I'm a part-time photographer, I mainly do architectural and interior photography, but whenever I can I like to look for locations for landscape, nature, long exposure and night photography.
Buying a tripod online without being able to test it is risky, but 3 or 4 years ago I started to trust the K&F Concept brand and to date they have not disappointed me. I have a backpack, filters, LED lights and even other travel tripods that I love. So I decided to try this model, which also has an incredible working height.
I have yet to find the ideal day to try it out on a long exposure photo of the Milky Way, but from what I've tried so far it seems like a perfect tripod for anything at a pretty reasonable price.
I like it because stretching out the legs puts the camera at eye level (I'm 6'1") and raising the last section of each leg puts the camera at an excellent height for shooting indoors (about 4'1") . In addition, it features a central column with two sections that, in addition to gaining height, can be rotated 90 and left completely horizontal. As you can see in one of the photos, when fully extended and vertical, the tripod is the height of a mini basketball hoop (about 8 feet). The head is very fluid and I find it perfect for tracking and panning for videos.
It features 4 sections on each leg, plus one of the legs can be easily detached and used as a monopod. The head is resilient and supports SLR cameras with professional lenses, up to 10 kg, in my case with my heaviest camera and lens, it doesn't even get dirty.
It wouldn't be uncommon for other brands to charge double the price to have the same thing. Highly recommended.
