Good TRIPOD to start photography
Small tripod from the K&F Concept brand. First, you receive the tripod in its storage bag. The bag is 50cm long. A priori, it looks of good quality and in addition the bottom is reinforced, thick enough to prevent shocks. You can carry it with the small handles or you can equip it with the shoulder strap. There is also a small velvet bag which is provided. In terms of dimensions, when it is folded up, head down, it is 47cm. Otherwise when it is folded but this time head up, it is 60cm. On the weight side, it weighs 1kg 280g on my scale. The tubes, the branches are made of aluminum alloy with magnesium, which is supposed to make the material resistant to corrosion and abrasion. On one of the branches, there is a small non-slip sponge, which is rather comfortable to handle and it is true, outdoors, the metal can be very cold, and there, suddenly, we will be able to carry it there. In terms of use, it's quite simple. At the top of each branch, we have the angle adjustment. So there are three positions. You can also flip the column around to do a ground level, macro shot. You just have to unscrew the small hook with the rubber. We take out the column, and we go upside down. There is also a small support hook to weight the tripod. At the maximum height, when the 3 sections are extended and it is set on the first position, with the smallest angle, the tripod rises, from the ground to the top of the fluid head, at 159cm. On the ball joint side, there are two direction clamps. The first is pan rotation. Besides, there is a value scale. So it can be landmarks, for example to take a panoramic photo. Also when it is loosened, there is a resistance friction effect. So it can also allow in video to make fairly fluid panoramic movements. Then, the second tightening above, controls the ball joint and we also have the small notch for portrait mode at 90°; it's always a pleasure. And then above, classic, we have the fast plate. You have to unscrew to release it. Also there is the small tightening aid, it is very practical. It avoids using a part or damaging your thumb. And then there is also the small spirit level. If you don't like the ball joint, you can replace it. We can unscrew it. Then we have a 3/8'' screw, and then there, we can mount a new ball joint. I've been using it for a few months now. use for photo and video. No particular concerns so far. A good little tripod, for a first purchase. I recommend. I will keep this comment updated, if problems arise. If you found this comment useful, please click on yes, you will make me happy :)
