The MTT605A Aluminum Video Tripod Kit from miliboo features an aluminum tripod, compact fluid head, and ground spreader, and it includes a carry case to pack all these into, providing a complete solution for up to 17.6 lb loads, which is the payload of the fluid head. The tripod has a 75mm bowl base, and the fluid head has a flat base and comes with a 75mm half ball adapter that lets you attach it to the tripod.

The flat base of the fluid head has a 3/8"-16 mounting thread on the bottom. A benefit of the flat base is that it allows you to attach the head directly to sliders and other camera supports that have a 3/8"-16 mounting screw or a 3/8"-16 adapter. With this capability, you can easily move the head along with your camera between the tripod and these various other supports. A quick release plate included with the head offers both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 camera mounting screws along with a locating pin. The head also comes with a pan bar and has an integrated bubble level for checking balance.

The included ground spreader, which allows for increased stability, is removable from the tripod. When it's removed, the tripod's spiked feet can be used on soft ground. A key feature of the tripod is a simple single-flip leg locking system on each of the legs, allowing you to efficiently adjust the height of each leg. The tripod is height-adjustable from approximately 20 to 67" in two stages/three sections. The head adds several more inches on top of this, allowing you to shoot from high angles.

Q: 8. I purchased my Ace trips for my new sony camcorder and love it. I would also like to use this tripod with my Canon 7d for both still and video applications. What accessories would you recommend to properly mount the 7D to this tripod head?

A: The Ace tripod system is excellent for the 7D in most any video configuration you wish. You can start out by just mounting the 7D directly on the tripod with the included quick release. If you progress in video, you will find you will want a cage to hold accessories, such as a mic, a light, a mic receiver, etc, etc. Then you may wish to go hand held. There are dozens of firms making such handheld 15mm shoulder DSLR rigs. Zacuto, Redrock, SHAPE, Genus, ikan are just some of the good quality ones. The trick comes with wanting to do stills with this tripod as well. Using a video head for stills is very limiting mostly because of not being able to go vertical. Other disadvantages are the pan handle gets in the way, and fast framing is impossible because the fluid, while great when shooting video, slows you down lining up still shots. Generally, in the long run, a still photo tripod is preferred. However, to economize, the answer is to remove the video head and put a still photo ball head in its place. Do so by adding a 75mm ball to flat adapter like the one from E-image seen attached. Then mount a still photo tripod head such as the Giottos to the flat base. This should work pretty well.

Q: 10. can the spreader be removed? would that affect the stability?
