Miller Sharpshooters


#   Experience with the DS 10 and Compass 12 Heads with a Miller Solo Carbon Fibre Tripod  |  Australia
The first expedition was to the very remote Gunsa valley near Mt Kangchenjunga, the world’s third highest mountain. This expedition involved a crew of four plus 21 sherpas and porters covering 350 km on foot during a six week shoot.





#   "Easy and painfree" Compass 12 "an ideal companion"  |  New Zealand
I usually operate as a one man band and was on the lookout for an affordable, quality, light weight tripod solution for some time. Lately I've been mainly shooting on my Sony NEX-FS700 which is a relatively light camera. I haven't got the luxury of assistants to help move gear for the next shot so I like to keep my rig as light and minimal as possible.
