The large plate size, being larger than a tripods standard plate gives more stability to those larger camera bodies.

 The Carbon Fibre legs of the K&F tripod have 5 stages. They are extended through a sturdy twist lock system allowing for a quick and secure height adjustment. The spiral locking knobs are lined with grippy rubber. The clever system does not allow the leg to turn when tightening, so with a quick turn the legs are locked. The legs open out to give you a well-supported and stable shooting platform. The orange aluminium push clip at the top of the leg allows for a quick adjustment, choosing between 3 adjustable footprint settings. The legs also have the ability to open wide allowing you to get the camera closer to the ground. This function comes in handy when shooting landscapes with low foreground or a reflection in a pond.
