Used Vinten Vision 11 For AF100 + Scarlet-X

[filmfan222]

Looking to buy a used Vinten Vision 11 from a friend. It's in very good condition, not alot of cosmetic wear.

Im looking for some opinions on this tripod as an "A" tripod for both my AF100 and future Scarlet X.

Weight, build, smooth pans, tilts, thoughts?

Hey David!
Have you owned or used a Vinten 11? Any personal opinion, gripes, etc?

Thanks!

I own 3 Vinton Vision 10LF units which have performed flawlessly for many years.
I posted the manual for the Vision 11 so you could get a better idea of its load range and tilt.

My thoughts... Try it before you buy it to see if it's up to snuff, and if the weight of your rig works well with it.

Good Luck!

Dave

I bought a used vinten vision 11 five years ago and have used it as my main. It will handle alot of weight, but isn't too heavy. But i have always liked vintens, more than sachtlers. And the floor spreaders is kind of pain. Most floor spreaders are. Overall i really like it. How much are they asking for it?
