Vinten Vision 20 head - NEED INFO

[alphaville]

Hi,
I just purchased an used Vinten Vision 20 head w/o plate and handle, I am kindly asking for current Vinten camera plate product numbers that match this head, the handle product number (is it compatible with the Vision 250 handles) etc. Also a service manual (the lack thereof on Vinten website is strange) and any tech data besides loading capacity and weight. Virtually NO info on the internet...

Thanks!!!

Have you tried contacting Vinten? If they don't have legacy manuals it means they don't support the model anymore as indicated by a Vinten employee in this thread:

So you might have trouble finding a baseplate. I know Frank Glencairn on here uses one so he can probably help, if worst comes to the worst you could probably get a baseplate fabricated. I see handles to suit the Vinten 20 come up on ebay from time to time.

Send me a PM if you are still looking, I might have a couple Vinten plates stashed somewhere from when I had one.
