Introduction and Description

The Vision Ped Plus studio pedestal is a fully-portable pneumatic camera mount, designed to sup-
port a payload of up to 30 kg (66 lb). It comprises a central telescopic column and a skid assembly
with castoring wheels. To facilitate transport, the telescopic column and skid may be separated
and the skid folded.
The telescopic column consists of an outer tube, which locates in the skid and has three struts to
provide the pedestal strength and stability; an elevation tube, which is positioned relative to the
outer tube and defines the working height of the pedestal; and a tank assembly, which forms the
upper, moving part of the pedestal, provides the balancing force for the payload and acts as a
pump for pressurization.
The skid comprises a centre casting with carrying handle, a fixed leg and two folding legs. Each
leg carries a braked castoring wheel and a foot support with strap to support the column. The skid
has 100 mm (4 in.) wheels with cable guards and track locks which provide castor, track or steer
movement of the pedestal.
