Happy Sunday! Which tripod do you have? I own a few but this one is the best one yet. Super complete! Comment below with yours. I would love to know! 😍

Very hands-on, practical, straight-to-the-point review. She does what she presents. Thank you very much for this review, Laura!

Laura I'm so glad I ran into your videos u inspire me so much with your knowledge. I was about to give photography up until I saw you and what u say if so clear and understanding u are wonderful. I love photography I do portrait but I can't afford the lenses I need but I'm getting back to photography because of you thank you for sharing your knowledge with us..

Great video thanks. One problem with hanging the bag on the hook outdoors is that the wind can catch the bag and start it swinging and acting like a pendulum. This can roick the centre column and change the centre of balance for the tripod causing it all to sway and starts move the camera slightly. A better way would be to get a tripod net which attaches to all three legs low down and put your bag on that. As the net (and therefore the nag sitting on it) is connected to all three legs it won't sway like it would hanking from a single centre point. Another way would be to lie the bag on the ground and use a cord or rope to tie the centre hook to the bag top handle. Pull the rope tight enough so that the bag is ALMOST verticaql but still sitting on the ground. Although the weight is shared between the ropoe ad the bit of the bag touching the ground, the friction between the bag and the ground will stop it from swinging.

That's a great tripod. I currently have the one just a step below this. I love it completely.

I just bought this tripod. It’s great. Thank you. ❤

Thank you for this review! I will definitely buy this tripod! It looks phenomenal!

Thank you so much for the video and the explanation .You have a dine a great job ...It's a super saver as I have been looking for not a very expensive stand but a one with good utility with great functioning and you did the magic here . You have amazingly beautiful energy and you are a great human being... Keep smiling ..Keep living keep clicking ...

Great Video! I was researching tripods a while ago and ended up with the version of this tripod which has 5 segments instead of the 4 segment version you have here. It folds down a bit smaller for hiking :) The only thing I don't like is the plastic insert they use for the mechanism to hold the centre column. It is fiddly to adjust the hight or reverse it. I started just folding the legs the other way round instead of reversing the column for macro shots where I need the camera close to the ground.

Much needed video. Thanks Laura 👌🏻😃

I love your videos Laura! Thank you for that one because I was looking for a tripod for me so this video is so great 😁 also I know that you recommend things that you know they are really good. So I believe you in 100%

Very informative!! Thank you!! i need to upgrade my sticks!! Thanks for the K&F review! Keep up the great videos!

I really love how you explain things ...this tripod is amazing

Thanks for all the great content. Charming and knowledgeable.. great combination 👏👏👏

Thank you so much for this great advice.

Very complete informative video huge thank you!!!

Omg you are right is seems like an amazing tripod! I will consider it

Wonderful video thank you! I was so tired of having to have all the attachments for my old tripod to make it work for different shoots!

Great video, that tripod is so good, I didn’t realise it had so many features. It would have been good to see you use it as a hiking stick in your last video 😂 love how versatile it is, love the fact it has a ball head so you can rotate the camera rather than having to always rotate the tripod. Thanks you for your excellent video, I needed a new tripod as well 😊

Great review! This tripod is really amazing for its price. I have this tripod and I love it. It feels a bit cheap compared to the Benro tripod that I also have, but K&F tripod costs half and has much more features.

Thank you for helping to make a decision to purchase one.

This video is epic thank you!!!

Great review Laura 🖤 IMO this tripod is a big win for anyone who wants to get one tripod that does everything for a good price. Plus aesthetically it’s just made for Sony cameras users ;)

Thank you Laura! New content creator here about to start my channel and in need of a new tripod. I think I may purchase now, thanks to your thorough review

Wonderful video, Laura. I have had the Slik Pro 700DX tripod for 20 plus years. It suits my needs very well. Might look for a lighter tripod one of these days.

2:11 you can use an L-bracket(arca-swiss) to maintain the center of gravity on any hardware that you can mount on a tripod specially with lenses that looks like it weights a ton, nice videos by the way

Thank you, Laura. I like K&F and have one of their smaller tripods. This one looks a little large to strap to my motorcycle but I do like the height.

This is absolutely a mesmerizing find! I am impressed by you and inspired. I gotta have one but I’m not in the market right now. Maybe if I could sell the current tripod I have it would give me a boost. I think the one I have would have low resale value, however. I’m going to need to sit with this but I am honestly grateful for you and your diligence!

