The Miller CX14 Sprinter II 1-Stage Aluminum Alloy Tripod System with Ground Spreader includes a CX14 fluid head with pan handle, a Sprinter II 100mm 1-stage tripod, a ground spreader, and an Arrowx soft case. The 30.9 lb capacity CX14 fluid head employs CB Plus technology, providing 15+0 positions of counterbalance, 5+0 levels of pan and tilt, and 2.4" of camera plate travel.
The head is matched with the 1-stage Sprinter II aluminum alloy tripod and together the system has a height range of 32.4 to 62.3", The included ground spreader folds up neatly inside the legs and can protect delicate floors from the tripod's foot spikes as well as provide grip on hard or slick surfaces. The soft case has removable backpack straps that allow you to carry the system without occupying your hands.
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.
Miller Sprinter II 1-Stage Alloy Tripod (Ground Spreader Ready)
The Miller Sprinter II 1-Stage Alloy Tripod is a quick-setup solution for a tripod head with 100mm ball base. Its light weight, flip-locks, and rigid construction allow for durability without compromising usability in ENG, EFP, and other pro video applications. The fast setup is complemented by an in-line carry handle, for portability on set or in the field. Compatible spreaders, rubber feet, and dollys 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.
