As a beginner photographer, I couldn't convince myself to spend the $100 plus for a Peak design, or one of those other pretty bags, so I tried out multiple bags under $50. I got to say this bag by K&F design is the one. This black edition is just dead gorgeous. Looks a lot better in person. The stiff divider compliments the bag very well. Roomy and yet not bulky. I'm definitely keeping this one!

Holds up my Canon EOS M50 just fine. I also like that it came with an adapter. When I tried to screw the ball head on my tripod, it was too big. I was frustrated as I really needed to use the ball head and I was thinking I had to return it. But then I found the adapter in the package, screwed it into the ball head, then attached to my tripod. Easy peasy.

I had looked at this and the Peak Design and decided to get this one. It fits my Sony camera, filters, batteries, charger. It has an extra strap that allowed me to bring along my small tripod. Very handy.

I’ve had this for a few weeks and have used it on a couple of hill walks in the Peak District. The tripod is really light yet sturdy and so make it ideal for strapping onto my backpack. The only issue I’ve had (and it’s minor) is that one of the feet nearly came off - it has unscrewed without my knowledge and might have dropped off had I not noticed. I’ll probably hit it with some Loctite to stop it happening again.

Overall, highly recommended - I really like K&F products and this is another great item

So far I’m highly impressed. I do have a 20L peak design backpack, but I find myself running out of space. Plus that bag is really more like 15L. This holds my A7iii with 35mm attached. My entire drone set up, plus my MacBook 13 and iPad 12.9. And that’s without using the extra storage.

The tripod is two pounds lighter than the one I had been using and much shorter when collapsed. I really like that! However, when I tilt the camera head towards the locking nut, there can be interference with the base of the quick release plate. I've discovered that you can pull out the spring loaded handle to reset its location but there are two issues with doing that. 1. Its tedious and with my big hands, hard to get in there, and; 2. I'm right handed and it seems like the handle was placed on the wrong side. I have to work it with my left hand. Turning the camera around to swing the handle to the right puts it ahead of the camera where it's difficult to see, not to mention that the ball slot (used to clear the ball stem and tilt the camera forward) is now at the back of the camera. Pretty much useless there unless you take photos of the sky. I considered swapping out the Manfrotto ball head from my other tripod as it has the tightening handle at the rear, easily accessible but I felt like I would lose the weight advantage. So, I probably wouldn't have bought this if I had know how inconveniently placed all the control/tightening handles were, but again, I do like the weight savings.WEEKS LATER: After using this tripod for awhile I’m getting used to avoiding the design issues that caused the interference. However as a product designer myself I recognize that “workaround” should not be in a design engineers vocabulary. K&F contacted me and told me they have discussed the design issues with the team. As a result I’ve added a star to the rating.

Unfortunately only 3 stars because the quick-release plate is probably a bad design, it can still be moved even with the adapter plate closed and the camera almost slipped out
