Duplicate of Vinten HP 419 l Camera Pedestal. This was the industry standard pedestal until the introduction of the Vinten Fulmar, which is still in use today (April 2002) The initial eight pedestals were delivered to the BBC at a price of £800 each. This was below the development costs, but Vinten reaped the benefit because forty years later they're still selling the descendants of the old HP 419. The classic HP 419 three-stage hydro-pneumatic pedestal balanced on compressed nitrogen. the first two examples (with tillers only - no central steering wheel) were delivered to the BBC in 1956 and installed in Studio E at Lime Grove where they carried heavyweight cameras.
