Miller To Present New Compassx
Series At NAB NY
M

iller Camera Support, a leader
in the production of innovative
camera support solutions, will
showcase its new robust CompassX
series at NAB NY 2017.
Designed with speed, balance and
strength as its cornerstone, the new
series of Miller CompassX (CX) fluid
heads offer five models to choose from
- CX2, CX6, CX8, CX10 and the CX18.
The new CX fluid heads incorporate
Miller's
CB
PLUS
enabling
technology, which takes traditional

CompassX CX18

counterbalancing a step forward.
All five models feature 16 positions
of counterbalance for fine, rapid
adjustment and the side loading base
plate enables fast and easy mounting
and alighting of camera rigs. The
inherent wide payload range of the
CompassX series provides maximum
flexibility when switching cameras
or adding accessories. Its robust
construction guarantees a long, low
maintenance service-life and low cost
of ownership.
"Through intensive user research,
the innovative design of the CompassX
series delivers the most flexible and
durable fluid head solution for today's
videographers and their professional
requirements," says Charles Montesin,
Global Sales and Marketing Manager,
Miller Camera Support Equipment.
"After a successful premiere of the
new fluid heads at IBC, we're eager to
present them to the broadcast industry
attending NAB NY."

The CX2 and CX6 boast a payload
range of 0-8kg & 0-12kg, respectively,
16 positions of counterbalance and
3+0 pan-and-tilt drag positions with
a 75mm ball levelling mounting base
for lighter rigs where portability is
important. Where more fluid drag
is required, the CX8 and CX10 both
support 5+0 drag positions, a 0-12kg
payload range and a 75mm and 100mm
ball levelling mounting base. The
models top out with the CX18, which
features a 0-16kg range, 5+0 positions

pan-and-tilt of drag and 100mm ball
levelling mounting base.
While all CX models are designed
for strength and durability, the range
offers standard features to suit most
applications, as well as distinguishing
characteristics to each model. The
set of fluid heads in this five-option
series deliver on Miller's "right feel"
and are backed by a three-year
warranty promise that videographers
and cinematographers have come to
expect.
