technology
conference and exposition on the East
Coast of the United States.
The complete Cineline 2090
tripod system includes a new HD
Mitchell Base 1-Stage Alloy Tripod,
and HD Alloy Ground Spreader, to

I-Stage Alloy
Tripod, and is

to set up

"With the amount of episodic
productions increasing, the Cineline
2090 Tripod System is an assent as
it was designed to specifically meet
the unique needs and challenges
cinematographers face on a daily
basis," says Gus Harilaou, Regional
Manager for the Americas, Miller
Camera Support, LLC. "The Cineline
2090 features several setups and
payloads, as well as illuminated rearmounted controls on the system's
Cineline 70 Fluid Head. This allows
all the controls to be seen and easily
adjusted on a shoot located in a dim
setting.
"Along with the Cineline 2090, we
will also be exhibiting the Compass
23, which provides users with the
capability to add more lens and rig
options, without completely going
out of the 75 mm price range," adds
Harilaou. "This is a great way for those
starting out to add more advanced
production elements in an affordable
way, and further evidence of
Miller's commitment to providing
solutions to all levels of the
market."
The Cineline 2090's high-capacity
leg-lock system, deploying turn-lock
levers with rapid lock/release action,
as well as a heavy duty base with builtin bubble level, means this HD Mitchell
Base 1-Stage Alloy Tripod offers a fast
and easy setup. Built with the strength
and torsional rigidity to take on heavy
payloads, the 2090 tripod system has
a capacity from 9.9 lbs (4.5 kg) to
82.5 lbs (37.5 kg), providing stability
and security when supporting varying
rigging configurations. Designed for
rapid setup and pull-down, the sturdy
HD Alloy Ground Spreader easily
attaches to the Alloy Tripod, and is
optimal for use on flat surfaces.
Constructed
of
corrosion
resistant alloy, the lightweight
Cineline 70 Fluid Head of
the Cineline 2090 offers
advanced
precision
fluid
drag control with ultra-soft
starts, smooth stops, and perfect
diagonal drag transition, as well as
counterbalance systems with "all-in-

one-location" control layout. It is set
to accommodate industry-leading
camera mountings, including Arri,
Sony, RED, and Canon, and features an
Arri-compatible, side-loading camera
platform, along with an optional,
easy-to-fit Mitchell Base Adaptor to
suit traditional Mitchell Flat Base
tripods. Additionally, the fluid head
comes equipped with an extended
sliding range to promote quick and
seamless rebalancing of the rig
when lens and accessory changes
result in weight distributions. As an
added bonus, the fluid head offers
dual side mounts for monitors
and accessories, as well as an
assistant's box front mount.
Miller will also be showcasing
its Compass 23 Fluid Head, an
affordable entry model into the
100 mm ball leveling range, at
CCW 2015. The new Compass
23 is designed for use with
medium size large sensor cameras,
to provide users with the portability,
rigidity, and professional features they
seek in a lightweight system.
This new head in the Compass
line is designed to handle a range
of setups, from those that employ a
light rigging with just a camera and a
lens, to a full rig adding on monitors,
wireless mics, batteries, and more,
where standout features, such as pan
and tilt smoothness, and multiple
counterbalance selection, are also
required. In addition, the Compass 23
comes with the reliability and "right
feel" that are the hallmarks of every
Miller product.
To accommodate different setups,
the Compass 23 is equipped with
three selectable positions of highperformance drag, plus a zero position
and four counterbalance positions for
payloads of approximately 8-30 lbs.
It also has a 120 mm sliding camera
plate with 60 mm travel for perfect
balancing. The new fluid head comes
equipped with readily accessible
controls and illuminated bubble
level, superior pan/tilt locks utilising
disc brakes, and replaceable tilt end
rosette.
