High-quality, robust, and very tall tripod
I'm a part-time photographer, mainly doing architectural and interior design photography, but whenever I can, I like to scout locations for landscape, nature, long exposure, and night photography.
Until now, I've been using a Vanguard Alta, which I modified with a ball head and a leveling base, but I needed something more stable, robust, and taller. There are many different tripod models and brands, but if you go for the most well-known brands, the prices skyrocket, and they aren't always as good as you'd expect.
Besides, buying a tripod online without being able to try it out is risky, but for the last three or four years, I've trusted the K&F Concept brand, and so far, they haven't disappointed me. I have a backpack, filters, LED lights, and even another travel tripod that I love. So, I decided to try this model, which also has an incredible working height.
Well, after testing it, I have to say I really like it. As is typical for the brand, the tripod comes with a very sturdy, high-quality carrying case. The tripod is made of aluminum, not very heavy but sturdy enough to provide stability and security for a professional camera.
I like it because simply extending the legs brings the camera to eye level (I'm 1.93m tall), and by retracting the last section of each leg, the camera is at an excellent height for taking indoor photos (approximately 1.40m). It also has a two-section center column that, in addition to increasing height, can be rotated 90 degrees and positioned completely horizontally. As you can see in one of the photos, the tripod, fully extended and vertical, reaches the height of a minibasketball hoop (approximately 2.40m). The ball head is very smooth and I find it perfectly usable for tracking and panning shots for video.
It has four sections on each leg, and one of the legs can be easily detached and used as a monopod. The ball head is sturdy and supports DSLR cameras with professional lenses, up to 10 kg. In my case, with my heaviest camera and lens, it handles it perfectly.
I still need to find the perfect day to try it out for a long-exposure Milky Way photo, but from what I've seen so far, it seems like a perfect all-around tripod at a very reasonable price. With other brands, you'd likely pay twice as much for the same thing. Highly recommended.
