The Miller DS-10 Aluminum Tripod System DS-10 Fluid Head, 1-Stage Tripod, Mid-Level Spreader, Softcase is a complete, ready-to-go professional support system for DV lightweight camcorders. Comprised of an alloy diecast fluid head with 75mm ball levelling, lightweight alloy ENG tripod, detachable mid-level spreader, rubber feet and pan handle. The DS-10 offers the same control features, fluid drag design and accessories as Miller's larger broadcast products. The result is lightweight support that delivers superior performance, with features like fully Variable Fluid Drag control, independent Pan/Tilt locks, counterbalancing to provide finger tip control through the entire tilt range and sliding quick release camera platform, for "fine tune" balancing.
Key Features:
Multi-Step Pan & Tilt Fluid Drag System
The multi-step Fluid Drag system ensures smooth, consistent fluid drag control across all temperature ranges and through a wide range of light and heavy settings. By being independent of payload weight, provides smooth "starts" and dead "stops" for precise framing without any backlash. The system is fully sealed within sub-assemblies for a leakproof, low maintenance life.
Preset Counterbalancing
Uses a special designed counterbalanced system, to neutralise the effect of payloads and their centres of gravity. The built-in preset counterbalance system optimises tilt control in the intended capacity range.
Quick Release Camera Platform
Fitted with a precision, sliding quick release camera platform with self-engaging action. Ensuring rapid camera attachment, while the built-in safety lock guarantees camera safety during setup and pull-down.
