Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Miller DS5/DS10/DS20 fluid head for

use with our professional tripods and portable video camcorders. All

fluid heads are 75mm ball levelling design and boast similar physical

appearance and size. The DS5 utilises a single position

counterbalance system to handle camera payloads up to 2.5kg

(5.5lb). The DS10 utilises 2 selectable counterbalance positions to

handle payloads from 2.5-5kg (5.5-11lb) while the DS20 offers 2

selectable counterbalance positions for larger camcorders ranging

from 5-10kg (11-22lb).

The DS5/DS10/DS20 fluid head is designed for maximum stability,

accuracy and repeatability and includes 4 precision ball bearings

and a fluid drag plate system in the pan and tilt assembly to deliver

true fluid drag performance over a wide temperature range and

payload. The DS10/DS20 fluid head also includes a friction drag

adjustment.

The DS5/DS10/DS20 fluid head will give best performance when

used on Miller SOLO DV (#1630, #1501) or Toggle Lightweight DV

(#440, #420) tripod. This will ensure maximum system stability to suit

any professional set-up. The DS5/DS10/DS20 fluid head will fit most

industry standard 75 mm tripods as well, please refer to

manufacturers' manual for mounting details.

Handle Mounting

The DS5/DS10/DS20 fluid head is supplied with a fixed length pan

handle and clamp fitted to the right side of the head. A second

pan handle can be attached to the DS5/DS10/DS20 for dual pan

handle operation. Refer to spare parts section.
