Safety Instructions
Thank you for purchasing the Cineline 70 Fluid Head. The
Cineline 70 Fluid Head is purpose-built for film/digital
production cinematographers who want a new dimension in
professional camera support.
The robust design and construction of the Cineline 70 Fluid
Head is ideal for use on feature films, documentaries and
high-end television commercial productions that require heavy
payload, frequent re-rigging and a diverse range of lenses and
camera accessories. It is set to accommodate industry-leading
cameras, including Arri, Sony, RED, and Canon.
The Cineline 70 features an Arri-compatible side-loading
camera platform, along with an easy-to-fit 1225 Mitchell Base
Adaptor to suit traditional Mitchell Base tripods. Side and
front mounting locations are also provided to accommodate
a wide range of accessories such as the view finder and the
front box.
The Fluid Drag and Counterbalance system was designed
to provide excellent ergonomics and control by offerring
progressive and equal increments of drag and torque to give
ultra-soft starts / stops and perfect diagonal drag transition.
The controls are located on a single backlit panel and allow
the users a highly functional means of controlling all aspects
of the camera motion.
The Cineline 70 will give best performance when used on
a Miller
Ø150 HD Tripod or the Miller HD Mitchell Base
Tripod. This will ensure maximum system stability to suit any
professional set-up.
