The Miller CX6 SOLO-Q 75 Carbon Fiber 3-Stage Tripodis designed to accommodate a wide payload range with 16 steps of counterbalance. Pan, tilt, and counterbalance can all be set to zero, enabling even the lightest of cameras to be supported. Maxed out, this head is rated to support camera setups up to 26.4 pounds, suitable for small cinema cameras with rigs or medium sized ENG camcorders. Securing your camera or rig is easy. The sideload plate design enables you to simply drop in your camera without the alignment issues posed by rear-loading variations. The plate offers 2.4" of sliding range to balance your rig.
To survive fast-paced shooting environments, the CX6 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 CX6 will perform reliably. The base of the CX6 is a 75 ball for mounting to compatible tripods and grip equipment. An illuminated bubble level makes it easy to level the CX6 in dark environments. A pan handle with a 15.4" fixed length is included and a second rosette is incorporated for attaching an optional second pan handle.

A: It should fit, I used it with Manfrotto 502 and 516 fluid head. This is one of the best designed tripods I've ever used. One lever controls both leg extensions at the same time. Very quick setup.
Q: 3. How does this tripod hold up after long terme use? I've read the rubber feet fall off easily after a while. How about the locks, do they stay secure over time?
A: This is a good entry level tripod and will work as expected. If you have a long term project with anticipated hard use, you may wish to invest in a tripod meant for such use.

A: This tripod will reach a range of 15 to 80".

A: The load capacity is 0-30.9 lbs / 0-14.0 kg.

A: We're afraid not. This tripod has its own quick release plate system, it is not compatible with Manfrotto plates.
Q: 7. Can i take out the mid level spreader simply without any tool, is it easily removable? That would come handy if i want to go lower with the tripod
A: Yes, the following spreader can be removed and replaced.
Q: 8. Hi! I plan to use this tripod with a Sachtler aktiv fluid head, but for that I need to make sure of the compatibility. There is a centered hole in the bowl where the head is mounted and I would like to know it's diameter. Could you please check it for me?
A: Yes. The following unit will adapt to the 75mm bowl drop.
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. Are the levels of drag adequate, or do you find yourself constantly wishing for more drag?
A: Those of us at B&H who have used it, like the overall feel of this head and its operation with a variety of cameras. We have had no complaints regarding any lack of drag.
