6Miller Softcase for 2-Stage Toggle 2 Tripod Systems (Black)
The Miller CX14 Toggle 2-Stage Aluminum Alloy Tripod System with Mid-Level Spreader includes a CX14 fluid head with pan handle, a Toggle 2-stage aluminum alloy tripod with 100mm bowl, a mid-level spreader, and a soft case. The CX14 fluid head supports up to 30.9 pounds and employs CB Plus technology, providing 15+0 positions of counterbalance, 5+0 levels of pan and tilt settings, and 2.4" of camera plate travel.
The head is matched with the 2-stage Toggle II aluminum alloy tripod, and together the system has a height range of 23.7 to 66.6". The included mid-level spreader is well suited for working on uneven or rocky terrain, and allows your tripod to remain stable on such uneven surfaces as stairs. The soft case features a triangular shape and extra-wide opening, and it includes an LW head wrap to protect your tripod. An included shoulder strap helps you carry your tripod system in the bag without occupying your hands.
Miller CX14 Fluid Head
The Miller CX14 Fluid Head is designed to accommodate a wide payload range with 16 steps of counterbalance. The head has a tilt range of +90 to -75°, which allows you to tilt the camera straight down, then nearly straight up. Pan, tilt, and counterbalance can all be set to zero, for totally free movement of the head, often useful for whip pans. The fluid head accommodates cameras and rigs weighing up to 30.9 pounds, more than adequate for use with small cinema cameras with rigs or medium sized ENG camcorders. The sideload plate design enables you to simply drop in your camera from the top without the alignment issues posed by rear-loading variations. The plate offers 2.4" of sliding range to balance your rig.
The CX14 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 CX14 will perform reliably. The base of the CX14 is a removable 100mm ball for mounting to compatible tripods and grip equipment. An illuminated bubble level makes it easy to level the CX14 in dark environments. A fixed length pan handle is included, and an integrated second rosette is available for attaching an optional second pan handle.
With the head mounted level in your tripod legs (not included), you can tilt your camera straight down, and without adjusting the tripod tilt up to nearly straight up and down
The counterbalance settings enable you to tweak the head to neutralize the weight of the camera, so it stays in whatever tilt position you put it in without having to fight against gravity trying to tilt the camera forward or back, or fight against a spring trying to push the camera to level
The pan and tilt axes feature independent locks and drag adjustment
The 100mm ball base provides a wide platform making it easier to balance your camera on the head within the footprint of the head for more stable pan and tilt
The 100mm bowl base is removable, revealing a flat base with a 3/8"-16 threaded hole, well suited for sliders and other flat base applications
Threaded holes on both sides of the heads pan base enable mounting accessory blocks to the head
The unused rosette has a removable cover for protection
Extra camera tie-down screws mount in the top of the camera platform, making them easily available.
Miller 508 Telescopic Above Ground Spreader
The Miller 508 Telescopic Above Ground Spreader is designed for use with the 402 and the 420 2-stage tripods, and allows you to stably setup the tripods on uneven terrains, steps, and slopes. Made of alloy tubes, the sturdy spreader offers durability. The spreader allows you to instantly setup your tripod, holding individual legs at an equal or preset distance. Telescoping spreader arms enable you to further spread the legs hence you don't have to detach the spreader from your tripod for a large area setup.
