I recently acquired K&F Concept 83 Video Tripod. I am photographer and don’t do much video. But when I do, my tripod which is geared mostly for photos, did not yield good results. That’s one reason I wanted a dedicated video tripod for those occasions where I use my camera (soccer, school plays etc). I wanted a small, portable yet sturdy that operates smoothly while panning the camera. Also I did not want to spend an arm and leg. That’s when I ran into this tripod. This not only checked all boxes but within my price range. I was not expecting much given the price and all the features listed. But after receiving it and setting it up. I am pleasantly surprised. Tripod came in a cardboard box with a carrying case and a wrench. Tripod has aluminum body so it’s slightly heavier than a typical carbon fiber model. It’s much lighter than the aluminum tripod I had earlier. If you haven’t read the details, you could easily think of it’s a carbon fiber model. I felt more confident with its weight as it presented with a much better build quality. Coming to tripod legs, they are strong, with leg locks. I like these locks much better than the regular twisty cylindrical/rotating locks. This tripod leg locks have resistance and give you a Solid click sound when you engage them. When the tripod is fully extended. It becomes 83 inch tall behemoth making you look like a lilliput. While it’s good to know it can go that tall, I would never go beyond 72 inches in practical use. Now coming to the best part of the tripod - it’s head moves buttery smooth when you pan. Using handle on this tripod to pan the camera is a joy which I really missed while using a camera tripod. The upward and downward motion is also smooth. The arca Swiss compatible plate is a machine finished aluminum, unlike the regular plasticky ones that you find on other tripods. Now coming to color scheme on the tripod, when I saw on the pictures, I felt it’s cheesy until I saw the tripod in hand. After assembling and looking at the tripod, it’s black legs, coupled with orange accents along with aluminum finished tripod plate, I kind of liked the overall color scheme. It looks and feels like a premium build. I took this to film a community event in my neighborhood and performed flawlessly! By the way did I mention, it comes with a carry bag made with strong denier fabric. Overall I am more than pleasantly surprised with this tripod in terms of its quality, function and affordability. If you are in the market for a video tripod, you should seriously look this K&F concept 83 tripod. It’s an affordable premium quality video tripod. You will not be disappointed!
