Overall ok. Hard to tighten upper connectors to camera and to stop all movements. Needs weight to stabilize more. Manfrotto overall better tripod for $. Manfrotto packs to a smaller space and case.

Exactly what I was looking for and I like it better than my expensive Manfrotto like model I have.

Compact yet powerfully customizable, this LED panel lights up scenes for filming videos with traditional DSLRs. As a light for vlogging, the wide dynamic range and high CRI intensifies the range of movie shooting, creating more vibrant images, whether at 2500K to almost 9900K. This is because the built-in LED chips pass through a dense, softly diffused panel, minimizing harsh shadow effects and improving lighting. However, it is not without disadvantages: in particular, the reduced power consumption of 5W also reduces the intensity to less than 60 cm lighting range at the front. Combined with the only way to mount it is on traditional DSLRs using a hot shoe or a 1/4" socket, significantly reducing the ability to brighten scenes during live streaming, meetings or even filming outdoors. The effects are limited, but I did find the flash modes to be creatively useful. The lightweight plastic chassis is sleek and has aesthetic, tactile knobs for dials to adjust brightness, power and effect modes. Power consumption was around 9W on simultaneous charging or 4. .5W via a USB Type C plug. Although the brightness level of the LED chips feels quite dimly lit for a 5W LED panel, it is sufficient for close-range filming in a compact form factor. Mounting options are what limits this, as with camera video lights, as only 2x 1/4" connections can be attached to the top and bottom with an additional hot shoe conversion adapter.

Sure, extended to its full height outdoors, this isn't the sturdiest place to mount a camera. If you so much as breathe heavy on it, your camera will shake a bit. But for a commercial photography setting, this tripod has become a valuable part of my real estate kit. I have been using the Manfrotto XPRO series for years, and this tripod raises the functionality bar a whole step with the ability to invert the center column and shoot stable all the way to ground-level and even below if you need to shoot in a hole for some reason. I will still use my heavy aluminum X-PRO's for those windy days or when I'm sporting huge, heavy lenses like the Sigma150-600mm; but indoors and calm-air exteriors I've been shooting almost exclusively with this tripod in the week and a half since it arrived and I really like it. If it fails me at some point, I'll update.

If K&F were to make a beefier version of this model, I would try to be the first to order it. Double-thick legs and heavier locks plus the 8-foot reach and to-the-ground shooting would put the Manfrotto line to shame.

Great hand strap for my DSLRs or larger mirrorless cameras. I prefer a wrist strap to a neck strap for practical reasons, and this is a good one.

Simply put, this bag is incredible. It has enough storage for two DSLRs and a metric ton of accessories. The construction implies that the manufacturer wanted these to survive nuclear war with super stout stitching and additional security straps over ever compartment. The main camera pocket includes a small, removable camera bag which is perfect for breaking out without the entire kit! I know it’s a little spendy but, if you do remote shoots... you need this!! No really. You need it.

Very good, well made bag, very practical for camera etc.
