The 3786 Miller bundle features the 100mm ball base CX14 Fluid Head and the Solo-Q 100 2 Stage Carbon Fiber Tripod, which has a lightweight and user-friendly design for the single-camera operator who frequently changes setups on the go. The kit also includes a soft case made with a ballistic nylon shell and hard-plastic skid pads.
The head supports 0 to 30.9 lb and has a sliding sideload plate. It offers 16 steps of counterbalance and 5-step pan/tilt drag plus zero.
The tripod provides a wide height range from a very low 9.5 to 64.2". It has twist locks, adjustable leg angles, and spiked and rubber feet.
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 Solo-Q 100 Carbon Fiber 2-Stage Tripod (100mm Bowl)
The Miller Solo-Q 100 Carbon Fiber 2-Stage Tripod is designed to provide a fast, light, and sturdy support platform for the single camera operator that needs to be able to move positions quickly. The legs feature a lightweight carbon fiber and magnesium design that achieves high torsional rigidity and rock-solid stability with a maximum payload of 66 lb. Boasting an extensive 9.5 to 64.2" height range, this two-stage, four-section tripod collapses down to a compact 27.6" for transport. The Solo-Q 100 features a 100mm bowl to fit standard 100mm heads.
The base of each leg features a spike to help on uneven terrain, and rubber feet can screw down to cover the spikes for use on smoother surfaces. Each joint locks using the quick twist-lock system, making setup and breakdown easy. Designed for videography on the run, the Solo-Q 100 is ultra-light and versatile, utilizing individual leg-angle locking to eliminate the need for a spreader, reducing overall system weight and complexity. The neoprene leg protectors and included carry strap help make adjustment and transport comfortable and simple.
