The SkyX 8 Fluid Head with Two Telescoping Pan Handles from Miller is a heavy-duty fluid head with a 150mm ball base. The 16-position CB Plus fine-adjustment counterbalance system and a quick release camera plate together afford a load capacity up to 88 lb. The ball base can be adapted with an optional Mitchell base.

Pan drag and tilt drag each also have eight selectable positions (7+0), ranging from very light to heavy. Both pan and tilt drag feature a caliper disc brake system, and a quick release tilt lock pin serves as the tilt lock for payload protection. Two telescopic handles are extendable from 15.4 to 23.2" each. The quick release plate can be adjusted with a 4.7" sliding range.
