Compass fluid heads finalist for Australian International Design Awards
Miller Camera Supports’ new fluid head range, Compass is a finalist in the 2010 Australian International Design Awards.
Presented by Standards Australia, the Australian International Design Awards is Australia’s premier design assessment program, recognising Australian and international design and innovation excellence. In the Final Round Assessment stage, shortlisted products were assessed by multidisciplinary panels of Australian and international experts in relevant design disciplines. Judges had the opportunity to physically test entries from a usability perspective, and rank the design merits of each product against a common set of criteria including innovation, visual and emotional appeal, functionality, quality of manufacture, human factors such as ergonomics, semantics and safety, and environmental sustainability.
The Compass Fluid Head range is a finalist in the Business & Technology section, which includes hydraulic stabilising mechanism, in-road flashing warning beacon, and other portable computing technology. It is the only entry representing the film and television production industry.
Miller’s Manufacturing Director, Mark Clementson commented "This is a great achievement for Miller Camera Support to reach the finals of the AIDA. It’s something we are all very proud of and gives us every encouragement for our future endeavours."
