MIRANDA MT7 TRIPOD

+ Cheap and quick to set up

- You can't take portraits with it.

+ Self leveling feet, Tubed legs, easy to lock centre colum bracing(wheel just needs a slight turn to lock and unlock it). Raise the three leg sections & lock them in place, place two fingers firmly on the base plate & check for wobble , THERE ISN' T ANY stability is excellent!!! two spirit levels to check everything is level, both in landscape & portrait format, plus a tripod carrying case to go with it A BARGAIN, The carrying handle on the tripod is also handy if you dont want to use the case all the time, the hook on the base of the centre colum is ideal for hanging a bag of stones etc for extra stability should you ever feel the need. this is the best tripod i have ever owned in this price range .

- the flip head flips from left to right, any other tripod I have owned flips from right to left but this is not neccesarily a bad point you will just get used to it!

+ It came with 3 legs

- Constantly jamming.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Despite really liking this product, I had to return it. The camera positioning pin is fixed, but my camcorder requires the pin to be retractable.

+ Value for money, spirit levels are a great feature, and a snap off pad for your camera allows very easy "clip on clip off" camera use. Its got a great height and is solid when on the ground. Highly recommended.

- The build quality could be a little better ( only a little ), e.g. plasic leg locks ). Feels a little rough and ready, but it is solid. I just wonder whether the leg clips will stand the test of time, they seem to be doing a great job at the moment. But with other tripods of the same spec retailing at such a greater price, its great for a budding photograher who has a budget and needs a good solid tripod.
