Miller Unveils Compass
23 Fluid Head And
Cineline 2090 Tripod

Leading camera support company introduces ground-breaking products
to European market...

M

iller Fluid Heads (Europe) Ltd.,
a leader in the production of
innovating camera support solutions, is
debuting two new products at IBC 2015.
The lineup includes the Compass 23
Fluid Head, as well as the Cineline 2090
Tripod System, which will both help to
enhance the creativity of videographers
and cinematographers.

The Compass 23 Fluid Head is an
affordable entry model into the
100mm ball leveling range that is
designed for use with medium size
large sensor cameras to provide
users with the portability, rigidity and
professional features they seek in a
lightweight system. This new head in
the Compass line is designed to handle
shoots, which employ a light rigging
with just a camera and a lens, to a full
rig adding on monitors, wireless mics,
batteries and more where standout
features as pan and tilt
smoothness and multiple
counterbalance selection
are also required. In
addition, the Compass
23 comes with the reliability and "right
feel" that are the hallmarks of every
Miller product.
To accommodate different setups,
the Compass 23 is equipped with
three selectable positions of highperformance drag plus a zero
position and four counterbalance
positions for payloads between
approximately 4-14 kg (8-30
lbs). It also has a 120mm sliding
camera plate with 60mm travel
for perfect balancing. The new
fluid head comes equipped with
readily accessible controls
and
illuminated
bubble
level,
superior
pan/tilt
locks utilising disc brakes
and replaceable tilt end
rosette. The Compass
23 is available as a
separate head or in four
different
prepackaged
system configurations
containing
variants

of tripods and carry

bags,
to
allow
for
further
customisation of
setups.
The Cineline 2090 Tripod
System is a complete tripod
system, which includes a new HD
Mitchell Base 1-Stage Alloy Tripod

and HD Alloy Ground Spreader to
complement the robust Cineline
70 Fluid Head introduced last
year. This new system provides
cinematographers
with
the
stability, plus smooth and
consistent pan and tilts that are
a must, while offering additional
portability all at an aggressive
price point.
The high-capacity leg-lock
system deploying turn-lock
levers with rapid lock/release
action, as well as a heavy duty
base with a built-in bubble
level of heavy duty HD Mitchell
Base 1-Stage Alloy Tripod,
offer a fast and easy setup.
Built with the strength
and torsional rigidity to
take on heavy payloads,
the 2090 tripod system
has a capacity from 4.5
kilograms (9.9 pounds)
to 37.5 kilograms (82.5
pounds),
providing
stability and security
when
supporting
varying
rigging
configurations. Designed for rapid
setup and pull-down, the sturdy
HD Alloy Ground Spreader easily
attaches to the Alloy Tripod and is
optimal for use on flat surfaces.
Constructed of corrosion resistant
alloy, the lightweight Cineline 70
Fluid Head offers advanced precision
fluid drag control with ultra-soft
starts, smooth stops and perfect
diagonal drag transition, as well as
counterbalance systems with "all-inone-location" control layout. It is set to
accommodate industry-leading camera
mountings, including ARRI, Sony, RED,
and Canon, and it also features an
ARRI-compatible, side-loading camera
platform, along with an optional, easyto-fit Mitchell Base Adaptor to suit
traditional Mitchell Flat Base tripods.
Additionally, the fluid head comes
equipped with an extended sliding
range to promote quick and seamless

rebalancing of the rig when lens
and accessory changes result in weight
distributions. As an added bonus, the
fluid head offers dual side mounts for
monitors and accessories, as well as
an assistant's box front mount.
To further expand the options and
capabilities of the Cineline 2090
Tripod System, Miller is showcasing
a number of Cineline accessories that
may be added to customise the system
for specific shooting conditions. All
Miller products, including the Cineline
70 Tripod System, have the right
feel for their users and come with
extensive three-year warranties, as
Miller is confident in the longevity of
its products' reliability and durability.
