Great idea, poor execution

My Giottos MT7371 tripod already had the ability to rotate the center post to a horizontal position, but I couldn't adjust the height (other than adjusting the length of the legs). That's why I order one because the "jagged" pivot is stronger than a plain clip. The first problem was that my tripod had a 60mm mounting plate for the pan and tilt head. The Tairon has an elegant 42mm crown. The set screws on my mounting plate were outside the diameter of the Tarion tripod head. The solution was to replace my center speaker with an extension speaker. The second problem is that the pivot is offset by half a step and there is no way to fix it. It is tilted either 4-1/2 degrees up or 4-1/2 degrees down. It came with a nice canvas weight bag but I preferred they spend the money on the right pivot. Great idea but extremely poor execution and total lack of quality control.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Something else
