An awesome tripod and grip for smart phones, point n shoot and small DSLR cameras. Maybe a light Canon Ra mirrorless series with a small lens. As camera weight goes up usable extension goes down with less control and swaying. Here are some weight numbers to play with. I use an iPhone 14 Pro Max (240g) and a Canon G7 X (304g) at full extension. An older Canon Rebel SL1 DSLR with 24mm EF-5 lens (532g) with 4 and with a heavy 18-135mm EF-S lens (857g) 3 extensions. Go with a Zhiyun Smooth 5S Gimbal with iPhone 14 Pro Max (865g) for 3 extensions.

Outside with the full 62 inch extension in the wind smart phones and even GoPro cameras will move around some. Think about ropes to secure it if you need the height for a shot or lower the extensions for a more stable platform. Indoors with a robust tripod I have no fear putting the most expensive iPhone ever made on it.

As weight goes up the weakness is the 180 degree control head with a smooth locking surface. As tight as possible this can slip with heavier loads especially with a motorized gimbal moving around. The solution would be a control head with a geared locking surface and even better a metal version that would eliminate any slippage as well as no worries when adding accessories to the setup.

Maybe next year Eucos will come up with a 'Pro' version having an improved gear locking head for a little more cost. If not maybe they could provide a removal control head so we can replace it with a Manfroto version. They have already nailed so many issues we look for in a tripod as with strength and durability in such a small reasonably light package especially running around a mountaintop with a backpack of camera gear.

For now with light cameras this needs to be in your arsenal of tools making great videos when an expensive gimbal takes time to setup while this can do a lot of the same movements as you are the gimbal. It is so very well balanced forget all those other grip solutions for a smart phone or whatever you use. Go with the best tripod and grip at the moment then make great videos.

now have 6 lamps with almost identical function and size to this lamp, so I will refer to my experiences with those lamps for comparison. This is a small battery LED (bi-color and fully RGB) with probably the coolest design of all the lights I have, and very simple operating modes. This version of the light is stealth black on black on the back so if someone tries to use it the first time it's hard to read what each button does, but it looks cool and doesn't have the bright white paint if that happens in the picture. I would like the scrolling of the buttons to provide faster action (e.g. it takes a while to scroll to 100% or to 1%) and I feel like the brightness isn't as strong as some of my other similar lamps, but the color temperature measures very accurately and the battery seems to last very well. I have pictured the LEDs at 4000K with 1% brightness to show the number of LEDs and arrangement. I've owned MANY K&F products over the years, including tons of ND and VND filters, tripods, etc., and these lights fit the same high-end build quality as the other K&F products. There are two magenta on the back that you can slightly see through the transparent back. They hold REALLY well on nice flat metal surfaces, but even on a round post they can hold if placed properly. It comes with 1/4 20 screw holes on the top and bottom, and a 1/4 20 cold shoe holder is included. It's worth noting that there is no cold shoe slot built into the lamp itself (for stacking lamps), so you'll need a 1/4 20 to 1/4 20 screw to connect two together. Not a deal breaker, but I often plug my lights in during storage to keep them all together. The overall performance is great, and the build quality and style (if that matters) can't be beat. These are beautiful lights!

really love this LED Light personally! When purchasing, I was just looking for an LED light for me to take better pictures in dim lighting conditions. But after receiving it, I immediately fell in love with it! IT IS SO CUTE! The package is like a tofu and I really like the design: big text on the back, and the orange-yellow knobs on the side. The knobs have clear feedback at each location and I can really see all the different light that I easily control! I was also surprised by the 21 interesting lighting effects. They are so vivid! I kept playing with it for an hour and the joy it brought to me was way more than just an LED light. It made my day!

This is not my first video light, and I’m sure this is a good video light. Color of RGB can be changed easily and the battery last relatively long, at least 2 hours as I tested. Will buy the second one if needed.

What an incredible battery! Whether it's to power your camera... a small LED light (I used it on a USB-C folding panel, nickel) or any accessory on a shoot (of course it charges a phone) it works really well! K&F becomes a real reference in this field

As someone who makes YouTube videos, I’ve accumulated a lot of little RGB lights over the years, but this is by far the coolest, I’ve seen. The overall design is similar to what you’re used to in that it has a CCT mode, RGB mode and some pre-set scene modes, but it’s the overall execution of how these are employed that really sets this little light apart from the others. The style is quirky and cool. It comes in a package that literally looks like a box of tofu. And where others would have boring buttons or sliders, this light uses giant knobs on the side have a fun retro-modern kind of vibe that actually work just as good as they look. From the bottom knob, you can switch it on, turn to CCT mode, RGB mode or the scene modes. The top button allows you to change the intensity of the settings in the various modes, i.e.: brightness, saturation, etc. And of course there’s a magnetic back and not one, but two tripod mounts - one on the bottom and one on the top. This is a really well-designed little RGB light that stands out in a crowded market place of similar lights. This light both looks great and works great - definitely would recommend.

light weight and led light vs warm light

This is the best camera to use outside that I have found for a low price . It has a very solid metal case and weather proof so heavy rains or snows will not be a problem. The video quality is excellent . The infrared LED's light up a lot more area at night than I would have ever imagined. Since I am powering this remotely with a solar setup I like the fact that I can turn the LED's off using a setting in the app to conserve energy during low light times in winter. I was truly surprised by the quality of this camera - there are lots of other brands for indoors that are pretty good but nothing compares to this truly outdoor weather proof camera at this price. And yes it is easy to adjust and install .
