- In today's video we're discussing my experience with the Miller Tripod, SOLO Q.
This is a great tripod that's perfect for smaller creators, run and gun shooters, people who have smaller to medium size cameras. It's fully carbon, has decent weight and feels solid. Pair it with a 75mm fluid head like the CXV6 and you got a solid tripod!

Love how high it can get, but those twist locks are slow to adjust on extending the legs.
@@twesttv it's over 2m I said 187cm in the video though that was wrong as I'm around that height. Though I agree on the twist locks being a little slow. Overall though it's a nice tripod
One thing you could do then is get the CX (or now, CXV for versatility with Manfrotto equipment, etc.) with the Solo legs, but then later as your business grows, upgrade the legs to the Sprinter II for faster setup and sturdier support.
@@ebinrock interesting, wasn't aware of that! Ill have to check it out. Appreciate the info!
@@Addrian. Yeah, as long as the bowl mount of the legs (75mm, in this case, or 100mm for other tripods) matches the bowl size of the head, they're all interchangeable - you can even "Frankenstein" a tripod system together with heads and legs of different makes (although it might not look nice! 😅).
@@ebinrock ha ha that's hectic! If it works, it works I guess. I've got a couple other tripods, I'll do a review on at some point, I got a Benro and a great Manfrotto that's kind of sat back on the sidelines at the moment but all very capable tripods. the idea of changing the bowl mount is definitely intriguing.
Great concept. Appreciate the insight!
Man, I remember using Miller tripods in Film School and they were the GOAT! I love them. And yes! The fluid heads are so solid and smooth! Best in the game! I just wish I had the mulla to buy one of these babies! :D
Haha me too. Its all we had in film school. They were proper solid!! 👌
They really do last a lifetime as well I feel!
Got my carbon Miller Solo in 1999, possibly the end of 98. Its going great. I use it professionally and I cant see myself ever needing to change it because the design of how the legs tighten doesnt look like its ever going to break.
Great tripods. Another feature is how low they go.
Yeah very true, damn that's a classic you got right there! Awesome to hear its still serving you well.
Its the original but it looks identical to yours. Excelt they head has had some revisions to my fluid head. But the sticks i doubt have changed at all. @Addrian.
@@colourberry wow, that's awesome! just goes to show the excellence with Miller tripods.
@@Addrian. Yep. I'm pretty sure Miller invented the fluid head too. I remember being told that back in the day.
@@colourberry yeah that is correct! I actually saw the patent and I'm sure it was the fluid head. They've been around for like 7 decades!
I recently bought another well known brand with fluid head due to budget constraints, and while it’s good at most things, the super slow-speed panning from standstill is where you’ll really see the Miller shine above all.
I agree, completely nother level! I love the tension options as well, works extremely well. Solid heads and tripods. I know some people who've been using Miller for years and they're still going strong. Great brand.
@@Addrian. yeah, they’re amazing. I actually need to get mine serviced they’re that well used 😜
@@tzi9608 ha ha too true, if you're in Sydney, visit them in Wetherill Park! They'll take care of you.
I have 3 Miller Solo Tripods (one carbon fibre from 2001 I think?) and 3 Manfrotto's - the Millers are amazing and my always preffered tripod - they are beast's in the workplace - I work a lot overseas in dusty dirty climates - they are the king of tripods by far - I've used many other brands in my career and hands down love a good Aussie workhorse like a Miller product
That's awesome to hear Kevin. Yeah I remember the ones in film school were from the early 2000s. Good to see them still going strong.
They really are one of the best.
Great shots and review. The opening scene is very dramatic with the tripod towering over you.
Appreciate it! Thanks so much, I think it's definitely higher than 187cm though! ha ha.
legs for days
