The Miller Versa CXV10 Fluid Head Pan Handlefrom Miller Versa CXV10 Fluid Head Pan Handleis designed to accommodate a wide payload range, 16 steps of counterbalance with CB Plus for fine adjustments, as well as five selectable pan/drag settings. Pan, tilt, and counterbalance can all be set to zero, enabling even the lightest cameras to be supported. Maxed out, this head is rated to support camera setups up to 26.4 lb, adequate for a DSLR or mirrorless camera, a cinema camera, or an ENG camcorder. Securing your camera or rig is easy. The sideload quick release plate design enables you to simply drop in your camera without the alignment issues posed by rear-loading variations. The plate offers 3.9" of sliding range to balance your rig.

To survive fast-paced shooting environments, the CXV10 is die-cast from a lightweight yet durable metal alloy with composite polymers and precision ball bearings for smooth mechanical operation. Even in harsh conditions, the CXV10 will perform reliably. The base of the CXV10 is a 100mm ball for mounting to compatible tripods and grip equipment. An illuminated bubble level makes it easy to level the CXV10 in dark environments. A fixed-length pan handle is included, and a second rosette is available for attaching an optional second pan handle.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will Manfrotto plates work with this head?

A: No, sorry they are not compatible. If you must use Manfrotto, you could use the Manfrotto 577 Rapid Connect Adapter with Sliding Mounting Plate (501PL) B&H # MA577 or the Manfrotto 357 Pro Quick Release Adapter with 357PL Plate B&H # MA357. You would attach either of these to the Miller quick release.

Q: 2. Does a standard manfrotto plate fit in this head?

A: We're afraid not. This tripod has its own quick release plate system, it is not compatible with Manfrotto plates.

Q: 3. Is the 75mm bowl proprietary to Miller tripods? Will this head fit any brand of tripod with a 75mm bowl? For example, experience taught me Sachtler bowls are proprietary to the tripods.

A: Yes.

Q: 4. I have some old Bogen/Manffroto telescopic pan arms with rosette clamps. will these fit on the CX series head rosettes? they look similar but my CX6 tripod system hasn't arrived yet so I can't try it...

A: We cant know for certain without knowing the exact model tripod arm however it is usually safe to assume that it will not work. There is no universal standard rosette size/pattern for tripod arms and even Manfrotto/Bogen have a few variations of their rosette arm.

Q: 5. does the side mount system in these heads work directly with arri style long dove plates? or will I have to screw it onto the head's proprietary plate?

A: Miller has their own proprietary quick release plate system. You will need to add a dovetail if you intend to use this tripod with Arri standard dovetail mounts.

Q: 6. Is the sliding plate interchangeable with the AirAV model?

A: No, the AirV fluid head (#1044) uses the “Versa” camera plate (#1201) The AIR fluid head (#1042) uses the standard camera plate(#1205) However, you could add a receiver onto the AIR that would allow you to use the AirV Versa plate on the AIR Head.

Q: 7. Is the 3rd step of drag on the CX6 similar to the 5th step on the CX8 or is it less? Is the difference just fewer steps in-between or is it less drag overall?

A: Comparisons between the drag settings is not something listed by Miller on any head. The key in this case is that the CX8 offers more adjust-ability with 5 steps over 3 steps on the CX6. However we are not aware of a direct comparison between the steps.

Q: 8. Would this work on a Gitzo 75mm bowl on Gitzo series 5 tripod?

A: Yes, it will work.

Q: 9. Is that a flat base mounting option for sliders?

A: Base Mount 75 mm Half Ball

Q: 10. Can this Miller Air Fluid Head 1042 be mounted on a Gitzo GT2531LVL Series 2 or a GT2542 Series 2 tripod?

A: Yes you can. The Miller Air Fluid Head 1042 has a removable ball level stud for flat base mounting with 3/8 screw hole. Both Gitzo tripods have a 3/8 screw available.
