Miller Debuts Cineline 70 Tripod System At NAB

Miller Camera Support, LLC, debuts its new Cineline 70 Tripod System at NAB 2015 (Booth C9520).

The system includes a new HD Mitchell Base 1-Stage Alloy Tripod and HD Alloy Ground Spreader to complement the Cineline 70 Fluid Head and aims to help cinematographers capture content with ease.

"Miller designed the Cineline 70 Tripod System to meet the demanding needs of on-the-go cinematographers who consider speed, reliability and consistency to be paramount," says Charles Montesin, global sales and marketing manager. "The system is Miller's next step toward its continued expansion into the cinematographic market, as it is a feature-rich, cost-effective solution built to improve workflow and boost production value, allowing operators to capture high-quality shots with its smooth pans and tilts."

The HD Mitchell Base 1-Stage Alloy Tripod boasts a fast and easy setup, with features that include a high-capacity leg-lock system, deploying turn-lock levers with rapid lock/release action, as well as a heavy duty Mitchell Base with a built-in bubble level. The tripod system has a capacity of 82.7 pounds, providing stability and security when supporting varying rigging configurations. Additionally, the HD Alloy Ground Spreader, designed for rapid setup and pull-down, easily attaches to the Alloy Tripod and is optimal for use on flat surfaces.

Completing the system, the lightweight Cineline 70 Fluid Head, constructed of corrosion resistant alloy, 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 various camera mountings, including Arri, Sony, RED, and Canon, and it also features an Arri-compatible, side-loading camera platform, along with an optional 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. Furthermore, the fluid head offers dual side mounts for monitors and accessories, as well as an assistant's box front mount.

To coincide with the Cineline 70 Tripod System, Miller will showcase a number of Cineline accessories that may be added to customise the system for specific shooting conditions at NAB 2015.
