Blind date with a travel tripod
had the opportunity to test a travel tripod from K&F Concept. What particularly interested me was the weight, the quick-release fasteners on the legs, a working height that was comfortable for me, the handling of the ball head (I'm not a fan of it) and the price. When the tripod arrived I was immediately surprised... it comes in an easy-to-carry bag and the ball head is protected with a small pouch. An imbus and (admittedly) somewhat sparse instructions are also included. But … do you urgently need instructions for the tripod? The handling of the clamp closures is good and I quickly get the hang of it. So the tripod can be set up and taken down quickly. The removable plate is screwed under the camera as usual and is then NOT fastened with a quick release, but is screwed. But that works fine. The height is 1.33m and the center column allows it to be extended up to 1.56m. That's a tolerable working height for both me and Markus... and yeah, it's stable, even with the 5D on top. The ball head also held the weight of the 5D well ... can be easily adjusted so that I am even enthusiastic as a ball head anti. I did find a small flaw though. There's a bubble level on the tripod, but it's covered when the camera is mounted...that's a bit of a shame when you have to move the tripod. But you can get over it. The price is quite low at €70 ... but the quality of the tripod really surprised me. My conclusion: I have found a good and cheap seller ... I will definitely buy from K&F Concept again if I need something.
