Sorry for the late video this week! Enjoy 😁

I used one of their tripods a few years ago but I wasn't so impressed with the build quality. The ball head came loose within the first year and had to be replaced, one of the twist locks also came off the frame and I had to glue it back on with superglue. I also found the legs vibrated even under only a small amount of wind. The old saying buy cheap, buy twice can be very true with tripods. I eventually replaced it with an Innorel CT75C and can say it has none of the issues the K&F tripod had. It is more expensive at £200 but still nowhere near the crazy money you would pay for brands like Gitzo or Really Right Stuff. Just be careful what you buy when it comes to tripods, ideally you will want something that will outlast your camera.

Glad you are still with us, I've been checking every morning since Sunday I guess that makes it easy to tell I'm retired. Love the picture of the old building wth you in it and no apology needed some times us old guys forget your a family man with a full time job. Thanks for this weeks video.

One thing a monopod is good for, other than self-defence... i (not infrequently) use it to reach into places to get angles that are otherwise impossible. So i'll set everything on the camera, including a best-guess manual focus, stick it somewhere, line it up using the live view (a fully articulating screen is the go), and fire it on a 12s timer or remote. It's also handy to carry a few metres of paracord to tie it to things or help with suspending it over the abyss. Cheers.

Thank you. This is one of the tripods I have on my Amazon wish list right now. I have a good Bogen/Manfrotto tripod, but I'm wanting something a little more compact and lighter as well. It's good to know that this would be a good choice. There are so many times that my current tripod just seems like overkill. Oh, and I've looked at some of the smaller ones, but I'm a tall guy, so the height on this one is probably about ideal, if not still a little short.

Thanks for the video Johsua. What I'm really looking for, and I imagine that I´m in the same boat as many people these days, is a tripod that can do both photography and video, and that can handle my DSLR and a heavy lens. One that doesn't break the bank - maybe a bit much to ask..

And - i enjoyed your selfie with the cottage... positionally, well timed.

Another great video, love the old building shot. Congratulations on hitting 600 subscribers 🥳

Thanks again for another brilliant video, love your content!

The way to said Aluminum, instant subscribe homie!

The way to said Aluminum, instant subscribe homie! Just got the email that mine is on the way here and I’m pretty stoked, great review brother, respect ✊🏽 from Hawaii 🌺

Told me everything I needed to purchase one, thanks!

Hi I bought a carbon fibre one it was $125 au with a magic plate from Amazon. I love it 👍 keep up the vids

Great video, I have the same tripod and I agree, it does everything you need a tripod to do and at a sensible price, I have used it with my sigma 150 600mm for birding, and no issues st all,, and that's a big lens.

Great review. What happened to the video best I could get was 360p resolution? I did not notice the video was late so no apology required. Don't fret if you fail to make it according to your time frame, it is after all "your" time frame

Hi Joshua. Great series of videos. Just wondering if you felt comfortable using the 250d in the wet weather? I have a 250 as well and panic at the thoughts of rain haha

Excellent video,right up my street. I don’t think you need to spend thousands on gear,especially starting out. May give this tripod a go. Wonder if they do a smaller column for low shots.

Watched this after I already bought it… *phew* luckily its good 😊

I gave you a like, because this is a good and funny video. Thanks. Yes I have this tripod now. 😂 By the way I'm a same photographer as you, liking to make similar pictures.

Cool - I'm 6'8" so been quoted mad money for a tripod.

I wonder if the aluminum one is lighter than the aluminium one. Has anyone done a study on how much an i weighs?

I did check out your website, and I’m really curious what website builder you use for it, or did you ever make a video about building a website as a photographer?

K have a K&F. Decent enough, especially for the price.

Thanks for the great review, got my finger on the checkout button but am wondering if you think this tripod would be ok for a pair of binoculars weighing 2.5kgs, have read that some people think the bolt is very short and could of been a bit longer

Can you add a pan handle to this? If not, is it easy to pan a lightweight camera body and lens?

Hi there Joshua. Thanks for the informative video, however I have one quetion. Can you totally remove the center column for ground-level shots? And I don't mean reversing the column, I know this can be done. Im talking when legs go flat on the ground - so the whole tripod is as low as possible (least intimidating for wildlife / easiest to conceal).

Help! Mine doesn't rotate into 90º (portrait) even if the ballhead is loose. What do I do?

Video looks like it was shot with linear gama profile. very weird

Does the ball head have a fast way to lock it in horizontally or vertically? My tripod is a plate type, non ball head, and once I level my tripod, I know my camera is straight with the horizon.

Would this tripod work with a iPhone 14pro?

How’s the tripod holding up ? Are you still using it

ARE YOU SURE? I JUST FOUND THIS IS alibaba chinese imports---- really scared of putting my 10,000 dollars on top of it for one last time...
