Known as a ""Naked Head"", ArtX 5 Naked is a new concept, a world first, that provides choices to enable users to build a head to fit their exact purpose.

Customisation makes ArtX 5 a versatile fluid head for "on the go" creative professionals needing an all-rounder, affordable solution with uncompromised performance. Whether you shoot with a mirrorless camera, DSLR, mid-sized cine-rig or an ENG camera, ArtX 5 is capable of balancing payloads from 0kg to 10kg. It features advanced precision fluid drag, intuitive controls, and fast set-up.
ArtX 5 employs CB Plus technology providing 15+0 positions of counterbalance and a generous camera plate range, with 3+0 settings of “The Right Feel” Miller's unrivalled drag technology for smooth drag quality. The perfect fluid head to match your camera rig configuration for ultimate camera control is now made possible with ArtX 5.
