About Miller Compass 20
FEATURED REVIEWS
Great purchase!
This is a quality tripod. I've been through the cheaper tripods and if you want one that will last and grow with you, this is a great option. I did a lot of research and am extremely happy with my purchase. The only downside is the extra quick release plates are very expensive for a simple piece of aluminum, but there are ways around that.
The Miller 1840 Compass 20 2-Stage Alloy system combines Compass 20 fluid head with cost-effective yet solid 420G Toggle tripod with ground spreader to provide professional performance for the latest generation of lightweight HDV/DVCAM/XDCAM/P2HD and DSLR cameras.
The Compass 20 is a unique and adaptable compact 75mm fluid head suitable for cameras and configurations payloads up to 12kg (26.5lbs). The advanced precision fluid drag and counterbalance systems operated by slim in line radial ring controls result in quicker and easier set up.
With an extended 5+0 position fluid drag system employing smooth start and soft stop technology and 4 counterbalance settings plus 60mm camera plate balance travel, the Compass 20 offers a fast reliable set up you can trust and is versatile enough to use over a wide array of camera configurations. It is built to deliver consistent performance and drag resistance with no variation over a wide range of temperatures and environments.
The Compass 20 is matched with the 2 stage Toggle (alloy) tripod and on ground spreader to yield a large height range 570-1740mm (22.4-68.5"), offer positive toggle leg locks and the stability of a ground spreader.
