Add smooth and reliable mobility to your large camera, lens, and teleprompter system with the FP-188+ Pedestal from Vinten. The lightweight but sturdy and agile pedestal boasts responsive acceleration and deceleration for both floor and height movement. Integrating seamlessly with the Vinten VRC system, the FP-188+ can be controlled through sequences, and its noise output is below typical ambient noise in a studio, making the unit virtually silent.

The pedestal is powered for robotic operation but can quickly be switched to manual mode and operated completely without power. You have a choice of operating in crab or steer mode, and the perfectly balanced pneumatic height column offers precise and very smooth manual height adjustment. The repeatable tracking feature ensures accurate and consistent output, and the adjustable sensitivity bumper strip surrounding the pedestal provides additional collision prevention.

Aesthetically designed to complement modern studios, the pedestal can achieve exceptional tracking accuracy for VR/AR applications when paired with an optional FH-155 head with the built-in StarTracker optical camera tracking system, and it will work in manual or robotic mode. StarTracker removes the need for homing operations after initial calibration by providing a drift-free and absolute reference.
