Compared to cheap tripods.
Preface:
Hello friends, I have been practicing photography for about 2 years and it has also become my daily hobby. That's why I wanted to improve my old equipment. At the beginning, I had a tripod at 20 € and I acquired my first experience with it. Like many of you, I wanted more possibilities and more comfort in photography. Now I would like to describe my experiences and the differences with a $20 tripod for beginners. So you can make up your own mind about whether a more expensive tripod is worth it for you.
Quality and differences compared to cheap tripods:
After the product arrived, I noticed the first difference, the material of the bag was a little thicker and better. After unpacking the tripod, I checked the construction and clearance of the tripod. I have absolutely no complaints about the metal processing and this is to a very high standard. When you look at a few plastic items, you can tell that not everything has been processed perfectly. Compared to my cheap tripod, the legs can be unfolded individually, which I think gives me a lot more options. The ball joint can also be adjusted much easier, more precisely and above all more comfortably than that of my cheap one. Here I have to adjust 2 axes separately with the lever, which becomes a bit annoying in the long run. However, what most fascinated is the possibility that the tripod has turned around and is thus approaching very close to the ground. These possibilities are usually not offered with inexpensive tripods. So I can finally take calm macro shots and shoot from completely new perspectives. In addition, the dimensions of the pack were decisive for my purchase because I would like to use them while traveling. The attachment that screws into the camera has a very good rubber coating with a profile so that the camera does not reveal itself even if it is turned 90° on the tripod and is equipped with a great goal (definitely know this) . Due to its compact size, K&F has found a solution even for windy days, as this tripod is equipped with a hook at the lower end of the neck to which you can attach your bag or something similar. Overall, I see many advantages to this tripod over tripods in the lower price range:
+ Individually foldable legs = more possibilities
+ Adjust the ball joint for more comfort
+ smaller and lighter packaging
+ Overall very stable even with the extended handle
+ By turning the neck 180°, new perspectives are possible
+ Well thought-out design and convincing
