The Miller CX8 SOLO-Q 75 3-Stage Tripod is a compact and lightweight tripod system that brings smooth yet precise pan and tilt control to cameras and rigs weighing up to 26.4 pounds. It features the CX8 fluid head, carbon fiber legs, a carry strap, and a tripod bag for storing and carrying all your gear.
The head features a sliding balance plate, independent pan and tilt locks, five steps of pan and tilt drag, 15 steps plus a zero setting of counterbalance for fine-tuning the head's operation, a precision bubble level, and an integral 75mm ball for leveling. The included Solo carbon fiber legs feature three stages, providing a height range of 15.7 to 80.7", while selectable leg angle locks ensure rapid setup and excellent stability without a spreader. The 75mm bowl allows for quick leveling, optimum torsional rigidity, and long-term durability.
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, adequate 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 75mm ball for mounting to compatible tripods and grip equipment. An illuminated bubble level makes it easy to level the CX8 in dark environments. A fixed length pan handle is included, and a second rosette is available for attaching an optional second pan handle.
