Designed for videographers, the Miller CX8 Fluid Head with Toggle 2-Stage Alloy Tripod System offers light overall weight, payload support up to 26.4 pounds, sturdy 2-stage folding design, and an included ground-level spreader. Whether shooting low to the ground or above spectators' heads, the large height range is sure to come in handy. The wide payload range is supported by a 15+0 step counterbalance and five fluid drag positions, plus a zero drag position. See below for more information on the individual parts of this tripod system.
The Miller CX8 Fluid Head is designed to accommodate a wide payload range with 16 steps of counterbalance. Pan, tilt, and counterbalance can all be set to zero, enabling even the lightest of cameras to be supported. Maxed out, this head is rated to support camera setups up to 26.4 pounds, suitable for small cinema cameras with rigs or medium sized ENG camcorders. Securing your camera or rig is easy. The sideload plate design enables you to simply drop in your camera without the alignment issues posed by rear-loading variations. The plate offers 2.4" of sliding range to balance your rig.
To survive fast-paced shooting environments, the CX8 is die-cast from a lightweight, yet durable metal alloy with composite polymers and precision ball-bearings for smooth mechanical operation. Even in harsh conditions, the CX8 will perform reliably. The base of the CX8 is a 75 ball for mounting to compatible tripods and grip equipment. An illuminated bubble level makes it easy to level the CX8 in dark environments. A pan handle with a 15.4" fixed length is included and a second rosette is incorporated for attaching an optional second pan handle.
The Miller Toggle 2-Stage Alloy Tripod is designed to be a compact yet sturdy platform for your 75mm ball-base fluid head. The 2-stage design allows for a large 15.4 to 61.4" height range while maintaining a compact folded length of 27". Each stage features its own rotary clamp for secure locking, enabling support for payloads up to 55 pounds. Compatible spreaders, rubber feet, and dollies are available separately.
A On-Ground Spreader is chosen when shooting is performed on a level surface, such as studio, city streets, offices, sport fields and stadiums. It allows for rapid set-up and pull down by keeping tripod legs at an equal or preset distance relative to each other. Attaches directly to the feet at the bottom of a tripod and its arms are telescopic to allow extension of a tripod leg without detaching the spreader.
The Miller Pan Handle for Compass15 and Compass20 Fluid Heads is a 16mm fixed-length pan arm. The main tube is black-anodized aluminum alloy and features a comfortable rubber grip.
The Miller 554 HD Shoulder Strap is a tripod carry strap designed for the Miller Sprinter series tripods. It is a 2 inch wide strap that works with folded tripods from 25" to 36" and has a 3" long shoulder pad.
