Happy Sunday! Which tripod do you have? I own a few but this one is the best one yet. Super complete! Comment below with yours. I would love to know! 😍

Great video thanks.

One problem with hanging the bag on the hook outdoors is that the wind can catch the bag and start it swinging and acting like a pendulum. This can roick the centre column and change the centre of balance for the tripod causing it all to sway and starts move the camera slightly.

A better way would be to get a tripod net which attaches to all three legs low down and put your bag on that. As the net (and therefore the nag sitting on it) is connected to all three legs it won't sway like it would hanking from a single centre point.

Another way would be to lie the bag on the ground and use a cord or rope to tie the centre hook to the bag top handle. Pull the rope tight enough so that the bag is ALMOST verticaql but still sitting on the ground. Although the weight is shared between the ropoe ad the bit of the bag touching the ground, the friction between the bag and the ground will stop it from swinging.

Very hands-on, practical, straight-to-the-point review. She does what she presents. Thank you very much for this review, Laura!

Laura I'm so glad I ran into your videos u inspire me so much with your knowledge. I was about to give photography up until I saw you and what u say if so clear and understanding u are wonderful. I love photography I do portrait but I can't afford the lenses I need but I'm getting back to photography because of you thank you for sharing your knowledge with us..

[artiecisneros]

It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Thanks for all the info concerning this tripod. Checks all the boxes for sure.

Great video, that tripod is so good, I didn’t realise it had so many features. It would have been good to see you use it as a hiking stick in your last video 😂 love how versatile it is, love the fact it has a ball head so you can rotate the camera rather than having to always rotate the tripod. Thanks you for your excellent video, I needed a new tripod as well 😊

[jvkperspective]

Great Video!
I was researching tripods a while ago and ended up with the version of this tripod which has 5 segments instead of the 4 segment version you have here. It folds down a bit smaller for hiking :)
The only thing I don't like is the plastic insert they use for the mechanism to hold the centre column. It is fiddly to adjust the hight or reverse it. I started just folding the legs the other way round instead of reversing the column for macro shots where I need the camera close to the ground.

That's a great tripod. I currently have the one just a step below this. I love it completely.

Hi Laura, Thanks for your insight. The K&F has one unique trick up it's sleeve, which is the horizontal column and to my mind that is very specialized and I would bet you cannot go horizontal with your 105 lens & camera without hanging a 30 kilo sand bag on the opposite end making it specific for studio work, yet you gave examples of traveling and backpacking. When you are treking in the mountains and forests there are a couple important features that exceeds the importance of something like a horizontal column or conversion to a monopod. Those are weight and ability to deal with all weather or environment shooting conditions. I have a MeFoto Aluminum tripod that was a special edition with the leather wrapped legs. Huge waste of nearly $300 for those two reasons that it fails at. It's heavy and I cannot plant it in a stream in the mountains or in the surf at a beach.

I have a Manfrotto Monopod, and used it twice, I think over 15 years. The aforementioned MeFoto I removed the leg once for a monopod with the Tamron 150-600 and will never use a monopod ever again.

I have a LeoFoto Wings tripod, variation Lucifer as the Carbon Fiber and all the hardware is black. The Gabriel variation is all silver carbon fiber and hardware. This tripod can be used with or without the center column which has a fast change out between the tripod base plate or center column and I have a quick change plate to move the ball head seemlessly to either setup. It's light, can be planted in sandy, salty surf with zero problems as the leg sections are sealed against the elements. In addition all the optional features like magic arms the can mount to the leg collar to put a teathered tablet.

This tripod will last and is very light and sealed against the elements. Yes, it was expensive, but I've spent more on all these other Aluminum pretenders than I did on this great carbon fiber tripod that came with a great travel case.

I'm sure the K&F might be a good swiss army knife. But, like they say, I'll take the "Master" of one versus the "Rookie" of many, and honestly, I would bet that maybe 20% would need those extra features while sacrificing weight and endurance.

Cheers!

Very informative!! Thank you!! i need to upgrade my sticks!! Thanks for the K&F review! Keep up the great videos!

[michellehenry]

I really love how you explain things ...this tripod is amazing

[DavidShoshitashvili]

Great review! This tripod is really amazing for its price. I have this tripod and I love it. It feels a bit cheap compared to the Benro tripod that I also have, but K&F tripod costs half and has much more features.

[dalloiselle]

I just bought this tripod. It’s great. Thank you. ❤

[rberto]

My first tripod rule: I set-up the tripod then I climb on it. If it holds me, I'll trust it with my gear.

[bbhs]

Wonderful video thank you! I was so tired of having to have all the attachments for my old tripod to make it work for different shoots!

[prizepictures]

This is absolutely a mesmerizing find! I am impressed by you and inspired. I gotta have one but I’m not in the market right now. Maybe if I could sell the current tripod I have it would give me a boost. I think the one I have would have low resale value, however. I’m going to need to sit with this but I am honestly grateful for you and your diligence!

[pandabytes]

I don't know if I'm deaf or it just wasn't discussed, but a tripod like the one featured in the video tends to not fare as well for long exposure photography. Yes, it works well for framing assistance and taking the weight of those very large camera systems. However, that center column can put your system into positions that introduces just enough instability that a ten or fifteen plus minute exposure is not as sharp as you may have been expecting... at least as I remember learning all those years ago. If you do use a tripod like that for long exposures, I would do my best to weigh it down as much as possible to minimize the risk of any slight camera shakes.
If you are wondering why that might be a thing, it comes down to that column creating enough leverage to start introducing system instability. Think of two similar pyramids, both have identical bases, but one is 50% taller. That extra height with the same base will act as leverage, allowing the taller pyramid to rock more than the shorter one.

Thank you, Laura. I like K&F and have one of their smaller tripods. This one looks a little large to strap to my motorcycle but I do like the height.
