Hey man, I'm running a Vinten Pro 5, with single stage sticks. All I can say is it's amazing. Vinten seems to have thought of everything with it. Every little thing that you can think of to make things easier for us camera guys is on it. I HIGHTLY recommend it. Take a look at this video, sort of explains a bit about the tripod. Its the first one in the video... Vinten Pro-5 Video... Vinten's Website

Really cool photo. Good POD. Is this an HDR? Or is it photoshopped?

Yes sir!

Awesome! See you their buddy.

Yep, thats his bike. Shoot him an e-mail at dexter@faultline.tv if your interested in buying. Its a really nice ride. Just go ahead and offer him.

Thank you, it's actually with a 14-24mm f/2.8

Omg thats amazing. Thats going in my favs. So many props to the photographer for capturing this one...

Thanks, and you can visit WWW.FAULTLINE.TV for more pictures videos and info!

Ya Mike! Infront of the lense finally. Stoked that all that line scouting payed off. We need to get some more trails down next year. Goats? Move on to the bottom part of In Deep now too?

We started filming last year. But you have to come to the Camp of Champions. I don't film with SGC, if thats what your talking about.

Except for how you get to ride the trails from 10 - 5 and then hit the foam from 6-8!! And Fault Line TV will be their filming you!

A couple weeks ago now.

is that me?

Really sweet photo guys.

Ya but it looks amazing. Love it. Props.

lol YOU obviously havent done any field work with the new boxxers

The Vinten legs have a max load of 55 pounds, the Manfrotto is 33. The Vinten uses whats called Pozi Loc technology. It's like leg clamps on other tripods, except their design is just a switch, theirs no clamping. You turn the knob and it clicks. Much easier on the hands I might add, no need to keep tightening. The Vintens are also lighter and higher quality.

I have a 35mm adapter in my house right now actually. Just waiting on a step ring, and a canon 50mm lense.

I did look into Manfrotto's. I looked into a 501hdv head and 525MVB sticks. Manfrotto and Vinten are both owned by the same company (Vitec), therefore the 501 head is exactly the same as this Pro5 head. This head actually came in a box with a Manfrotto label. However the Vinten sticks are much better than the Manfrottos. That is why I chose this system.

It would cost you about $1000USD, depending on where you got it. It is a Vinten ProTouch 5. It's already amazing and I highly recommend it. And I am stoked to do some real mtb filming with it. It hasn't gotten it's chance yet. The video thats coming out in a few hours wasn't filmed with it. Their will then be a pause for a couple months, and then.. ohhhhhhh and then. Lol. Should be good. Thanks for the question. -ep

Exactly it. Angle alluminum, and rollerblade wheels (better) to be exact.

The HPX is doing amazing. Its litterally bombproof. Probably on the top of my list out of the camera's I've used. Highly recommended.

Renegade. It's a short single track trail off of Sidetrack. Super sick!

He's in Whistler, and head coach at Camp Of Champions. Super fun guy to be around.

it is a size medium.

No uni's at Fault Line! Haha, just his hair coming down over the middle of his face!

2008 Team DH I do believe, in black.

This photo was taken with a D40. Other guys in the FL Crew have a D80 and a D3. Our movie camera is a Panasonic HPX170.

old photo's from last spring whne i bought it

yes its dexter robsons bike.

end of the season

hoping to grab a 2010 team dh for the winter.

excuse me?

Ahh okay. Well thats mybad dude. Glad you like the photo! And yes, it is true some trails have way gnarlier sections. And Dash14.. You should go out and build some epic trails! Then link us the pics. I'd be stoked to see! -ep

But our photos and videos aren't about what you've raced on. They are about the trails that we ride, the places we go and the fun we have while were their.
