When going out for a photo walk you don't always want to be encumbered by a backpack, especially if you are taking minimal gear with you, a camera sling is a nice compromise. I have bought filters from K&F Concept for some time now and always found them to be of good quality and a reasonable price, so when I was offered this to review this bag from them I jumped at the chance, I wasn't paid to do this and this is my honest opinion of usability and quality. The bag is well made with possibly the strongest internal pads I have ever seen in a bag of this size, perfect for keeping a small camera and a pair of lenses both protected and in place. There are 2 main zipped pockets that provide ample space for a phone, spare batteries and the other odds and ends you generally carry around when on a photowalk. The outside of the bag is wipe clean and I'd definitely showerproof, I took it out yesterday in light rain and had no issues with my kit getting wet and imagine it could probably take a heavier downpour without breaking a sweat. On the underside of the bag are the obligatory straps for a small tripod, whilst I tried mine for size it isn't something I normally have with me on an urban shoot which is what I feel this bag is best suited to so I can't comment on how comfortable it would be to carry with one attached a full days shooting. With the kit shown in the photo though it was very comfortable and for once I didn't get any neck pain, something that can be problematic with small camera bags. Whilst I haven't used it for my drone yet I can confirm that it easily takes my Mini 3 pro, 4 batteries with charger and controller, and affords more protection than the OE drone bag.

I own the following tripod: Rangers Camera Tripod, 141cm Aluminum Travel Tripod Photo Tripod with 360° Panorama Ball Head, Ultra Compact and Lightweight Design, Ideal for outdoor travel and photography.
Unfortunately, I had to invest in a new ball head for this due to loss of the quick release plate (I guess there is no extra). After contact and inquiry I was assured that this also fits on tripod described above. -> everything is fine. Now I can use everything again.

Very good tripod strong easy to carry anywhere And can hold large cameras.

I've been looking for a suitable photo backpack for a long time, which will meet my current and future requirements. With the K&F backpack in size L, I finally seem to have found a stroke of luck. I will divide my review into the following points: 1. Processing2. Space offer3. wearing comfort1. Workmanship The backpack made a valuable impression as soon as it was unpacked. The zippers are all smooth-running, the seams are well finished. The solution on which the lower tripod holder can be stowed away and the hip belt can be removed is also convincing. The Velcro fasteners used here are great! I also like the option of turning the chest strap upside down to attach it to a Troli. When you look inside, you immediately notice that all compartments are well padded. Both the front compartments for the camera and equipment as well as the laptop compartment at the back. The quick access at the top is also practical, even if it is not an extra access, but only the normal zipper of the main compartment, which is locked by the side straps.2. Space The following things must now be accommodated: 14-inch Ultrabook from Lenovo including charging cable, keychain, wallet, a 2.5-inch hard drive, Lumix G81 including 12-60mm and 45-140mm lens, a flash unit, charger for the camera and flash batteries, various Filter sets (ND, color gradient, grey, CPL and UV), the supplied cleaning set & rain cape, an A5 block, mobile phone charger, the shoulder strap of the camera, a bag with various accessories for the tripod & the tripod itself. In the future 2 lenses will be added, which are just being purchased. As can be seen in my attached photos, the backpack offers enough space for all of this, on the outside you can also carry a bottle with a drink on each side, which was particularly important for me, since I like to do my photo tours a little longer. I also have enough space to have a small first aid kit with me on longer photo tours, just in case.3. Carrying comfort I haven't been able to test the backpack under real conditions on a photo tour, but after receiving it and admitting it, I tried to reproduce it as best I could. Therefore: Everything clean, two additional bottles of water on the side and different clothing combinations. First of all, according to the current season, sweater & thick jacket; at first I was concerned that it could lead to problems here due to my physique (186cm, 100 kg), but that was not the case. All straps are long enough to be properly adjusted. Even if you don't feel everything directly through the thick jacket anyway, I found it very comfortable to have the backpack on my back and didn't feel any restrictions on my freedom of movement. I then tested it with a more airy combination for spring/summer; T-shirt and rain poncho. Again, no restrictions. Of course I had to adjust the straps a bit, but that's normal. The backpack was still easy to carry and didn't restrict anything. Last but not least, the endurance test: just a T-shirt; The backpack is convincing here too, it doesn't scratch or chafe, it doesn't cut in under the arms either. It also seems to give me the impression that it doesn't stick to you right away when you start sweating in summer at higher temperatures, but I can only judge this exactly after the test in summer. I will then adjust the review again if necessary. All in all, the backpack from K&F is well thought out, protects the equipment very well from external influences and is super easy to carry. I'm already looking forward to the first big tour at the end of next month when we go on tour for a day. I will then expand the review again with any points that may arise.

