The Versa CXV14 Fluid Head with Pan Handle from Miller is designed to accommodate a wide payload range, 16 steps of counterbalance with CB Plus for fine adjustments, as well as five selectable pan/drag settings. 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 30.9 lb, adequate for a DSLR or mirrorless camera, a cinema camera, or a ENG camcorder. Securing your camera or rig is easy. The sideload quick release plate design enables you to simply drop in your camera without the alignment issues posed by rear-loading variations. The plate offers 3.9" of sliding range to balance your rig.

To survive fast-paced shooting environments, the CXV14 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 CXV14 will perform reliably. The base of the CXV14 is a 100mm ball for mounting to compatible tripods and grip equipment. An illuminated bubble level makes it easy to level the CXV14 in dark environments. A fixed-length pan handle is included, and a second rosette is available for attaching an optional second pan handle.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this spreader work with the Manfrotto 525MVB ?

Q: 6. Which head would you recommend if shooting macro with D850 and 105 macro lens?

A: The Really Right Stuff BH-40 Ball Head with Full-Size Screw-Knob Clamp, B&H # REBH40PROII, would be a good tripod head for your usage needs. However, I personally like the Sirui K-20x Ball Head, B&H # SISUK20X, and the Really Right Stuff Macro Focusing Rail, B&H # REB150B, or the Sunwayfoto Macro Focusing Rail with Screw-Knob Clamp, B&H # SUMFR150S, would be a good additional accessory to allow more precise positioning when shooting macro photography.

Q: 10. Why is it $17,766.00?

A: Top level gear such as OConnor is used on productions where each hour is costing thousands of dollars. In such a situation, you as a cinematographer want only the finest equipment available. As a user of OConnor heads for years on multi million dollar feature sets, I can attest that when the shot and your job rests on everything working perfectly, you do not want to have gear that is anything less than the best. OConnor answers those needs; it works every time all the time. All this quality and ruggedness costs. More affordable gear will do a fine job for most consumer and light use professional productions. However, that level gear cannot hold up under super demanding situations.
