Vinten Osprey Light Pedestal Mode D'emploi page 15

English
Introduction
The Osprey Light pedestal is a fully-portable pneumatic camera mount, designed to support a payload of
up to 40 kg (88 lb). It is available in OB and Studio versions.
The pedestal has a central single-stage telescopic column, supported on a skid assembly with crabbing
wheel steering. To facilitate transport, the telescopic column and skid may be separated and the skid fold-
ed.
The pedestal may be pressurized using the built-in pump, Vinten Portable Pump or an external pressure
source. The pedestal is equipped with a relief valve to prevent an excessive build-up of pneumatic pressure
and with a safety catch to prevent accidental operation of the telescopic column. The pressure relief valve
operates at the predetermined level and automatically resets at a designated level below this.
The skid assembly comprises a centre casting, three equispaced skid legs and three braked wheels. The
OB version has 12.5 cm (5 in.) wheels, the Studio version 10 cm (4 in.) wheels fitted with cable guards.
