[Metal Alloy] Buttery smooth pans and tilts. Easy to counter balance. Easy to mount and unmount your camera.

[Metal Alloy] This head is fantastic! It is replacing a 25 year old Vinten Vision 5. While I have loved the Vinten, the infinite adjustable friction has worn out. I love the gears in this one and the 16 step counter balance. Also the Vinten heads only have a range for which they can be counter balanced, like 7 pounds to 14 pounds. This guy can go all the way from zero to 26.4 pounds. That means I can use a heavy camera or a DSLR and still balance the weight. Excellent design!

[Metal Alloy] Purchased in Feb 2022 with the Solo Q 100mm sticks. My previous tripod was a Vinten 5LF. I loved the Vinten, but with lighter cameras I no longer needed a head that could hold 40 lbs or more. The CX10 holds from 0 to 26 pounds and the 16 steps of counter balance and 5 levels of friction in both directions make for the perfect tool. I use both a Canon cinema camera and a Canon ENG camera on this tripod. No matter which camera or lens, I get remarkably smooth moves. And the CX10 / SoloQ is very light, about 10 pounds. My old Vinten was 16 to 18 pounds at least. The Carbon fiber legs are stiff and rigid. A wonderful purchase.

[Metal Alloy] Accessory for excellent product

[Metal Alloy] This replaced a well know brand fluid head and the difference was night and day. The counter balance is smooth, super easy to use, and convenient top plate loading.

I have no disappointment and am considering the accessory plate.

[Metal Alloy] I needed a second handle, so now I have two on my Compass 15 tripod head. It is easier to control. I like it a lot, but it is very expensive for what it is. It was extremely difficult to remove the plastic cap on the left side of the tripod to allow the handle to attach. Called Miller support mulitple times. Turns out you have to use a steel rod and hit it out with a hammer!! Crazy!! For such a delicate piece of superb engineering, it seems crazy to HIT it with a HAMMER!! But it worked.

[Metal Alloy] I purchased the Miller CX10 Fluid Head specifically for use with a Sony A7iii and Sony 200-600 G zoom lens in a rig weighing about 13 pounds. I use this setup as a moving camera for closeups in concerts. It's important to have smooth action with (near) perfect balance. The CX10 meets all of my need and expectations. It is also compact, rugged, and very easy to adjust. It is a true fluid head, so adjusting the drag is easy, since you aren't working against spring tension found in friction heads. The counterbalance is also easy to adjust, without undue resistance. I can point it to any position and let go of the handle without sag and very little springback. Hold for just a second or two, and the springback disappears.

[Metal Alloy] Heavy, sleek and quality head throughout. At maximum, Im sporting about an 18lb camera package, so Im well below the load rating. But the head feels really solidly built, pans are smooth with no kickback at the tails, tilt range is muy bueno. The counterbalance setup takes a little getting used to, but does what its supposed to do very well. Curious to see how well the CB system will hold up over time, as the click-in settings may wear down the control knob over the years. Its a tiny thing, but I like the thoughtful design touch of having a home for spare mount screws. For anyone concerned about only 3 steps of drag settings, dont be. You get used to the setting range almost immediately, and for the most part all the hoopla about 5+ steps is pure nonsense. All in all, pretty solid selection for my particular needs.
