Miller launch Solo DV tripod at IBC

Miller’s new SOLO DV tripod enhances Miller's 75mm production tripod range by combining silk-smooth fluid pan & tilt with an ultra light, rock solid spreaderless tripod.
Add to that selectable counterbalance, 75mm ball levelling and quick release and according to Miller the SOLO DV is “unbeatable for one-man shooting”.
Grant Clementson, Miller’s MD, said: “The DV shooter’s demands of stability, pro features and light weight, compact carriage were not being met. Sure, you can get friction heads on cheap, unstable tripods, spreaderless tripods without ball levelling, heads without fluid or counterbalance, tripods that are too heavy or too large - you just couldn’t get the best of all worlds in one package – until SOLO!”
The spreaderless SOLO DV carbon fibre tripod is designed for single operator crews: they set up to 160cm height in seconds and pack down to a compact 60cm for transport.
Selectable leg angle locks ensure rapid stabilisation, while the 75mm diecast alloy bowl offers quick levelling, optimum tortional rigidity and long term durability.
The SOLO DV tripod will initially launch with three new systems specifically targeting one-man DV shooters.
