New

Tracking Bar

Vinten Broadcast, Inc., manu¬
facturers of the widest range of camera

mountings in the world, has introduced
the Pro-Touch Multiglider VF15, a fully
counterbalanced tracking bar
The 2 meter long Multiglider VF15 sits

atop its own tripod, and can be set at a
range of angles, from horizontal to ver¬
tical. This permits simple set-up for a
wide range

of camera moves from a
straightforward tracking shot to very so¬
phisticated camera moves limited only
by the cameraman's imagination.
The unit is fitted with a
lOOmm leveling bowl ideally suited to
Vinten's wide range of Vision lightweight
pan and tilt heads, and can be very rap¬
idly erected on location. The Multiglider
is particularly suited to ENG video cam¬
eras or 16mm film cameras. An addi¬
tional model for heavier cameras is
slated for production later in the year.