Hi Laura, Thanks for your insight. The K&F has one unique trick up it's sleeve, which is the horizontal column and to my mind that is very specialized and I would bet you cannot go horizontal with your 105 lens & camera without hanging a 30 kilo sand bag on the opposite end making it specific for studio work, yet you gave examples of traveling and backpacking. When you are treking in the mountains and forests there are a couple important features that exceeds the importance of something like a horizontal column or conversion to a monopod. Those are weight and ability to deal with all weather or environment shooting conditions. I have a MeFoto Aluminum tripod that was a special edition with the leather wrapped legs. Huge waste of nearly $300 for those two reasons that it fails at. It's heavy and I cannot plant it in a stream in the mountains or in the surf at a beach. I have a Manfrotto Monopod, and used it twice, I think over 15 years. The aforementioned MeFoto I removed the leg once for a monopod with the Tamron 150-600 and will never use a monopod ever again. I have a LeoFoto Wings tripod, variation Lucifer as the Carbon Fiber and all the hardware is black. The Gabriel variation is all silver carbon fiber and hardware. This tripod can be used with or without the center column which has a fast change out between the tripod base plate or center column and I have a quick change plate to move the ball head seemlessly to either setup. It's light, can be planted in sandy, salty surf with zero problems as the leg sections are sealed against the elements. In addition all the optional features like magic arms the can mount to the leg collar to put a teathered tablet. This tripod will last and is very light and sealed against the elements. Yes, it was expensive, but I've spent more on all these other Aluminum pretenders than I did on this great carbon fiber tripod that came with a great travel case. I'm sure the K&F might be a good swiss army knife. But, like they say, I'll take the "Master" of one versus the "Rookie" of many, and honestly, I would bet that maybe 20% would need those extra features while sacrificing weight and endurance. Cheers!

Esse cabelo me ganhou, vou correr pra Bali esse ano!

Un pasote de trípode! Super versátil tiene multiposiciones y encima tienes monopié! Me ha gustado mucho, mucho 😄 Excelente review! 👍

My first tripod rule: I set-up the tripod then I climb on it. If it holds me, I'll buy it and trust it with my gear.

It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Thanks for all the info concerning this tripod. Checks all the boxes for sure.

This looks really good for the price. Thinking of buying but only concern is the mounting plate. Does it have a locking mechanism at all? I’m worried if the screw loosens a little bit and the plate will slide off.

gracias por compartir tu opinión, excelente reseña

Thanks, good data!

I have a tripod exactly like that except it is a different name brand. I also want the 5D iiii. That would be my dream camera, but my T60 will have to continue to fill the bill for now. Thanks for expertise!

I recommend Vanguard Veo 3GO 265HCB, it's not heavy (carbon) and it supports upto 10 kg.

Not sure how I came across your channel, but I started watching a couple of days ago. Really useful content. I love the reviews because I keep mishearing your descriptions and wondering why you're suddenly talking about a tripod with lots of pizzas ... (Turns out you were talking about features!)

Bought based on your review, thank you!

Lovely video Lovely you dear Laura

Amazing, just got it mine. Can you please teach how to connect the Bluetooth remote to the camera plz?

What a great truly comprehensive video. I'm way late, and so I missed the discount, but I just bought it. :-) it's all your fault. :-)

A good and full-on review of something i'm about to buy... but what about that bass lurking in the background??!!!

Thank you for the discount link, I really love this tripod!

Hi Laura I love your videos they are very informative and unbiased just have a question do you have videos in spanish? I really like your content I think you would be successful in Latin America or Spanish speaking countries In general

Un gran trípode, muy completo y con un montón de variaciones. Buen vídeo! 👍

Hey laura i love your videos. I looking into this tripod. Can you make a video or tell me how you use the monopod on your photography and videography. Muchas gracias en adelanto. Alguna vez has pensado en tener un canal en espańol.

i have t his one. its a great versatile tripod

Hi again Laura. I bought the tripod. Love it. Just a question, there is a orange turn knob round , on the other side of the butter fly knob, what is that for? I've been messing with it and not sure what it does. Thank you again for the recommendation on this tripod

Can u also use this tripod with your smartphone if u don't have a camera as yet

That is a sweet tripod. I settled for an 80 incher but I would recommend that K&F tripod to anyone who can afford the $129

I don't know if I'm deaf or it just wasn't discussed, but a tripod like the one featured in the video tends to not fare as well for long exposure photography. Yes, it works well for framing assistance and taking the weight of those very large camera systems. However, that center column can put your system into positions that introduces just enough instability that a ten or fifteen plus minute exposure is not as sharp as you may have been expecting... at least as I remember learning all those years ago. If you do use a tripod like that for long exposures, I would do my best to weigh it down as much as possible to minimize the risk of any slight camera shakes. If you are wondering why that might be a thing, it comes down to that column creating enough leverage to start introducing system instability. Think of two similar pyramids, both have identical bases, but one is 50% taller. That extra height with the same base will act as leverage, allowing the taller pyramid to rock more than the shorter one.

Hola! He estado viendo otro tripod parecido pero de otra marca, Neewer. Tienes alguna preferencia entre K&F y Neewer? Una cosa que vi que me llamó la atención del de Neewer es que tiene un seguro en la cabeza para que no caiga la cámara cuando está en posición horizontal, el de K&F tiene algo así? Y si es que no, haz tenido problemas con eso? Agradezco tu review y tu tiempo

what do you think about the k234a0+video head and k234a0+bh-28l? what should i buy? i need one for my galaxy s23 ultra

Laura, the ball head can't be good for all genre of photography, myself for instance, shoot Architecture, as well as urban landscapes, in MF as well as LF so one knob lose and you loose control of a heavy camera system(and an expensive one!), so I use a 3-way head on my big sticks to handle it, one knob and I know what is about to happen, and am ready to catch the camera!

