Vinten 3880-3 Aluminum EFP Tripod System with Versine 240 Fluid Head and Dolly

Optimized for electronic field production, this Vinten 3880-3 Aluminum EFP Tripod System includes a 3880-3 tripod with three-section aluminum legs, a Versine 240 fluid head, and a folding EFP dolly. When assembled, the camera-mounting system supports up to 53 lb, has a working height range of 35.3 to 76.6", weighs 43.8 lb, and folds down to a length of 36.9".

The Vinten 3880-3 Two-Stage Aluminum Pozi-Loc EFP Tripod with 100mm bowl is an industrial-grade tripod designed for use with the Vision 250 head. With its superior stability and durability, this tripod supports up to 220 lb, and it is the ideal choice for professional camera shoots, in particular cases involving longer lenses and larger viewfinders. This tripod is also available as a complete kit with the Vision 250 head and other components.

Highlighting this tripod is Vinten's unique Pozi-Loc mechanism, an innovative cam-operated clamping system that offers easy 90° on-to-off turning while providing a visual indication that the tripod is securely fastened. This tripod offers an adjustable height from a maximum of 61.9" to a minimum of 20.5" (with an optional spreader). The tripod accepts either a floor or mid-level spreader as an option. Also available separately are a set of three anti-skid rubber feet that can be used as an alternative to the tripod's native spiked feet, for greater stability on wet or glossy floors.

Strong anodized tubular alloy, thermoplastic moldings, and die-cast construction provides the strongest and most durable material for demanding applications.

Tripod rigidity is a vital factor in achieving smooth camera movement and first-class picture quality. The Vision range of tripods are unique in giving maximum torsion rigidity throughout the height range by combining a "perfect" triangular structure with the most innovative design features.

The advanced Pozi-Loc, Vinten's innovative cam-operated clamping system, ensures tripod reliability and safety, and its positive action shows clearly when the tripod is locked.

Combining strength and mobility with a professional feature set, the Versine 240 Fluid Head from Vinten supports rigs up to 53 lb while weighing only 10.3 lb when fully equipped. Engineered for roaming production setups, the Versine 240 is compact yet capable, offering ±90° tilt, independent TF30 pan and tilt drag adjustment, and a continuous counterbalance for smooth, precise control at any angle. Its lightweight magnesium chassis, all-metal construction, and illuminated operator-side controls make it equally suited for news gathering, sports coverage, or live event broadcasting.

With a 100mm half ball base and sliding quick release plate, the Versine 240 ensures secure, versatile mounting for a wide range of cameras and lenses, including heavy 40x zoom systems. Three rosette mounts offer flexible attachment of the included pan handle and other accessories, while the integrated illuminated bubble level simplifies alignment in fluctuating environments. Compact, durable, and designed for years of consistent performance, the Versine 240 Fluid Head delivers the responsiveness and balance needed for demanding, fast-paced video production.
