The Versa CXV8 head is designed to accommodate a payload up to 26.4 lb and has 16 steps of counterbalance with CB Plus, a quick release plate with 3.9" of sliding range to balance your rig, a 75mm ball base, an illuminated bubble level, and a fixed length pan handle. The 2-stage telescoping legs are made from durable carbon fiber and have a 23.9 to 66.8" height range, a ground spreader, a 75mm bowl, and a 34.1" transport length.
Miller Versa CXV8 Fluid Head with Pan Handle
The Versa CXV8 Fluid Head with Pan Handle from Miller is designed to accommodate a wide payload range with 16 steps of counterbalance using CB Plus for fine adjustments as well as five selectable pan/drag settings. 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 a DSLR or mirrorless camera, a smaller cinema camera, or a small ENG camcorder. Securing your camera or rig is easy. The sideload quick release plate design enables you to simply drop in your camera without the alignment issues posed by rear-loading variations. The plate offers 3.9" of sliding range to balance your rig.
To survive fast-paced shooting environments, the CXV8 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 CXV8 will perform reliably. The base of the CXV8 is a 75mm ball for mounting to compatible tripods and grip equipment. An illuminated bubble level makes it easy to level the CXV8 in dark environments. A fixed-length pan handle is included, and a second rosette is available for attaching an optional second pan handle.
Miller 75 Sprinter II 2-Stage Carbon Fiber Tripod (Ground Spreader Ready)
The Miller 75 Sprinter II 2-Stage Carbon Fiber Tripod is a quick-setup solution for a tripod head with 75mm ball base. Its lightweight, dual-action flip locks and rigid carbon fiber construction allow for durability without compromising usability in ENG, EFP, and other pro video applications.
Unlike many traditional multistage designs, both flip locks are located on the same section for easy reaching, no matter the height setting. The feet have integrated steel spikes to add stability on rough or uneven terrain. The fast setup is complemented by an in-line carry handle for portability on set or in the field. Compatible ground spreaders, rubber feet, and dollies are available separately.

Miller 470 Ground Spreader for Sprinter II Tripod Legs
The Miller 470 Ground Spreader works with all Sprinter II tripod legs. The spreader features pullover rubber stirrups that securely hold your tripod's feet, holding your legs fast while providing grip on hard surfaces. Once mounted, you can adjust the length of each of the spreader's arms individually as needed without detaching the spreader from the tripod. The spreader's flexible construction enables your tripod to remain stable on flat or uneven terrain. A pull ring in the center of the spreader helps fold the spreader up into your tripod when you close the legs.
