Vinten FE-165 Light Robotic Elevation Unit with Fusion FH-145 Robotic and Manual Head

FE-165 Light

The Vinten FE-165 Elevation Unit offers class-leading on-air height control for both large fully automated, and small production studios.

The elevation unit leverages the column construction of the popular FP-188+ robotic pedestal paired with a bespoke drive and transmission design. Every shot is captured with a high level of accuracy.

The FE-165 features a smooth s-ramping movement profile for superior start/stop motion control that’s perfect for on-air transitions. Its wide height range and impressive speed allow fast, creative transition between high and low positions, while the ultra-smooth slow movement ensures precise shot trimming. In addition, the FE-165 can be upgraded for virtual reality capability to offer even more flexibility.

The FE-165 Light offers a cost effective robotic only solution that can be combined with the FHR-155 robotic only head.

Designed to ensure simple integration, the FE-165 works on standard IP networks and features an internal power supply which allows direct connection with the mains. It supports large camera packages up to 75 kg (165 lbs), offering a full broadcast solution for a competitive price.

Fusion FH-145

The Fusion FH-145 Robotic and Manual Head from Vinten incorporates Intelligent Control Engineering (ICE) to help the head deliver unprecedented control and accuracy in a compact form. It has no external PSU or lens drives and is simple to set up, operate, and use. Designed to support typical camera and lens packages up to 145 lb, the FH-145 provides broadcasters with a flexible yet simple solution. This head features two modes of operations—manual and robotic. Manual or robotic modes facilitate the switch between freeform or pre-programmed show format. The drag system delivers broadcast quality manual operation.
