Go to Miller's main page at http://www.miller.com.au/ and you'll see a Quick
Find in the top right.
For your camera, they recommend 2 different models, the DS-20 and the Arrow
30.
The main difference is the capacity with the DS-20 rated at 22 lb. and the
Arrow 30 at 33 kg.
Your camera specs say that it weighs approx. 15 lb. so you'd be safe with a
DS-20.
However, if you ever want to hang a teleprompter on it, I'd definitely go
with the Arrow 30.
I've had various Millers for over 20 years and have been very happy with
them.
B&H has several versions of the DS-20 starting at $1350 USD & the Arrow
starting at $3600 USD.
