GREAT TRIPOD: Good combination of lightweight and durable
In a studio setting, you'll want a heavy duty Manfrotto etc, but - when you're moving around (especially country to country) - you'll find the Manfrottos etc are too heavy.It becomes a drag.I was looking for a good quality, easy to use, lighter, feature-rich alternative - and this K&F product is it.Easy to set-up and use, plenty of flexibility for shots/video - as well as a sturdy feel for heavier cameras etc.Definitely recommend it.Comes with a GOOD 'sling it over your shoulder' case - which is always useful!

Good Light Set Up
This is the first time I have used soft boxes and these are fairly easy to assemble/use. I really love them for my photography.

good quality head set
this is my preferred brand of head set. I am tough on head sets and have found this brand to be good quality at a reasonable price. I highly recommend them.

Good set of outdoor lights
My product did not come with a remote control (I was not expecting one) but it works great and is very bright! Looks good on my patio.

Good basic set-up
No bells and whistles here, just a basic baby monitor. Does its job. I like that you can adjust the volume. So far,so good.

Very good lighting set
This is an excellent product. Easy to set up and quite functional. I actually bought another set after seeing how the first one worked and I would definitely buy it again.

Really good hobbyist set.
The sound quality is good, but not up to prosumer units that cost quite a bit more. The battery life is adequate for most uses.There is no companion iOS app, but the system is recognized easily by iOS and iPadOS so that you can use any app that will record audio. This is actually a positive in that your not locked into a single app.The included case is big enough for all the parts, but is not provisioned for the odd shaped pieces, but its not enough of a minus to really complain about. Trimming the foam in the shipping package to tuck into the case is certainly a viable option.TL,DR: Really good starter option for Vloggers and interviews. Once you move past working on your phone or tablet, you’ll want to invest in better microphones.

A good budget set of sticks
To properly review this tripod you need to go into it with the right expectations. Really good quality video tripods are expensive. REALLY expensive. At the time of this review the price for this tripod was around $99 including a coupon. So I feel that you really need to look at this tripod with the mindset of "Are you getting a good value for your money?". In my onion you are.To start this tripod has quick release levers for extending your legs. These kind of closures are ideal for a video tripod as you can just unsnap all thee legs, hold the tripod by the head and guide it up and down just holding the top and once you have it in the correct position you close the levers. This is so much more convenient than the other budget tripod that have twist knobs. With the twist knobs that I have used you actually needed to reach down and pull the legs down yourself were as with this tripod the legs fall down on their own when you unsnap the levers. The negative here is the levers are made from plastic.The tilting motion on the head is actually quite smooth. It was easy to get nice smooth tilts with this head on a mirrorless camera rig mounted on top. Remember the weight capacity of this rig is only around 17lbs. Unfortunately the pans are not quite as smooth. The panning is not "fluid head" like. It's strictly friction based. And while it is smooth in some parts there are sections where it starts to have a grinding like feeling. However, if you are very careful you can get some smooth pans.Staying with the tripod head you get a Manfrotto style QR plate. It has a safety latch which is good. There is a bubble level on the head as well. The negative here again is that it mostly plastic construction with the safety latch being pretty thin plastic.The legs are metal and feel fairly strong. The tripod is quite stable at it's second stage height. With the third stage this tripod is VERY tall and if you are just sitting your camera there and not moving it around it is just fine. However at this tallest height it isn't super stable. I don't mean your rig is going to fall down. It's just that pans and tilts at it greatest height will be very difficult to get smooth. There is a bit of wiggle.At the base of the legs the little rubber ends actually tilt around so it can stay more stable even on slightly uneven ground. There are some plastic safety latches, which you can see in one of the pictures I took, that are useful to use if you are carrying it around closed and you don't want the legs flopping around.The soft case it comes with is actually quite nice.Is this a great video tripod? No and nor is it priced like one. Is it a good video tripod considering the price? I would say yes. So if you are looking for a super basic set of sticks and don't have much of a budget I would certainly recommend this one in this price range. I can certainly seen others at this price point that were just awful!