I've used this for all photo needs - its a breeze to use, very sturdy and compact

So first, I want to lay the foundations of my opinion: I am a very regular user of tripods of all kinds, large video, small travel, flash media, for macro. It's no less than 10 different models, of all brands, which allow me to be adapted for the type of output but above all to be able to use them all at the same time on multi-angle and multi-flash photo studios.

I wanted to try my luck with this model for its price already, but also for its very advantageous size/compactness ratio, and above all because I have already had a VERY good feedback when buying filters from the same K& brand. ;F. You should know that the service offered by the brand here is incredible... and I find more or less what made Benro so successful 15 years ago. Indeed, everything is done to offer the best package at a fairly low price.

So for the price, what do we have here: a 4-section aluminum tripod plus a 2-section central column. The foot sections are tightened by an anti-twist plastic butterfly clip, a point that is very important when it comes to having an ultra-simple and ultra-fast set-up. Then, there is a ball joint with panoramic axis and clamping of the separate ball. Here again everything is done for an ultra-fast installation since it will only take two turns to tighten everything in a very ergonomic way (a butterfly clip and not a simple non-slip ring).

Another point for which I didn't expect much and which nevertheless pleasantly surprised me: the foot which comes off as a monopod is VERY well built, with the lower part which interlocks over several mm and thus secures the attachment. The set is high, VERY high, and to gain in performance you should not hesitate to lower each section of the lower part. It's a great way to gain stiffness.

Speaking of rigidity, you should know that it is aluminum... and that unlike carbon, its resistance to vibrations is lower. And indeed it is felt on the ground when the tripod is completely unfolded. A piece of advice therefore, do not hesitate to reduce the top to improve the durability of the equipment. I was able to use this tripod with a 1Dx and a 200 1.8 without any problems even when placing everything in landscape mode. Yet it was not won because this set weighs more than 4kgs.

Regarding the weight of this tripod precisely: it is a good success for aluminum because I have about 100g the same weight as for my benro C265M8 in carbon and which does not go up as high. Added to that an extremely well built carrying case (a VERY good point! with good closures, quality stitching and a well thought out design of handles and strap). Frankly a lot of more expensive brands don't do as well.

But hey, nothing is perfect from perfect, and as said given the low asking price it was necessary to make a small concession. And for me the biggest difficulty was not to find a short column in the floor. Results ? In normal use the minimum height is approximately 30cm. It's not bad, of course, but for anyone looking to lie down on the ground, it's still too much.

In short, we are close to perfection with this tripod given the asking price! Now, on a personal level, I use it mainly for quiet outings for which I won't need a heavy tripod with a video ball head... but sometimes a tripod can save an image from difficult conditions... and this model does the job perfectly: versatile, light, transportable, very large without forgetting that it uses universal standard arca bindings! Highly recommended therefore!

And to illustrate my words, I add a small photo taken the evening of writing my test. On photo output, at nightfall... this tripod saved my day because it would have been impossible to take this image of a heron without a support (long exposure of almost 2 seconds with 1Dx + 200 1.8!)

Very happy then! And once again this little unknown brand with a bright future in my opinion!

Easy to adjust and carry. The best tripod I've owned.

What makes this tripod most valuable is it's light weight, compactness and portability. It's not my favorite tripod I own, but it's my favorite tripod to grab and go or travel with. Compared to traditional tripods, this thing is half the carry size and way lighter.LIKES:-Size!!! It's so compact and has no bulk. Easy to stash away.-Weight. Very light and easy to carry.-Small but highly functional camera mount. -Ball head locks super tight with a simple thumb lever. -360* panoramic head with separate tightening knob-Nice carry case with interior pocket.DISLIKES:-A little unstable, especially at small bottom legs, at full expansion-Not a big fan of twist thread locks on the legs. Personal preference of thumb latches.-Fold down arm locks are the pull out/push in type. Prefer the push release ones.-All the moving mechanisms are a little stiff, but i think they'll work in nicely.OVERALL:Perhaps a little nit-picky to give it 4 stars. If you're looking for the most compact and light weight full size tripod, this is 5 stars! But it just lacks some 5 star features and overall quality, but it is right there and a great tripod!
