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.
