Miller Camera Support Unveils Arrow Series

Miller Camera Support Equipment will demonstrate its Arrow Series of fluid heads at the Pinnacle Broadcast booth at the 2015 SET Broadcast & Cable Show, booth 93.

The Arrow Series was designed to support a variety of ENG and film applications as well as camera models from smaller ENG camcorders to more involved documentary style rigs.

The Arrow line is made up of the Arrow 25 Fluid Head, the Arrow 40 Fluid Head and the Arrow 55 Fluid Head. Each Arrow product features high precision die cast housings that are pre-treated with chromate to prevent corrosion and anti-corrosive fixings to stand up to the most hostile of environments.

The Arrow 25 Fluid Head supports the latest generation in acquisition, from the film-ready HDV alternatives to lightweight ENG camcorders. It is a 100mm fluid head that features 5 (plus 0) selectable pan and tilt drag positions, allowing for a range of light to heavy drag settings. It has a selectable four position counterbalance, as well as 100mm ball leveling. The 70mm sliding camera platform permits users to balance a camera load range of 3.5-14kg. All of this adds up to an adaptable camera support platform for a range of cameras.

The Arrow 40 Fluid Head provides smooth fluid action for ENG operators. Features include a disc lock pan/tilt breaking system, four counterbalance settings, protected rear mounted controls, and 7 (plus 0) selectable pan and tilt drag positions. A quick release 100mm sliding camera platform with a standard Euro camera plate and 100mm ball leveling mounting base are also included with the Arrow 40. The payload range of this fluid head is 7-16 kg.

The Arrow 55 Fluid Head offers the widest range of pan and tilt drag in the Arrow family, making it suited for long-lens applications such as documentary as well as Studio EFP configurations. With a payload range of 10-25 kg, and a 7 (plus 0) selectable pan and tilt drag positions, this fluid head is made for heavy duty applications. It also includes a quick release 100mm sliding camera platform with a standard Euro camera plate, 100 mm ball leveling mounting base, and protected rear mounted controls.

"The Arrow Series reflects Miller's longstanding tradition of producing quality products that fit the specific needs and challenges of working in the field," says Gus Harilaou, regional manager for the Americas, Miller Camera Support, LLC. "Each model is made to withstand the rugged conditions found when working in ENG in Latin America and beyond. No matter what the production scenario, there is an Arrow Series fluid head that users will be able to adapt to any situation."
