You can gift me the tripod please?
Thank you so much! Cool and entertaining. I just got it and was going to return bc I couldnt find the horizontal axis part. Loved the vid!
Thanks!
How is it holding up after a year’s use? Are the thumbscrews strong enough to hold the centre tube in place when it’s both vertical and at an angle?
I had one identical to this labeled Zomie,i think. It looks identical. Mine fell apart and I might order another one because the price is so solid!
at the end you did not fold the legs up to make it smaller so will that make it as small as your other one?
I just purchased the Newer version of this tripod. Slightly different tilt mechanism but very nice indeed.
@Burhan :D He meant Neewer. it is a brand. :)
Hi
I want to share my experience with K&F with you.
I purchased K&F’s TC2335 in September last year for my vlogging camera. Whilst I was away on a photography trip in December, two of the tripod feet fell off. The feet are a push on design. I contacted K&F and they told me that they don’t have spares. I asked them to replace it under warranty and they ignored me. I have contacted them a number of times and they don’t return my emails. K&F take exception to the warranties that they will honour. I would not buy from them again.
Great video by the way.
I bought this for my binoculars for hiking/camping etc and they are perfect, if not a little heavy on longer hikes. The smooth ball-head panning for glassing was very important for me as was it's extension height, me being 6'1. Glassing with anything but calm, smooth movement becomes very unpleasant very fast and eye fatigue sets in quick. I love how smooth and precise I can be when scanning and not shake my eyes. Fully extended it is plenty tall enough for me also. I recommend this tripod for the price. If I could afford carbon I would have preferred the weight I would save but other than that, no complaints at all.
Great review Nathan! Never tried glassing so good to hear your point of view
I came here because I wanted to learn how this tripod works. Great job on the review and showing the functionality of the tripod. Very entertaining too 😀.
Thank you! I really appreciate it :)
Can this be used on with a gopro or samsung camera?
Best tripod ever!!! Get one one amazon sale for my birthday, best choice quality/price, and pretty small. Now I can carry tripod and camera in my backpack
Thanks Damian, just bought this for 90 degree food photography shots looks like it will do the job
Ye it's still going strong for me
I bought it for food photo too :)
Is it compatible with Fujifilm XT3? After one year what are your thoughts? Just got mine TM2534T and i already found some issues with the plastic o'rings used on each leg. I untightened more that usual and the plastic orings just fallen down broken in two pieces. I have contacted the company today and i am waiting their comments and solution
Nice short vid, looks good, use their adapters which are great.
Great video. I was thinking about getting one of the K&F tripods, but then I noticed something watching videos. Since the quick release knob and the spirit level are on opposite sides of the plate, one of them will be under the camera??? Seems like an idiotic design to me. When you have your camera mounted in the video...the bubble level is under your lens??? If it were the other way it wouldn't be much of a quick release (at least not without some inconvenience and struggle)
Yep, it's kinda annoying! I use mine all the time but still it's a bit awkward. I have a simple little spirit level that I can put anywhere if I really need to.
Great review man! I jus have one quick question...
What are the exact real dimensions of it?
Because in the official web site it says 4 different heights!
14” and 19” when it’s folded and the 66” and 72” when it’s fully extended! So, which are the real ones?
I would like to know exactly how many cm it is the very smallest and tallest you can get from it.
I hope you can help me out with this one! Thanks and keep doing these vids! Greetings from Mexico!
Did you ever find out the full fold down dimensions?
From my understanding, these are the heights of the tripod and the monopod respectively. I think the monopod height is the bigger of the numbers, in each pair (ie 19" and 72").
Small problem Where the top mount is fixed (The 360 mark the screw cannot be tightened. Have had to use a lokin compound) Otherwise its great
Good tip, thanks!
Hi! Sorry to sound ignorant but I'm trying to line out a few issues I have with this tripod. What is lokin compound?
"The winning feature" Damian, I agree, I am looking for a suitable set up to do archive work shooting straight down to the floor at 90 degrees. Please can you report on how stable it was with your Camera fixed on? There are a few things that I don't understand. The most important one is this: The advertising image shows the arm being able to slide back to counterbalance the weight but it doesn't look like you can actually do that, can you?
*I noticed a bit of skipping when you panned*
This is a good tripod and a step up from your Velbon. However this is not in the same quality or performance category as a similar Manfrotto. Thank you though for sharing your thoughts on this.
Thanks :)
Has this got the mono pod built in?
Yup, unscrew one leg and screw it into the center column
Thanks bruv! 📷 🔥
Re-branded tripod from China? So what, if the quality and the functionality are there? If I'm thinking about the brand name on my tripod when I'm composing, I'm not focusing on my composition. Although at 2:24 I did notice a dent in the centre column.
