Just great
I bought this tripod to complement the newly acquired Canon M50. I have different tripods for different devices, but I wanted something better for the camera. I was also interested in a special feature of this tripod that you don't always find. More on that in a moment. Delivered quickly and packaged quite small, which surprised me at first, the tripod arrived. Since it was designed as a travel tripod, it is sold with a small, sturdy bag. It fits in here exactly if it is folded up correctly . More on that in a moment. The three telescopic legs can be extended three times. They are locked with a twist lock. This holds rock-solid and can be easily adjusted. At the ends are small rubber feet that guarantee a non-slip, stable stand. The angle of inclination of the legs to the center column is adjusted with a lock that can be easily released. This also allows the legs to be completely upside down on the center column. This setting is required for two different settings, and these are the two I mentioned at the beginning. Firstly, the tripod can be folded up smaller than if you only used the three legs fully retracted. And only then and after another little trick does it also fit in the pocket. (Instructions are included) On the other hand, this is necessary if you want to use the option I mentioned, which is not so often found with tripods. The center column can be removed and inserted the wrong way around, allowing the camera to be attached under the tripod, for example for shots from below or close to the ground. This is very practical and opens up completely new possibilities for camera adjustment. The center column itself can be extended twice, with another joint sitting in the middle. This allows the upper part of the center column and the head to be adjusted at an angle from vertical to 90 degrees stepless incline. At a 90-degree angle, the camera looks down vertically from above at a corresponding subject. This option was important to me personally. If I wanted to have this setting, it was and is always a fiddly thing with my other tripods. This ball joint can also be rotated around its own axis on the center column and also locked. At the end is the completely removable and exchangeable head also a locking possibility around its own axis, as well as another ball joint, with which the mounting plate can be rotated 360 degrees and tilted slightly. There is also a recess at one point, with which you can then tilt 90 degrees. All of this is securely fastened with a locking screw. For better orientation and adjustment, the head has a degree marking with an arrow. The camera mount is equipped with a small spirit level and a quick release for the camera. (with bow on the screw) This is inserted into two jaws and tightened. It's very simple and holds up great. I have different forms of this mount on my tripods and I like the one from K&F best. The tripod can be extended up to 154 cm and weighs 1.6 kg. The detachable head can be used in conjunction with also use one of the legs as a monopod. the build quality and the price go well together. I am very satisfied with the tripod, I use it not only for photography but also for filming. It can be stowed away to save space and is correspondingly comfortable when travelling. I am very satisfied with it and can only recommend it.
