Miller tripod and junior fluid head

Norman · 01-09-2011, 02:06 AM

So I got a vintage miller tripod and junior fluid head.

I was wondering if anyone knows a new tripod where the head might fit.
I really like it due to its flexibility , the level head which is easily adjusted isnt beaten by any cheap new head.

The wooden tripod is very sturdy and I like it for studio work, but I'd love to have a bit lighter carry round tripod with the same head.

Any ideas?

Any suggestion for a good tripod that might work?

The head has a level plate, so that's why I was wondering.

What kind of price did you have in mind?

Doesnt really matter, quality is always appreciated

I'd get carbon fibre job from the manfrotto 055 series if looking for something light and sturdy (e.g. Manfrotto 055 carbon fibre Q90 3-section tripod - 055 Series).

That really looks like a beautiful set of legs, though.

*thinking* Oh, what was that brand.... (minutes later) Feisol.

They make a pretty stout set of legs, columnless but with a pretty wide base for the head, the legs flip up over the head for storage and carry: Here's I think one of the nicer ones, but these guys might be a good way to go for that.

How good is your Miller Junior F

Made in Australia

I had one years ago for a bolex HR16mm

Let me know if you ever wish to sell it

Lucky you !

I have the identical model.

Verry sturdyfor heavy lenses but the original legs are a work of art. The Miller tripod company may have a choice of legs for you.

Miller are still alive and well manufacturing tripods in Australia. Enjoy.
