CXV+ The Next-Level Fluid Head November 20, 2025 No comments Posted in: News Share this post: 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.
