Miller CiNX 3 Overview
The Miller CiNX 3 Fluid Head is designed with a strength-to-size ratio that provides an optimal solution for the supported load capacity of 2.2 to 41.8 lb. The CiNX 3 features a 3/8"-16 threaded flat base and includes a 100mm bowl claw adapter; optional 150mm bowl or Mitchell base adapters from Miller are also supported.
The CiNX 3 head features 16 steps of counterbalance and 6 steps of pan and tilt fluid drag. The drag and counterbalance systems offer progressive and equal increments of drag and torque to ensure ultra-soft starts and stops and balanced diagonal transitions. The pan/tilt controls and a bubble level are all illuminated at the press of an illumination button. The CiNX 3 comes with a GP23A type battery already installed for illumination but supports multiple other types as you will find in the user manual.
For ultimate efficiency with heavy cameras, the CiNX 3 has a sideload camera plate platform with a safety lock, and it comes with an ARRI-type camera plate that can be adjusted approximately 6". It also includes a rosette-mount telescopic pan handle while supporting two in total for dual-handed operation. On the sides, it provides four anti-twist ARRI accessory mounts. The head is made of lightweight yet high-strength die-cast aluminum and rigid composite polymers. It's finished with a durable black ripple and anti-corrosive pretreatment. It also has water- and dust-resistant sealing.
The head also has a very wide operating temperature range of -40 to 149°F.
