Q: 3. whats the diference midle spread o floor spread?

A: The spreader that you use with the Libec LX7 Tripod With Pan and Tilt Fluid Head and Floor Spreader is a personal preference. However, to provide more detail, ground spreaders are very stable and can go very low, making it easier to get to the desired height quickly, but they do get dirty. Also, ground spreaders will be more difficult to set up on uneven ground. Mid-level spreaders are good for uneven ground. While they are cleaner, mid-level spreaders are less stable and they require more adjustment when selecting the height and leveling your tripod legs.
