The 3043 ArrowX 3 Sprinter II 2-Stage Carbon Fiber Tripod System from Miller combines the ArrowX 3 fluid head with speedy and solid Sprinter II 2-Stage Alloy tripod to support the latest generation in acquisition from the DSLR to film-ready HDV alternatives to the lightweight ENG camcorders of payloads from 1-19kg, 2.2-41.8lbs.
Components of the 3043 ArrowX 3 Sprinter II 2-Stage Carbon Fiber Tripod System include: ArrowX 3 Fluid Head (1072), Tripod Rubber Feet (475), Sprinter II 2-Stage Carbon Fiber Tripod (1576), Mid-Level Spreader (993), Arrow Softcase (872), and Telescopic Pan Handle with Carrier (696).
The ArrowX 3 Fluid Head from Miller is the lightweight 100mm choice for ENG. Featuring a wide payload range, precision fluid drag and Miller’s innovative 16 position CB Plus counterbalance system, ArrowX 3 delivers the flexibility, speed of set up and accuracy of shot, professionals expect and demand from Miller’s 62 years of experience.
1-19kg (2.2-41.8lbs) payload range and 5+0 selectable pan-tilt fluid drag positions make ArrowX 3 ideal for news gathering and documentaries, enabling it to be used with a wide range of cameras, lenses and accessories.
CB Plus is an innovative sequential counterbalance design, taking traditional counter balancing a step forward ahead of the rest, resulting in repeatable, accurate and rapid setup. CB Plus features eight larger counterbalance steps, allowing the user to get to their required counterbalance position quickly and efficiently. The CB Plus “one flick” switch conveniently located at the front of the head, adds a half step between each of the eight larger steps enabling counterbalance fine-tuning when required.
The Sprinter II 2-Stage Carbon Fiber Tripod offers speed without the compromise. Featuring Sprint-Locks-Dual and side-action leg locks, you will be able to independently adjust both stages of a 2-stage tripod using one hand. Each tripod leg has two Sprint-Locks, both located on the upper leg clamp, resulting in high-speed adjustment with no more bending to adjust the lower tripod stage. The Mid- Level Spreader design offers continuous variable adjustment between maximum and minimum height settings and the latch and swivel design spreader attachment enables fast setups and prevents accidental damage.
The 3043 ArrowX 3 Sprinter II 2-Stage Carbon Fiber Tripod System finishes out with a set of three Tripod Rubber Feet; a fixed length Telescopic Pan Handle made of durable, black anodized aluminum tubing, supplied with black handle carrier; and an Arrow Softcase for 2-Stage tripods, made from weatherproof Cordura with padded carry straps and patented head-end cradle for protecting the fluid head during transport. Great protection for your tripod system!
