What is the traverse in mils for the Mils medium MG tripod?

• A. 800 mils
• B. 875 mils (425 R; 450 L)
• C. 875 mils (450 R; 425 L)
• D. 900 mils

Answer: (B)

Traverse is the horizontal sweep the Mils medium MG tripod can perform, measured in mils (1/6400 of a circle). For this tripod, the official specification gives a total traverse of 875 mils, with the right limit at 425 mils and the left limit at 450 mils. This asymmetry comes from the mounting and aiming mechanism of the tripod, so the sweep to the right isn’t the same as the sweep to the left, yet they add up to 875 mils overall. In degrees, 875 mils is about 49.2°, with roughly 23.9° to the right and 25.3° to the left.
