Great concept, but built cheaply
This K&F Concept Video Microphone, tripod combination is an interesting concept. It has a small tripod, phone mount, and external microphone all in one. The tripod has extension feet that extend out a few more inches, which is nice. Unfortunately, the entire tripod and mount are made of cheap plastic and feel like they would break easily.The main weak point is a hinge in the phone mount that lets you tilt the phone back and turn it to hold your phone in portrait mode. While this feature is handy, the plastic is only about 1/8" thick here and feels very flimsy. The phone mount and it's connection point are both plastic, I just really can't see this lasting with real every day use. I would be VERY concerned about trusting an almost $1k smartphone in this mount.The microphone itself has really good sound quality and will significantly improve the quality over your on phone sound. I am going to see if I can find a different phone mount that can replace this one and then I might feel more comfortable using this. The microphone comes with two cables, one with a camera icon and one with a phone icon. Unfortunately, neither has a Lightning adapter so I had to use the phone cable along with my 3.5mm to Lightning headset adapter to get it to work with my iPhone.Overall, this is a great concept but needs some tweaks in v2 for it to be useful in real life. If it were made out of metal, or even just incorporated a stronger plastic along with some metal connection points, it would be 4-5 stars.
