Miller TRIPOD SERIES Operator'S Manual Download Page 3

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Miller SOLO VJ tripod. 

SOLO VJ is a professional tripod, compatible with most 100mm ball
levelling pan & tilt heads. SOLO VJ is designed to support camcorders
in location and studio production environments. 

The telescopic carbon fibre tubing ensures optimum rigidity and rapid
deployment, while the leg angle lock eliminates the need for a tripod
spreader. As a result, SOLO VJ features an operating height range
from a low 22cm (8.7”) up to an impressive 187cm (73”), with maximum
support stability maintained across its operating range. 

Magnesium leg top and aluminium diecast components deliver the
ultimate in lightweight durability while the sturdy carry case,
detachable leg strap and rubber/spike complete a truly professional VJ
support package, for all DVCAM and ENG Camcorders.
