K&F Concept® Professional Portable Tripod Model 1+ Scope of delivery: - Tripod - Carrying bag - Operating instructions (English, Chinese)+ Design: The Tripod Model 1 makes a valuable impression after unpacking. The workmanship is very good. Everything is cleanly processed and there are no sharp burrs or edges. The dominant color is black, some parts are gold-colored, which gives the tripod an elegant look. In addition to the tripod, there is a carrying bag. This is very stable and can be worn or used as a shoulder bag. The processing is absolutely flawless. What is also noticeable about the carrying case is that the side walls of the carrying case are very thickly lined, so that parts of the tripod do not press uncomfortably on the body when carrying it. Even with the carrying strap, a thick padding for the shoulder has not been forgotten. Otherwise, the tripod just fits in there. The tripod head is additionally protected by a velvety bag pulled over it.+ Operation: To set it up, the feet of the tripod head are folded down by 160°. At the top of the tripod base there is a button that allows the feet to lock at a certain angle. There are three possible positions in total. The tripod has a foam covering on one leg for quick carrying. So that it does not fall over in strong winds, it has a hook at the bottom where the feet meet, for attaching a weight, e.g. B. a sandbag. To adjust the height of the feet, there are three levers (leg clamps) at the bottom. This can be folded out and the tripod leg extended to the desired length. Then you turn the lever again and the leg is locked. This works very well and the feet snap into the desired position securely and firmly. There is a ring for adjusting the height of the center column, which is gold-colored in the upper part. If you turn it to the left, you can push the center column up or down after overcoming a resistance. The usual crank was omitted. There are three locking screws on the tripod head. The smaller bottom one allows the head to rotate 360 ​​degrees. There is also a grading in increments of 10. The lines are easy to see, the numbers 30, 60, 90 etc. are very small. A white triangle shows the set angle. The angle can be locked with the lower small adjusting screw. Further above there is a large adjusting screw. With it, the ball joint can be activated or fixed. If the ball joint is activated, the attachment with the camera (or other equipment) can be moved in any direction. At the top is the plate for attaching the camera. The mounting plate can be removed by turning the top adjustment wheel and attached to the thread on the underside of the camera. To tighten the screw, you can use a coin that fits into the slot in the screw. Now the plate can be put back on and tightened with the set screw. The camera then sits absolutely firmly on the tripod. So that the camera is aligned straight, there is a dragonfly. If the air bubble is exactly in the black circle, then the camera is correctly aligned horizontally. The camera can be panned left and right horizontally, or rotated 90 degrees vertically. There is also a slot on one side of the ball joint so that the camera can be tilted.+ Conclusion: the tripod is well made all round, stable and easy to use. The camera does not wobble, even if it is a bit heavier due to screwed on accessories (8 kg load capacity). 1.25kg weight is also not too heavy to carry around and the carrying case is also of good quality. The maximum height is 1.58 m. I can definitely recommend buying this camera. For higher demands, there are other model variants from the same dealer.
