About Miller CX8 + Solo 75 System

Become a master of visual storytelling with the CX8 Fluid Head with Solo 75 3-Section Aluminum Alloy Tripod. This advanced tripod system is a fusion of the innovative 1630 Solo tripod and the premium CX8 fluid head, making it the perfect companion for cinematic and documentary projects.

The CX8 Fluid Head is the crown jewel of the 75mm ball levelling Compass X series. It's designed to accommodate camera rigs weighing anywhere from 0 to 26.46 lbs. With CB Plus 16 balance positions and 5 levels of fluid drag, it sets a new benchmark in professional compact camera supports. This feature-rich fluid head is ideal for scenarios where the payload and center of gravity frequently change due to swapping of lenses or accessories.

Constructed from lightweight, high-strength die-cast alloy and durable composite polymers, the CX8 Fluid Head is robust and resilient. It features precision ball bearings for silky smooth pan and tilt camera movements. Engineered to perform consistently across a wide range of temperatures and environments, the CX8 is a reliable tool for any professional videographer.

The Solo 75 3-Section Aluminum Alloy Tripod, on the other hand, is designed for the solo operator. It offers rapid action twist locks and the versatility of 3-position leg angles. This 2-stage tripod provides a height range of 414-1805mm (16.3-71.1"), ensuring stable images from any angle across any terrain.

The Solo 75 tripod is crafted from durable black anodized alloy legs and high-strength magnesium die-cast alloy components, ensuring stability without adding unnecessary weight. It features an integrated 75mm bowl, 2-stage rapid leg lock extension, and an air cell carry strap for easy transport.

Together, the CX8 Fluid Head and Solo 75 3-Section Aluminum Alloy Tripod provide uncompromised performance, reliability, and the "right feel" that are the hallmarks of Miller products. This system is not just a tool, but a partner in your creative journey, helping you tell your story with precision and confidence.
