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 really like microphone. The build quality is incredible and it feels extremely well made (no cheap feeling plastic on this one). It had some weight to it as well which tells me it likely can take some bumps or small drops and most likely be OK.It comes with 2 different connection cables, depending on what your device uses and 2 different covers for the mic itself. It has the basic foam one and what is referred to as a deadcat. The deadcat really does a great job blocking wind when filming outdoors in windy conditions.The quality of the microphone is superb and perfect for vlogging or just recording in general. I use this as my daily driver for recording videos. I was even able to get this to work with different action cameras with the appropriate adapters (not included).Also in the box is a cold shoe mount which is perfect for mounting this to your camera, phone, or action camera (some other not included accessories may be needed depending on your setup).All in all this microphone is awesome and it works extremely well. If you are looking for a great quality microphone for recording audio and don't want to break the bank, I would look no further!

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.

We used to have a GoPro action camera, which disappointed us each time we used it. We came across the Akaso action camera’s and decided to give it a try - you certainly couldn’t beat the price! So far we’ve gone to the Rocky Mountains & the Smoky Mountains for hiking trips, and mounted the action camera on our heads. We hiked for probably 6-7 hours straight, constant videotaping in high quality settings and only had to change the battery twice (it beeps to let you know when the battery is dead). We decided to have low expectations considering our prior experience with action camera’s, and were AMAZED when looking at our video footage. The mountains and sun rays were captured beautifully! It brings us such comfort knowing we can truly enjoy the hike without having to take videos on our cameras, since the V50X does it for us! Do yourself a favor and give this one a try - you won’t be disappointed! :-)

We really like this action camera, even though the packaging states 14+. We bought it for a 6 year old, and I think she will be able to use it easily. It comes with an amazing array of attachment options,: bike handle, helmet, underwater case, childproof with handles, and a lanyard for attaching the last two options to the photographer. It includes a rechargeable battery and also the USB cord to charge it. It includes a 32 SD chip, already formatted and inserted in the camera, and also a chip reader to download the pictures to a computer. The padded hard case is compact and perfect for storage and transporting. All it needs is to be charged for a bit, and some imagination! The instructions are on the screen and in an included manual, which may be complicated for a child to read, but it looks like they will be intuitive to discover and use. I don't know how long the battery charge will last, the manual says about 90 minutes. There are also options to automatically shut the camera off if not in use, which will help . We are looking forward to seeing what this First Grader is able to create!

This is a pretty good action camera for the money. The image stabilization is not excellent, but good enough to watch for an extended period of time without getting dizzy. I use this camera for mountain biking and it captures the trail with reasonable quality considering its 1/3 of the price of a GoPro. 4K on this camera is pretty good, but the stabilization starts to lag behind. Slow motion works alright, but quality drops severely and there is a lot of color information missing. The wide angle is 170, which is right around where you want it to be. You can also change the angle in settings, and speaking of settings, the ui is intuitive and easy, and the touchscreen is far better than GoPros three times it’s price. Battery life could be better, but it’s decent and it works. Overall it works well of mountain biking POV, and anything that is less demanding of the stabilization will be exceptional.

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.
