I have a love/hate relationship with this camera. At first I hated it; I had it up for months and it only took a handful of pictures. For my previous cams I mounted them at eye level (5.5 ft) with a slight tilt down and they took lots of pictures. This one has a very narrow trigger zone top to bottom and a very wide trigger zone left to right (wider than the camera frame). As a result of the narrow up/down trigger and being mounted at an angle, very few animals passed through that small zone. I moved the camera closer to the ground (3 ft) with no angle, facing straight out. Now it takes tons of pictures of deer (see attached). However it doesn’t capture any other animals. I think I might need to move it closer to the ground for hogs and coyotes. Daytime images are great. Nighttime images are overexposed with too much flash but still viewable. I guess I don’t love it, but like others have said, it’s ok for the price.

The Kentfaith Digital Camera is a budget-friendly option perfect for beginners and casual photographers. It features a 64 MP resolution for sharp images, and 16x digital zoom. The simple design and user-friendly connection make it easy to use, it also has a reasonably sized screen that is great for framing and reviewing shots. However, the camera struggles in low-light places, and the digital zoom can reduce image quality. Even with these drawbacks, it offers good value for its price, making it a solid choice for those new to photography and other beginners. And the fact that it is already provided with a 32GB SD card is good. Overall a great camera.

Excited to take some awesome holiday photos

The complete small set arrives in a small neutral box. In addition to the basic tripod, there is a small bag made of a kind of Oxford material with which you can transport the tripod. A small plastic bag also contains a small Bluetooth trigger with the associated strap and a screw-on holder for the smartphone. An operating manual for the tripod in English and Chinese as well as a small manual for the Bluetooth trigger complete the picture.

The basic tripod weighs around 890g without attachments, which is quite light for such a tripod.
Optimally folded, you reach a length of about 32cm and a diameter of about 10cm. Ideal to take with you on hikes or excursions.

The three legs can be folded down in three stages (approx. 30°, 45° and almost 90°). In this way, a minimum height of around 35cm can be achieved. The legs have three extensions that can be pulled out and locked in place. So you can balance the tripod very well on sloping and uneven floors. A small spirit level on the tripod would have been ideal for this, but unfortunately it was not used. The rubber foot must be turned to the left, then all three extensions are released and can be adjusted. The set length is locked by turning it briefly to the right. However, the structure of the legs and the lock is kept quite simple and does not make a very stable impression. During the test, it happened to me again and again that a segment or even a whole leg pushed itself back in.

If you pull out the three legs fully and spread them slightly, you will reach a height of around 107cm. The middle rod can also be set in three positions. Locking and releasing also works as with the tripod legs. If the middle rail is also fully extended, you get a maximum height of around 168cm, which is quite impressive for such a small tripod. When fully extended, however, the low weight becomes noticeable, the tripod is not very stable and tends to wobble slightly, especially in strong winds. It is therefore not suitable for long exposures.

To attach a camera or lighting fixture, the tripod has a simple ball head that can be continuously tilted up to 90°. Compact cameras, small bridge cameras or at most one small system camera can be easily and securely mounted on it, heavier cameras such as DSLR or video cameras are definitely too heavy for the system.

If you loosen the lower cover on the center drive, the middle rod can be removed and used as a selfie stick or small monopod

A smartphone can also be attached using the included adapter. This can be mounted either horizontally or upright, for which two tripod threads are available on the adapter. The mobile phone is attached by spring action, the retaining clips are rubberized. A minimum of 6cm and a maximum of almost 9.5cm width can be inserted as a smartphone.
The included trigger is also intended for use with a smartphone. Using Bluetooth, it can be easily integrated into a mobile phone as an input device. The two applied triggers are labeled Camera 360 - IOS and Android, but both buttons have the same function. With my cell phone, the shutter release didn't work at first, only the zoom was activated. After trying out the camera settings, I found the culprit. You had to change the function of the volume buttons from zoom to shutter, then it worked without any problems.

Very good digital camera for the price

Just picked this unit up and never pulled the trigger to buy one until now.

So far it has worked flawless still need to take some time to work that out. 5 stars as of now, time will tell....

This needs to be pretty close to the metal in order to trigger the detector. This is very portable, because it's small and packs away in a bag, so it would be great for going to the beach. It's a little hard to use on the ground (I had to crouch). You also need to be pretty close to the metal and this would not detect gold when the gold was on top of the plate, but not all metal detectors do.

Worked great for all my M42 lenses. Worked for even the lenses that have autofocus and need the trigger pushed by the flange to be able to adjust the aperture manually. My other M42 adapter does not have a flange to accommodate these lenses. Good build quality as well.