Laura tienes una pinta de castiza de lavapies, luego llego a ver chamberi :)) saludos y suerte!

I have this tripod and the one thing I dislike the head, for two reasons, the first if there is any weight, like a Sony 150-600 zoom, it can not cope, but even with a normal camera lens the ball head is difficult to get level and it moves ever so slightly disrupting the composition.

Bought one then I couldn't find it so I bought another tripod and I found it guess I need to get all the gear organized

Would this tripod be good to mount a teleprompter on?

at 8:35 there is another reason for monopods, say you want to shoot art in a Gallery, or an exhibition in a Museum, they don't allow tripods!, so a monopod is the only choice.

can a phone and a ring light be attached to this? * * sorry not too familiar with tripods

Not a fan at all of the center shaft. If extended stability is questionable. I use nothing but Sirui tripods having a 2204, 4414 and a 5214. The 5214 is great when I have my gimbal mount and my 600mm lens mounted for birds and other fast moving animals or in the studio, It is super stable!

Does it have a quick release?

Hi! Do you know if the SA254T1 fits with the Sony Alpha a7II ? Because in the website said Nikon Canon

Oh my gosh, I love your voice. Where are you from?

I want to marry his woman haha. Love the attitude and energy ❤ The best tripod video on the internet

what is the minimum foldable length/height?

I would that voice blender left in the hills

Tripods and the tripod market seems to be changing. 10 years ago, Manfrotto, Gitzo etc and you'd need to buy the head separately (I have a travel Manfrotto and a larger Gitzo) but now KandF and Neewer seem to be producing reasonably priced (NB not cheap) tripods which include the head. Am currently looking at the Neewer TP65, which includes most of the things I need (ball head, lightweight - sorry 2kg is too much for me, panning) as well as a handle for easy manoeuvre and control. Anyone used any Neweer tripods? Any good?

"Your 🔘 Fabulosa" "Y Un Poco Mas"

I feel like watching Roberto Photo... 👍

Welcome to Bali Laura. Do u still use this one

Is this okay for fuji xs10

👌🏻❤️

Adjustable center column - this defeats the stability of a tripod, you had three axis’s of stability but by putting your gear up on a pole now you only have vertical stability. Essentially you now have a monopod standing on top of a tripod… Horizontal center axis - why would you hang your camera so far off center. You’ve moved the cameras weight outside of the tripods stability. This is not a safe thing to do especially with heavier gear… Changing from horizontal to vertical axis with a ball head (unless it’s a very light camera) as you’ve now moved the center of gravity outside of the tripods stability. It’s like leaning over a cliff further and further and expecting to stay there… I’ve purchased one tripod since starting photography, RRS carbon fiber. It’s rock solid, reliable and safely holds my gear… When I was shopping for a tripod I read a review that stated “buy once cry once”. It’s much more expensive to purchase one tripod then another and another because they’re “inexpensive” and not designed well. Buy one good tripod that’ll serve you well for many years… Multi function tripods are like the old “all in one” pieces of stereo equipment, they’ll do everything but nothing very well.

I really hope you're still getting kickbacks for this because you sold it to me and many others I'm sure.

Not every photographer needs a tripod. Cartier-Bresson and McQuillan did quite well without tripods. It depends on your style of photography, and perhaps the subject matter in front of your lens. However to say that every photographer needs a tripod is grossly inaccurate.

Can you go an angle?

I love your accent, is it Greek?

Funny accent spanish 😊

I'll keep my Gitzo

I just want to meet you!

I don't like tripod with the central column. Not for me.

That's an excellent insight into that tripod. I have 2 different K&F tripods and I like them - but their bags are a tad flimsy. This one might be a bit overkill for me but I'm still thinking about getting one. One thing though about your video Laura, can you please reduce the number of times you say "SUPER". I totally understand that English isn't your first language but after a couple of minutes into your video all I could hear was Super, Super, Super....

There is no such thing as the best tripod, there are a number of good tripods, it really comes back to your needs. For example if you only want a table top tripod you will select the best one that suits your needs and not a full sized tripod.

ye kaisa name he bhai. 😂

It was so difficult to understand this English 😢

After all this verbal high speed diatribe, the brand of the tripod is not mentioned. Don't give up your day job.

I really wanted to learn about this tripod from your video but you talk to fast. Thanks anyway

Hi Laura... you are speaking waaaay too fast... very hard to understand

To much talking without mention the brand of the tripod

Omg lady. You talk too fast. I don’t really get it 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I loooove your accent ❤

Your accent made me crave salsa and tacos 🤤
