Upgrade Rotatable Multi-Angle Center Column for Camera Tripod Magnesium Alloy & Locking System (Old model KF31.010 )
SKU: KF31.037
I have been getting into food photography and needed a budget friendly way to get those crisp top-down shots. I did not want to go out of my way and buy a whole new tripod or rig to get this shot. This accessory is the perfect solution because it allows you to connect it to a tripod that you already own. I attached my own ball-head to it and put my Sony a6300 on it and had no issues. It was attached to my Manfrotto befree aluminum tripod. With this light setup, it works out very well. If you have a heavier setup then you can always add a counterweight to the hook on the opposite end.
Pros:
Portable
Budget friendly
Compatible with almost any tripod
Has a hook to counter balance
Cons:
Wish it extended a little longer
In conclusion, if you are looking for a budget friendly way of getting into product/food photography then I would highly recommend making a setup with this.

A previous review titled "Design flaw makes this worse than useless" almost dissuaded me from purchasing this accessory, but fortunately I went ahead and gave it a try and I'm extremely glad I did, since the "design flaw" exists only if you don't realize that one must (obviously, to me at least) take OFF the removable white plastic gear-teeth protector that is used to keep the locking metal parts from scraping against each other during delivery transit. Underneath the ring lie the teeth that PERFECTLY match the opposing side as seen in my photo, so that it can make a tightly secure fit. So far, I'm completely satisfied with its function for my photographic needs, but will update this review if my opinion changes.

A reviewer who claimed the gear teeth failed. When I removed the while plastic protector it worked as specified.

I discovered this company on Amazon and was instantly captivated by the striking orange accents on their equipment. I frequently use this mount for various camera shots and lighting setups. Its versatility and good build quality make it a budget-friendly option. K&F is my preferred company for tripods, phone mounting equipment, and mounting hardware for my studio.

This accessory allows me to have a better game when doing video and product photography, where I often have to place the camera at unusual angles, in addition to helping me to have better space management in the shot

I needed this for extending a camera past the tripod and it is a perfect solution. Easy to set up, solid control, and if I would buy it again if I needed a second application

This 'tripod boom' (that is what I call it) has been working well for my specific needs. I do close up and macrophotography of insects in the field, and in some situations I had needed to be able to lean the camera in close, while not disturbing the brush near the subject. This boom does the trick, and I am glad it is sold separately from the K & F tripod that includes this item since I already have a tripod. It has standard attachments to go with any tripod and any tripod head, of course, and it is very solid but also light. My only quibble (a small one) is that I did not get instructions for how to assemble the several parts that came. I figured that out, though it took me more than one try.

For the money it is a great little addition to your tripod. Allowing you to make a overhead rig with just a small additional part. It isn't the most study, I would be hesitant to put anything superheavy on it. But you can add a counter weight.

I am impressed with this rotatable multi-angle center column. I am able to get the product shots with this very easily and it holds the weight of my canon 80D camera very easily.

It was easy to set up. the only down side is that I don't have a counter balance for it.
