Introduction

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.
