The fluid action head, first patented by the Australian company Miller, is a perfect example of one such invention. Before Eric Miller introduced the world’s first fluid action head in 1946, camera operators had no option but to work with bulky and expensive gear-driven assemblies; panning shots were tricky and diagonal moves virtually impossible. The Miller fluid action head revolutionized the film and television industry by giving operators the freedom to shoot far more creatively, reduced production time and cost, creating shots previously unobtainable.
