6Miller Arrowx softcase 1 Stage for Sprinter II 1 Stage Tripod Systems (Black)
The Miller CX14 Sprinter II 1-Stage Aluminum Alloy Tripod System with Rubber Feet and Mid-Level Spreader includes a CX14 fluid head with pan handle, a Sprinter II 100mm 1-stage aluminum alloy tripod, a mid-level spreader, a set of three rubber feet, and an Arrowx two-stage soft case. The CX14 fluid head supports up to 30.9 pounds and employs CB Plus technology, providing 15+0 positions of counterbalance and 5+0 levels of pan and tilt settings with 2.4" of camera plate travel.
The head is matched with the 2-stage Sprinter II aluminum alloy tripod and together, the system has a height range of 32.4 to 62.3". The included mid-level spreader is well suited for use when working on uneven terrain, while the included rubber boots cover the tripod legs spikes to protect delicate floors and provide grip on hard or slick surfaces. The soft case has removable back pack straps that allow you to carry the system 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.
