapter (no, I'm not phsycic, we've been chatting all arvo).
tripods, heads, monopods, light stands, camera supports, lighting supports, professional tripod 325N - ADATTATORE PER SFERA It obviously works with Manfrotto and we've both seen it used with a Sachtler, but the head to adapter attachment means is a mystery. If it requires the head bolt to be retained by means of a threaded nut (standard Manfrotto size), and the Sachtler is identical, then anyone with a Vinten is, er, negatively screwed, so to speak. All input greatfully received. CS |

I can put this topic to rest now. No, it doesn't fit. : (
However (topics springs back to life suddenly), as this is an ongoing mission I would like to know if anyone has a solution to this problem. Could there be another fitting out there besides Manfrotto that accommodates the Vinten head? Sadly I've had to opt for using a non fluid 190C head and probably use it with absolute minimal panning. This can't be the last word surely??!! |
