Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. 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.
Q: 2. Can the spreader on this tripod be removed?
A: Yes, the spreader is removable. You can use a ground level spreader instead.
Q: 3. what are the dimensions of this tripod when completely compacted?
A: The closed length of Manfrotto 635 FAST Single Leg Carbon Fiber Tripod legs is 28.94". Manfrotto 504X Fluid Video Head with Flat Base is 4''Hight, combine together it has a total length of 32.94''.
Q: 4. I will be upgrading from a Benro H8. I know this head is WAY better. My main complaint with the Benro is, the maximum drag is really weak. I want heavy drag that you really have to push on so slow movements are highly controlled. Is the heaviest drag on this head really stiff?
A: Yes not only is the Miller more stiff at its maximum setting it also offers more steps in between the lightest and toughest setting.
Q: 5. Will this tripod hold a black magic ursa Broadcast camera?
A: Yes, it will support the Ursa Broadcast.
Q: 6. Do sachtler/manfrotto QR plates work with this head?
A: We're afraid not. This is compatible with Miller plates like BH #MI24CP. https://bhpho.to/2LTojyE
Q: 7. Would this work on a Gitzo 75mm bowl on Gitzo series 5 tripod?
A: Yes, it will work.
Q: 8. I ordered the model with ground level spreader. If I want to add a mid level spreader, what model/part is that? Also, does it include protective feet if I remove the ground spreader, or do I need to buy them separately?
A: You would need the Manfrotto Mid Level Spreaders (MA537SPRB). The rubber shoes for the tripod would be separate, the part number for them is MA565.
Q: 9. 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: 10. What is the height of the head to the flat mount (without the ball)? I'm looking to place this on a slider and travel jib.
A: The non-removable ball integrates a flat base. The dimension from the top to bottom is 6.0" / 153mm. https://www.millertripods.com/us/mwdownloads/download/link/id/6/
