Introduction

Spreaders and Dollies are available for use with all Vinten Vision tripods.

Floor spreaders are suitable for the full range of Vision single and two-stage tripods excluding the

Vinten Baby-Legs tripod which has its own dedicated floor spreader.

Lightweight folding ENG and EFP dollies are available in studio and OB versions. All have fast

acting foot-operated wheel brakes and the studio versions are fitted with adjustable cable guards.

In addition, the ENG studio dolly is fitted with track locks to provide tricycle steering.

The spreaders and dollies are detailed in the table on page 4.

Operation

Assembling the dolly

Turn the dolly upside-down, depress the leg locking plungers (14) and pull out each folding leg (7)

until the plungers lock the legs in the open position.

Set the dolly on the ground on its wheels and apply the wheel brakes.

Brakes

Each of the dolly wheels is fitted with a foot operated brake. The brakes are applied by pressing

down on the lever (8) situated above the wheel and released by pressing down on the centre ‘pop-

up’ lever (8.1) which is raised when the brake is on.

Cable guards - studio versions only

The cable guards (6) are height adjustable and should be set as required. Adjustment is carried

out by slackening the knobs (6.1), setting the cable guard at the required height and re-tightening

the knobs.
