I'm a part-time photographer, I mainly do architecture and interior photography, but whenever I can I like to look for locations for landscape, nature, long exposure and night photography.
Buying a tripod online without being able to test it is risky, but 3 or 4 years ago I started trusting the K&F Concept brand and to date they have not disappointed me. I have a backpack, filters, led lights, even other travel tripods that I love. So I decided to try this model that also has an incredible working height.
I still need to find the ideal day to try it on a long exposure photo of the milky way, but from what I've tried so far it seems like a perfect tripod for everything and at a fairly reasonable price.
I like it because just extending the legs puts the camera at eye level (I'm 1.93m), and just picking up the last section of each leg puts the camera at an excellent height for taking indoor photos (1 ,40m approx). In addition, it has a central column with two sections that, in addition to gaining height, can be turned 90 and left completely horizontal. As you can see in one of the photos, the fully extended and vertical tripod reaches the height of a mini-basketball basket (approximately 2.40 m). The head is very fluid and I find it perfectly usable for tracking and panning for video.
It features 4 sections on each leg, plus one of the legs can be easily detached and used as a monopod. The head is resistant and supports SLR cameras with professional lenses, up to 10 kg, in my case with my heaviest camera and lens, it doesn't even get messy.
In other brands it would not be unusual for them to ask you for twice the money to have the same thing. Highly recommended.
