Blind date with a travel tripod
had the opportunity to test a K&F Concept travel tripod. What particularly interested me was the weight, the quick fasteners on the legs, a comfortable working height 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 taken aback... it comes in an easy to carry bag and the spherical 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 fasteners is good and I quickly got the hang of it. Thus, the tripod can be set up and taken down quickly. The removable plate is screwed under the camera as usual and is NOT secured with a quick release but is screwed down. But this works fine. The height is 1.33m and the central column allows it to be extended up to 1.56m. That's a tolerable working height for me and Markus... and yes, it's stable, even with the 5D on top. The ball head also held the weight of the 5D well... it can be easily adjusted so that I am even excited as an anti ball head. I found a small glitch though. There is a bubble level on the tripod, but it gets covered when the camera is mounted... but the quality of the tripod really surprised me. I will definitely buy from K&F Concept again if I need something.
