3 x Vinten Mk 3A pan-tilt heads. (BBC Number in brackets): 506-1523(28827); 390(28828); 1182(28829).

The Vinten Mk 3A Pan and Tilt head used risers and cams to maintain the centre of gravity. This made the tilting of heavy cameras relatively easy. Correctly mounted, a camera could be left at any tilt angle without lock off.