I have zero issue with things made in china.
I'm sorry - after rereading my comment it sounds like I'm being critical of you, and that was not my intention. I was, in my mind, being critical of those who might turn their noses up this product, due to its source. K & F Concept makes some nice gear that is also excellent quality.
@@metalmick99 I agree with you Michael, absolutely. I always find it funny how people are so quick to relate made in china with inferior product when
China is the factory of the world and produces a lot of great stuff. K+F have had a good sized stand at the photography show in the UK for a few years now as well.
nice but you didn't demo one leg being removed and used as a monopod :)
That is a very useful feature Works well
Yes,Damian.
These are pretty good bang for buck tripods. I have got the same one and the one without the movable column.
They're not the greatest in sturdyness..but they get the job done.
And yes...the lens dumb adapters they sell are great .
Did you keep the off-brand macro extension tubes for the Fuji ?
How are they testing in the long run?
Do you use them much?
Thanks. ;)
1.5yrs later. Does the legs still hold up. Any failures or worn areas?
Everything but the centre column is as when I got. They replaced it for me free of charge :D
Mine was absolute trash. The ball head, centre column and legs all fell apart. They insulted my intelligence and blamed me for it. Got nothing. Discovered it’s a cheap copy of the benro model and I’ve now bought that. Typical cheap knockoff.. so tired of getting shafted by copies of authentically innovative products
Can you put a pan handle on it?
Haven't tried!
My Manfrotto didn't come with a dent in the center column like yours, and it is much more sturdy where the legs connect to the central hub part. That's why it cost more
WHAT DOES THE FOOTAGE LOOK LIKE *FROM* THE CAMERA IN THE OVERHEAD POSITION??
You came so close to showing us. Yet so far.
It is astounding to me that not a single reviewer has thought to show us how wide an angle you can get before the tripod legs start to show. Seems like a pretty important question to me.
All my product videos since use this for the overhead sections but generally with a table.
Can you change the head on it, for a proper video head?
Yes
Did it come with a monopod?
You can convert it using one of the legs and the ballhead into a monopod :)
Ive got exact same 1. Had it 4 months 1 of the legs fell out. Contacted the supplier sent me new 1 out no hassel
Ye similar, the centre column stopped locking in place on mine after a year and they sent me a fresh one!
Damian Brown is it reliable in the long run? Sounds like there s a lot of issues on it. Im planning to buy this as well bit now i dont know
@@MrHellrider9 it is very reliable apart from tge leg falling out. They sent me a new 1 no worries.
It s nice and all but someone here in the comments got unlucky and got no replacement when their feet fell and lost them. I guess you just go for it and take the risk
@@MrHellrider9 its chance u take u cant go wrong for price. If you where paying big money then id be sceptical. But i cant fault customer service. I use all the time takes bit hammer n fine
Very good tri pod... Worth the money...
Wait, it's look like a Zomei M8?
You might be right, looks like the ball head is the main difference from the amazon photos
I bought the same one from the Photography Show, its fine.
I thought you had the gold and black one :D
Are you still happy with it? Any downsides after one year?
My centre column came apart, they sent a new tripod. The new one is having issues but nothing as bad yet and only the centre column again
Are you still happy with it or did you upgrade to something else?
Still using it!
@@DamianBrown - I can't thank you enough for this. Saw reviews left right and centre, but no one attesting to it's longitevity. Was wondering th it was worth it and now I want one.
Waiting for my One from Ebay to be delivered this end of of October 2019.. The manfrotto tripod is just by the brand and Overprice Stuff I don’t ever like it..
Go Gitzo... Only £700 more and no movable column 😎😎😎
I like my centre column and £530 or whatever i saved. Well until you send me a gitzo that is, I won't say no 😆
This looks exactly like neewer tripod ( guess they copied the design , lol )
The neewer, K&F, zomei, geekoto and several others are all made in the same factory.
Nice video but you were lucky to receive your tripod. Well sir, I have bad experience with K&F concept. I orderded a tripod and instead of delivering it to my adress they sent me off and on to the local post office to collect it there and in the post office they had nothing to show for. After numerous emails I just got some vague instructions to collect the tripod. Mind you, I paid for it 7 weeks ago. Beware for these people, if you are lucky you get your orderded stuff. In my case...I will go to my local photo shop, pay at the counter and leave the building with a tripod. Never K&F concept again.
The damn thing is 100 pounds? What?
Served me well to be fair!
@@DamianBrown Doesn't look 100 pounds.... like a pound or two :)
