The tripodhead can then be attached to the monopod, which gives you the functionality of aball head as well as the quick release of your camera when required. A monopodis ideal when maximum manoeuvrability is required, like moving within crowds. Itassists in stability when shooting, allowing for lower shutter speeds on longfocal length lenses. A monopod also helps to relieve the weight of larger, heavylenses.28mm Aluminium Ball HeadThis photo tripod is supplied with a solid 28mm ball head machined fromaluminium alloy and anodised in K&F's signature orange. A ball head is idealwhen you need to frame up a shot quickly; you can free the head, make theadjustments, and then lock your camera in that position with little effort. Thisball head can handle a 10kg camera load, which is more than most camera setupsweigh. The head has a fluid-head action making for a smooth 360-degree pan forpanoramic shots, with degree markings on the head for an accurate pan, usefulfor landscape photography. The built-in spirit level on the ball head helps withgetting your camera perfectly horizontal when required.Quick Release PlatesThe KF09.089 comes with an extra quick release base plate, meaning 2 x cameraplates are included.

With the dual-stage extendable centre column, atwist lock raises the camera to a maximum height of 170cm. The legs open out togive a well-supported and stable shooting platform. The push clip at the top ofeach leg allows a quick adjustment between 3 footprint settings.
