Miller DS10 Tripod System Reviews

tripod is great, disliked packaging

I wish this tripod had been packed differently and more sustainably. The product was surrounded by an immense number of packing peanuts.

The DS-10 is absolutely smooth. The panning is incredible for the light weight a DSLR provides. I have a rig that varies between about 8 and 12 lbs and the DS-10 balances it quickly perfectly. The fact that is raises up above my head is really nice too. I mount my SmallHD AC7 to the leg and can easily control the head and tall heights. And it goes down to like 8 inches making it just really flexible. It is a bit heavy though. The carbon fibre version was only a little less in weight and considerably more though. Overall just a really solid tripod/Fluid head and much nicer than my Manfrotto for buttery pans.

Will it be hard to balance this perfectly since it only has two CB settings? Will I be fighting the CB when I tilt?
Asked by: Pino
If you use a camera within its 11 pound capacity it should not be difficult at all.
