I'm a tripod guy - I have at least a dozen. I have compact models for travel, large rugged models when I need a rugged model, carbon fiber, aluminum and a combination. After using this tripod a few times, you'll find that whoever designed it took the best qualities of several tripods and combined them here - although some have escaped them.

All dials and buttons are aluminum, not plastic. This is really nice and adds years to the life of the tripod. Plastic buttons eventually break. They break if bumped too hard. Aluminum has dents or scratches, but it doesn't shatter like plastic.

All hardware (connecting screws, nuts, bolts) is rust-free.

The included ball head is pretty damn nice too. It has the thicker 3/8-24 thread typical of a tripod head. The plate is an Arca-Swiss style sliding plate and the camera screw has a built in thumb lock for hand tightening. No tools (or coins) are required. The plate can be detached and slid back and forth, but will not slip off the head. It takes almost two full turns of the locking knob to fully disengage the panel. Kind. There is also a built-in soap scale. The ball mechanism is in a Teflon pocket and is therefore smooth-running.

At the top of the tripod (where the head attaches) is a reversible screw - 1/4-20 for cameras or 3/8-24 for tripod heads. The top orange collar ensures it stays in place. It's all hand tightened, so it's possible to twist the ball head off without realizing it. There are no locking screws to fix the tripod head. The best way to attach the head is to remove the double ended screw and collar. On the tripod head, loosen the large locking wheel and move the plate to the 45-degree position (so it sticks in the notch.) Turn the tripod mounting screw until it stops — it's actually pushing against the ball at this point. Now turn up the orange collar. Loosen the screw half a turn. Tighten the collar as tight as possible (no tools!) Now twist and tighten on your head. You'll find that it's a lot harder to accidentally spin off.

Anyway, a great tripod, a little heavier compared to compact or carbon fiber models, but a good choice for all-round use. Also, it is very convenient to switch to a monopod in less than a minute.

I bought this for my husband and he absolutely loved it!!

I tested on my dog, very funny photo but shows how good the camera is.

learned thanks to my dog that dog hair gets caught in my ears. That's great. Amazing image quality and the ability to save to an SD card. Since it's wired, there are no latency or connectivity issues. However, due to some witchcraft, you can't use it on your PC or with your smartphone, even though it uses a USB-C connection. OH WELL. I just can't get over how awesome this thing is and absurd for $80. I would 100% recommend it especially if like me you have suffered from ear problems in the past. I had tubes in my ears due to drainage issues and chronic ear infections. I don't get ear infections as often as an adult, but if I leave water in it after a shower, my ears tell me it was a mistake. So... a valuable tool at an amazing price. I've tried the ear cleaning attachments, but not only can I get by with the inverted controls on the x-axis, but also on the y-axis. This can possibly be solved by simply turning the machine upside down. I don't know why I thought of this simple solution just now. What ever. Not important. The main function is that it is a scope. The screen is dense enough that images look nice and clear. It's just amazing that you can buy something of this quality for $80.

Great Outdoor Surveillance Camera. We got one to keep an eye on our dog during the day. The subscription plan is reasonable when compared to other companies (like Arlo etc) and only needed if you want to have access to stored videos. Given the camera should cost a lot more the sub is very affordable.
We have multiple ring cameras in our house and being able to pay one sub for access to all is good value.

The integrated K&F adapter collar also enables the aperture to be set manually with the Nikon AF zoom lens. Unfortunately no aperture scaling. Processing is high quality and a perfect fit.

Great useful tool when treasure hunting.

I bought this as an alternative to a wifi security camera for the dog while in her pen when we aren't home or around. I figured that a trail camera would work best due to the ruggedness of trail cameras and the above average night vision and settings. Currently I have it hooked up to a battery backup solor panel and it works great. Video is set to 2k and it looks really good. There is a small clip of the 2k video in this review. The setup process was a little frustrating but it's doable and hasn't given me any issues. Highly recommend this product.
