Loved the little pouch it came in - the quality is evident from the moment you take it out

I bought the carbon tripod because I finally wanted a ball head :-). The tripod is incredibly light and remains very stable. The screw caps can be easily opened and then securely fastened again. The camera sits perfectly on the ball joint and is then super adjustable. The fixing screws are easy to move and yet very easy to fix.

When the camera is attached to the ball head mount with the plate, the spirit level is on the side of the screen, where it suits me. BUT the wheel to fix the plate is then on the side of the lens. With my Sigma, however, the rotary knob is almost on the lens. There are only tenths to hundredths between the rotary knob and the lens.

Otherwise the tripod is a recommendation:

- Weight
- stability
- size
- flexibility
- rapid deployment

This is perfect for anyone who doesn't want to buy a case that is made specifically for different lens mount systems (Newer, Moment, etc) and just wants to be able to pop a filter on their phone quickly with any case, or no case at all. The magnetic ring is perfect to swap out various ND Filters and stack them for whatever scenario. Over time, I've found the K&F filters to be of pretty consistent quality and definitely useful in any situation.

Admittedly, the system of magnetic filters is not entirely new and I cannot say who copied from whom, but I already know K&F from their very good lens adapters and solid tripods. And since I've been flirting with magnetic round filters for a long time, but up to now the prices for such a system have seemed too steep to me, I was of course interested that K&F now also offers something like this.
You can read in my review whether the magnetic K&F round filters were able to convince me or whether the low price demands too many sacrifices here...

So far I have used screw-in filters from Rodenstock, B+W, Heliopan and Haida. So everything is more of a brand where a filter likes to cost what K&F wants here for a complete set including a bag. I was therefore very skeptical about what to expect, also because K&F advertises with Schott glass (hardened and therefore very robust) and 16-fold nano sealing. That sounds surprisingly good at first, but it doesn't have to mean anything in practice, because in the end it's always the optical performance that counts, no matter how great the handling advantages are.

Which is actually better, round filters or a 100mm filter system with plate filters, this question will certainly be asked by everyone who gets into the subject of filter photography. So far, round filters have always had to be screwed into the front thread of the lens, which can be very cumbersome depending on the situation and the lens. Even when several filters were combined, each one had to be screwed onto the previous one individually, which in turn very quickly leads to vignetting, at least whenever the filters have the same diameter as the lens. Therefore, a 100mm or even 150mm plate filter system has always been the first choice for professionals.

But now the topic of round filters has been revolutionized by the introduction of magnetic filters. Changing filters has become so simple that the handling advantage of plate filters no longer exists for me. On the contrary, with plate filters I always have to be extremely careful not to accidentally grab them (fingerprints) and that unfortunately happens very quickly when taking them out of the bag or putting them in the holder. Unlike here with a round filter with its metal frame. Of course it can also happen here that you accidentally touch the glass, but the risk is much smaller and round filters are much more robust. Anyone who has ever dropped a plate filter will know what I mean

The camera sits great on the ball head and is then super adjustable. The fixing screws are smooth-running and yet very easy to fix. 1.: Unfortunately for me there are 2 small weaknesses in the product: The clamps for adjusting the tripod feet rattle incredibly. I always have to worry that the clamps will fall off. 2.: When the camera is attached to the plate on the ball head mount, the spirit level is on the side of the display, which I think is ok. BUT the knob for attaching the plate is then on the side of the lens. With my Sigma, however, the rotary knob is almost on the lens. There are only 10ths to 100ths between the rotary knob and the lens. I find this ugly.Otherwise, the tripod is a recommendation.Positive:-Weight-Stability-Size-Flexibility-faster useNegative:-Clamp to adjust the tripod legs rattle-Setting screw for attaching the mounting plate camera/ball head very, very, very tight to the Tripods from SigmaNevertheless a clear recommendation on my part.

I'm really no expert when it comes to filters, but of the dozen or so I own this is far and away the highest quality. You can feel the build quality the moment you screw it to the lens. It's incredibly lightweight but doesn't feel at all flimsy, and the threading allows for super smooth application and removal.I use polarizing filters more than any other as I live in a country that has near constant sunshine, so I've had plenty of chances to test this filter since I received it. The results have been just as good as I'd expect given the price. This thing beats the pants off my cheaper filters.

lost my original adapter plate on a trip and ordered this. The delivery was on time and it fits exactly as it should on the tripod. Satisfied.
