About Miller Skyline 90

After extensive research and development, the Skyline 90 Fluid Head emerges as a professional-grade, heavy-duty head engineered to excel in the demanding environments of outside broadcast productions. This high-quality fluid head is the epitome of reliability, offering a seamless setup process that caters to the needs of seasoned professionals in the field of videography and photography.

Crafted with precision, the Skyline 90 Fluid Head boasts a robust design that ensures smooth pan, tilt, and diagonal movements, enhancing the creative control of the user. Its ergonomic construction is tailored to reduce operator fatigue and increase efficiency during prolonged shooting sessions.

The standout feature of the Skyline 90 is its continuous counterbalance control, which ranges from zero to an impressive 165 lbs (75 kg) at 12 inches (30 cm) above the center tilt axis. This allows for perfect balancing of a wide array of camera setups, from lightweight DSLRs to heavy-duty broadcast cameras with large box lenses. The versatility of this fluid head is further amplified by its 15+0 selectable fluid pan-tilt drag positions, providing cinematographers with the flexibility to fine-tune the drag resistance according to the specific requirements of each shot and lens focal length.

For those who prioritize precision and stability, the Skyline 90 Fluid Head features a sliding platform with an extensive 300mm range, enabling smooth and effortless balancing of fully loaded camera systems. The auto safety lock is a critical addition, offering peace of mind by securing the equipment in a horizontal position during the critical moments of loading or dismantling.

User convenience is at the forefront of the Skyline 90's design, with floating caliper pan and tilt locks that are equipped with large, accessible metal levers. These can be operated with a single hand, minimizing disruptions to the captured footage. Dual bubble levels are strategically placed on each side of the head, allowing for quick and accurate leveling in any shooting scenario.

The Skyline 90 Fluid Head is a testament to Miller's commitment to quality and "THE RIGHT FEEL" that professionals have come to expect from their products. This sturdy, durable, and reliable tool is an indispensable asset for achieving the smoothest and most precise camera movements, making it a top choice for industry professionals seeking a fluid head that can keep up with the rigorous demands of outside broadcast productions.
