CXV+ The Next-Level Fluid Head

CXV+ The Next-Level Fluid Head With Smarter, Safer, Universal Compatibility

When we introduced the AiRV+, we set a new standard for compact, creator-friendly fluid heads: fast, intuitive, reliable, and robust. Now, we’re taking that philosophy into a more advanced tier of cinematography with the launch of the CXV+ a fluid head engineered for bigger rigs, heavier payloads, and more demanding productions.

But what truly elevates the CXV+ isn’t just the expanded performance.
It’s the new universal Miller Base Plate system — a smarter, safer, cross-compatible platform designed for modern filmmakers who switch gear constantly and can’t afford to slow down.


Universal Compatibility, Zero Hassle

The CXV+ features the same next-generation base plate design introduced with AiRV+, letting you safely interchange plates across many industry-standard systems.

Compatible with (but not limited to):

  • Miller Versa

  • Manfrotto 501

  • DJI Ronin QR

  • Kondor Blue 501 / ARCA Pivot

  • SmallRig Manfrotto QR

Whether you’re transitioning from a stabiliser to sticks, moving between shooters, or working in a fast-paced multi-rig environment, the CXV+ keeps everything seamless.
No re-rigging. No plate headaches. Just mount and move.


A Smarter, Safer Locking System

What sets the CXV+ apart is the Miller side-load safety-switch mechanism, engineered to eliminate camera drops and unwanted slips.

Your plate:

  • Slides in smoothly from the side

  • Automatically engages the safety lock

  • Secures firmly with zero play

Even heavy, fully-rigged cinema cameras stay locked and protected, a major advantage on uneven terrain, fast turnaround sets, or when working with assistants still learning the ropes.

The result:
More speed. More confidence. Less risk.


Built for Bigger Rigs and Bigger Ambitions

Where AiRV+ excels with mirrorless and lightweight cine setups, the CXV+ pushes into a higher performance class:

  • Increased payload capacity for larger cinema cameras

  • A broader fluid drag range for more nuanced pan and tilt control

  • Advanced counterbalance tuned for heavier accessories and larger lenses

  • A robust build designed for long production days and unpredictable conditions

If you’re stepping into full-frame cinema, cine zooms, matte boxes, wireless systems, monitors, and other heavy add-ons, the CXV+ is the tool built to carry that weight, and keep movement silky smooth.


AiRV+ and CXV+: Same DNA, Different League

Think of the CXV+ as the AiRV+’s big brother:
same design philosophy, same modern ergonomics, just with more power, more precision, and more room to grow.

Choose the AiRV+ if you’re a fast-moving creator with lightweight rigs.
Choose the CXV+ if your setup is growing and your projects demand higher-end performance.

Both now share the same intelligent plate system, giving you a truly flexible ecosystem whether you’re shooting run-and-gun or full cinema productions.


The Bottom Line

The CXV+ isn’t just a new fluid head.
It’s the next step in a smarter, safer, cross-compatible ecosystem built for filmmakers who want reliability without compromise.

Universal compatibility.
Stronger support.
Precision movement.
And a safety system designed to protect your craft — and your investment.

CXV+ — level up your head, without slowing down your workflow.
