Any Vinten personnel here?

[Huy Vu]

I'm seriously looking at the Vinten Vision 3 head but I would really need to try it out before I buy. I have try contacting some vinten distributor in my area and none of them have a demo unit that I can try out. Is there anyone who works for vinten on this board who would be able to work with me to arrange a demo unit? Or if someone here can point me to someone that I can contact at vinten that would be great as well. Thanks!

To be honest I think of this head as a side-grade from the Sachtler you were using, rather than an upgrade.

Thought about paying $75 for a rental to try it?

I have a new rig now that requires a head with higher load capacity. Also I was never able to balance my camera rig precisely on my Sachtler due to the lack of continuous counter balance feature. I would consider a rental if you can point me to a rental house with that head.
