Description
Black Midas tripod.
The stand is formed by three legs which can be adjusted with two clips on each leg. The feet are circular with a metal point. The legs connect at the top to a three-pointed base. There is a black knob attached to the base. Directly under the base is a pole which connects to the three legs with an adjustable knob which can extend the legs as needed. A clear sticker on the pole has white text, "DROP / CONTROL / & / GRIP LOCK", and an illustration of a directional arrow underneath. A silver sticker on one of the legs reads, "MIDAS" printed in black.
Connected to the three-pointed base is a small crank arm. On top of the base is a circular platform in which the camera attachment can swivel. This is marked with white measurements and has a small black knob attached. On top of this is the camera attachment, a flat platform with a groove for a camera to be inserted. A small knob allows the camera to be locked into place. On the left hand side of the platform is a small level. On the right hand side is a long silver handle with a black grip at the end so the camera can be swivelled. The camera attachment is held to the base with a barrel-shaped attachment, which can be adjusted with a large knob which reads, "TILT CONTROL LOCK". There are white measurements along this dial.
