Best Fluid Head I've Ever Used

I run a corporate video production house and we've used various fluid heads over the years. This new Miller fluid head is by far the smoothest and best we've ever used. From the excellent drop in plate design, to the 16 steps of counterbalance, to the ridiculously smooth panning and tilting, this is THE fluid head. Super happy with the purchase, we'll be buying more in the future.

Best Fluid Head I've Ever Used

By ADAM K.

I run a corporate video production house and we've used various fluid heads over the years. This new Miller fluid head is by far the smoothest and best we've ever used. From the excellent drop in plate design, to the 16 steps of counterbalance, to the ridiculously smooth panning and tilting, this is THE fluid head. Super happy with the purchase, we'll be buying more in the future.

A top-tier addition to the Compass X series, the CX8 Fluid Head with a 75mm Ball Base is meticulously designed to support camera rigs weighing up to 26.46 lbs. This professional-grade camera support system is equipped with CB Plus 16 balance positions and 5 levels of fluid drag, making it the gold standard in compact camera supports.

The CX8 Fluid Head is the perfect companion for cinematic and documentary productions, where frequent changes in payload and center of gravity are common due to swapping lenses or accessories. Crafted from lightweight, high-strength die-cast alloy and durable composite polymers, this fluid head is not only robust but also offers silky smooth pan and tilt camera movements, thanks to precision ball bearings.

Engineered to perform consistently across a wide range of temperatures and environments, the CX8 Fluid Head is built to withstand extreme conditions, providing you with the confidence you need when working on demanding projects. This precise, smooth pan & tilt head is ideal for small to medium camera configurations, meeting the creative professional's demand for reliability and the distinctive "THE RIGHT FEEL" that is a hallmark of Miller products.

In essence, the CX8 Fluid Head is more than just a camera support system; it's a tool that empowers you to tell your story with precision and smoothness.
