NAB Show: Miller Tripods To Showcase New SKYX 8

Provider of professional fluid heads and tripods for the world’s leading camera operators in the film and television industries, Miller Tripods will showcase its new SkyX 8 fluid head at the 2023 NAB Show (April 16-19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Booth C4221). Designed for outdoor broadcast and studio productions, the SkyX 8 is versatile enough to use over a wide array of camera configurations.

The SkyX 8 replaces the Skyline 70. Delivering 16 positions of stepped counterbalance, with CB Plus and 120mm travel large Euro camera plate, the company says SkyX 8 “offers fast, repeatable counterbalance. The 7+0 positions of pan and tilt fluid drag system employs the Miller ‘right feel’ smooth start and soft stop technology while the precise floating pan-tilt caliper locks ensure bounce free on-off performance.”

Constructed of lightweight high-strength die-cast alloy and rigid composite polymers the SkyX 8 is “extremely durable and robust” for rugged outdoor shooting conditions delivering silky smooth pan-tilt fluid actions and symmetrical diagonals to match camera payloads up to 40kg (88Ibs). It employs precision heavy duty ball bearings to ensure long, trouble-free usage.
