Zdejmowany monopod ułatwia robienie zdjęć smartfonem

I figured I was taking a chance with the K&F model, thinking it might be poorly made. But there's plenty to like about it. (I gave four stars rather than five due to uncertainty about how well some of the clamps will hold up. More on that below.)>> LegsRight out of the box they were very stiff. If anything they're too stiff, which makes it a bit of a chore to unfold them. But they'll loosen up over time and it's a lot better having them be too stiff out of the box than too loose.When the tripod is set up, it feels quite solid.One advantage to the stiffness: When the tripod is fully collapsed "transverse" style, you can pick it up by one leg and the leg doesn't immediately begin opening out. So you don't have to pick it up by holding two legs (or use a strap to tie the legs together).>> BallheadSurprisingly good. It seems somewhat better-made than a ballhead supplied with another tripod of mine (a better-known brand). The ballhead's controls feel well machined, and the knobs are large enough to be comfortable to turn. I'd have preferred their being rubberized, but you can't have everything.>> Arca-Swiss-compatible clampNo problems. The supplied camera plate has a sensible design for the attachment screw, so you aren't out of luck if you need to attach it but don't have a flat-head screwdriver or coin. The clamp perfectly fits the Arca-Swiss base plate of my camera's hand grip.>> Release levers for changing leg anglesI've seen comments about such tripods noting that the release levers are somewhat flimsy and might break. It's possible, but I wonder if the problem is that people hold the legs under too much tension when they're trying to change the angles. Instead, push the legs inward slightly before using the levers.>> "Transverse" center column designThis works very well. It's the simplest one I've used so far: Bring the inner section of the center column to its max. height, and then it turns easily to horizontal via a ball-and-socket mechanism. Along its length, the inner column has a groove that fits to a tongue in its housing. So it doesn't rotate within the housing. This makes sliding the column back and forth maybe a bit more difficult than it would otherwise be, but it feels nice and solid.>> Flip-lock levers for extending the legsThese don't feel nearly as solid as the rest of the hardware. I won't be opening or closing them too quickly or forcefully. It's hard to tell how long they will hold up.>> Carrying bagIt's fine. Dual zippers, carrying handle, and shoulder strap are included. Not ThinkTank quality, but it'll do. (I wouldn't have minded if they'd added a small zipper pocket to it. Hardly a deal-breaker.)>> DocumentationCompletely awful and unintentionally amusing. But you won't likely need it. Leave it in the bag and forget about it.>> Not crazy about <<The inner center column does not have a spring-loaded weight hook at the end. The whole arrangement could go off-balance and fall over if the arm is extended too far horizontally and there isn't a tripod leg directly under it. I'll have to think up some workaround. At some point I'll need a counter-weight at the back of that arm. Not a deal-breaker.>> REALLY not crazy about <<The larger, outer section of the center column does have a weight hook. To move the entire center column into the upside-down position as shown in one of the product illustrations on this page, you need to remove the weight hook. This is not as easy as it should be. The part you unscrew is a thin plastic disk—hard to grab onto. It should be wider. Maybe it'd be a good idea to keep a short strip of Dycem in the carrying bag to help turn that thing. Annoying, but still not a deal-breaker.>> Overall impression <<It's a well made tripod and good for the price. Be gentle with those leg extension clamps. And try not to laugh too hard at the documentation. I'm sure they meant well. :)

I love so many things about this camera bag, but the RFID pocket and extra storage capacity really top off my list of favorite features.First of all, I think that this bag will make the perfect carry-on for my personal electronics AND camera equipment once I am able to travel again via plane. There is plenty of room for your camera basics, an extra lens or two, some accessories, and even a laptop or tablet. The RFID pouch is very handy - especially if traveling - to keep your ID, credit cards, etc. safe from unscrupulous scanning.The bag can be worn as a backpack, and I love that it is a great, adjustable fit for shorter or taller people. The tripod straps are nice, as the tripod doesn't have to be stuffed inside the bag, taking up extra storage space. The slide-out drawer is very handy, although I wish that it actually locked or had two connecting zipper pulls that could be locked with a small external padlock.I do wish that there were more color/design options. The outside surface is made from a rubber-type material that does a pretty good job of keeping rain and elements away from your camera equipment; however, the interior padding could be a bit thicker or substantial. This bag is a good basic/general bag for equipment for short-term use, but I would recommend something more protective if you are looking for a bag/organizer to store your equipment (especially lenses) for a longer period of time.This bag also works well for drone equipment, especially if you are using your drone in the elements.

