I have been using this set-up for a while but its a little too big for my usual camera set-up.
Details:
Can balance up to about 70lbs of camera, This head is very similar to the sachtler video 20/25 heads and features similar functions ("click-in" variable fluid drag settings- including a zero setting, built in balancing plate, and a quick tilt lock pin on the side for camera mounting) This tripod could be ready to use as a great B-camera tripod or if you fixed some of the little issues with it, it would make a great primary fluid head (read issues below).
Includes:
Miller 80 Head
Homemade tripod plate (the OEM version has been lost)
Brand new oconnor 1030 pan handle
150mm Miller sticks (similar style to Ronford Medium Dutys)
Miller Maxi spreader
The good:
-Great smooth 150mm head, no leaks I can see, holds a lot of camera for not much money, sticks and spreader are great
The not so good:
-The tilt drag setting doesnt seem to be catching (possibly stuck on a medium setting?)
-Missing one tripod lock arm (just lost it on my last shoot- easy to replace though- you just need the plastic part or make your own)
-Home made plate works, but its not a bad idea to get an OEM plate or have one machined
As I said, I have been using this set-up for a while and its ready to work, I would just suggest having it tuned up by a fluid head technician and you will have a perfect head.
Because of these listed issues, I am only asking $1250 for it. Great deal for a working set-up in this weight range and the sticks and spreader along are worth quite a bit.

PM me your offers. Thanks!
