Vinten vision 12 service manual

I've got 4 of their older head from the 70s and 80s that still perform as new - and if I break them, that will be the end - rather sad. July 27th, , AM Chris Soucy. Images: Interesting response, but not to the question asked. The guy wants some info on the head in question. I cannot believe Vinten have simply binned all their files on this stuff.

May I suggest that if Vinten still have files on their old gear, they post it on their web site take your pick for names - "Golden Oldies" perhaps? No, maybe not. It's no skin off Vintens nose whatsoever and would go a long way to keep some of this gear going far into the future. What have you, er, Vinten, got to lose? You have made it clear Vinten will no longer support this stuff, fair enough. Equally, you stand by your gear through thick and thin, as I can bear witness to.

I just can't see why you have to "deny all knowledge" of perfectly good Pro gear that just happens to be past it's sell by date. I think Vinten should re - think their strategy here, and post their complete backlog of info for collectors, avid followers, interested amateurs, broke pro's and yes, even the occasional complete total head job. Do you know, despite an hours trawling the net, not so much as a sausage. Welcome to the club, Kevin. Oh, it's a very small club, we meet in a phone booth.

July 27th, , PM Kevin Spahr. I'd love to go buy a brand tripod system, but I have limited resources at this point - blew my money on an EX3. My old tripods I used with my standard def cameras just don't cut it with the new camera. So I was hoping to get a used set up for now. I have searched the web for info but in this forum I was hoping to get some impressions of this setup and if there is anything I should look out for, etc I would bet Vinten doesn't post info for this head because they don't have the documents in electronic form - that's pretty common for stuff from the 90's.

There is a time when a company just can't afford the cost of making and stocking parts for old equipment and I don't have a problem with that either. That's one of the many reasons old equipment goes cheap. It does amaze me how much old and almost unused equipment is laying around out there, stuff that was expensive in its day. July 27th, , PM Bob Hart. New-in-box old stock. Sadly, more modern stuff may not enjoy the same legacy support in future as middle dealers and resellers choose not maintain stock levels or simply rely on JIT and act as a import agent.

New-in-box is a sort of monument to past practices which came to be deemed inefficient. Back on Vintens - the top deck on the Vinten 22 is a bit weak. The tongue which engages against the wedge plate tends to crack out upwards through the deck. I took one to an aviation welder however he found the cast aluminium was a bit porous and would not take a TIG weld.

It has been welded previously so somebody found a way to do it, but the weld had failed. I am in the throes of making an insert to replace the damaged tongue channel.