This is everything it promises to be. Lightweight, comes with an very nice carry case. The ability to have the main rod lay out laterally for positioning a camera straight down on a subject is ingenious and the most useful feature, making food shots, unboxing videos and animations a breeze. Using this tripod with a remote shutter release is icing on a cake. One leg removes easily for a mono-pod and the ball head is one of the best I have ever used at this price point. The main rod can also be reversed for low to the ground shots, but I found getting this to easily be pulled out and replaced through the main adjustment tube can be tricky so it's important your not in a hurry to do this. Overall I could not have chosen a better tripod for my needs. I use a Lumix GH5s and this tripod easily supports it's weight and I would almost say the two are a match made in heaven.

Uwielbiam ten tripod. Potrzebowałem jednego wystarczająco mocnego, aby pomieścić mój aparat i akumulator. Działa świetnie! Wypróbuję to również z moim teleskopem stołowym.

This is the first tripod I've bought in a loooooooong time. Most of my shots these days comes from a smartphone that's being handheld so I was really looking forward to buying this for my XT4. All and all this is an amazing tripod for the price and there isn't a whole lot more you could reasonably ask for it.Pros- This thing is feature rich. It has a gear hook, monopod, and the ball head assembly is entirely removable which really helps distribute the weight of the thing when it's hanging off the side of a bag.- Smooth actuation. Sometimes the locks get in the way of breaking it down but I'm actually listing this as a pro. If you actuate the legs to their furthest position at each stop then try to push them any further the locks will really get in the way. This means that if your leg is going to give way on terrain it's going to stop pretty easy.- Plenty tall when you extend the center column. I'm 6' and I can bring my camera to eye level easily.Cons- This thing is not light. It's on par for other aluminum tripods but if you're really looking to drop your weight look into carbon fiber.- The monopod leg is SLIGHTLY shorter than the rest of the other legs. This isn't too big of a problem if you take some time to balance the other two legs. It's also not a problem if you're shooting landscape and wildlife and you're already going to have an uneven distribution between the legs.Missing/Neutral- No threads to put feet or screws on the bottom of the mount. Not a problem for me but do be advised that if you're shooting on sand or water and you want feet it could be an issue. Not sure why you'd buy this tripod for that purpose at this price point anyway.

I was looking all over Amazon for a "travel" tripod... I knew I wanted one under 2 pounds, made of carbon fiber and metal, something compact, with a twist knob and a ball head. I finally came across this one and hesitated because of the price...I decided to bite the bullet and check it out. The packaging was not damaged at all. Once I opened it I was blown away how light and compact it was. I stood it up as high as it went and tested how sturdy it was. I was very impressed. It was exactly what I wanted. The entire tripod is made of strong carbon fiber, the twist knobs are made of metal with rubber grips over them. The ball head is also made of metal. It has a level and compass on the top where you put your camera at. The adjustment knobs on the top of the tripod are made of a strong polymer. For someone who literally will just pick up and go to take photos, travel, backpack, or whatever, it is perfect. It does lack some features, however, those features were not included in the information of the tripod so it is not worth mentioning. Quick summary, it is everything K&F says it is, for the value of this product, it is worth getting!

I've owned this for a couple of months so far, and it's really doing the job I bought it for. The transverse center extension makes it easy for me to film up close videos on my desk at a *good angle*. The center mount is cleverly integrated into the tripod, whether in-use or not in-use. Use this as a regular tripod or with the integrated extension, it's great.It's easy to adjust the legs, swivel, ball mount, and I actually like the color scheme a lot.I've started using this tripod over my other tripod (without the transverse center extension) because it's just more flexible to use.It'd be great if both of my tripods used the same quick mount system, but they don't unfortunately. So the quick connector compatibility would be one thing to be aware of. I really don't know whether this tripod or my other one as a standard quick mount type, but they are different to be sure.
