Victiv Camera Monopod
Score: 72/100
K&F Concept 78-inch Tripod
Score: 80/100Rankings
The K&F Concept 78" tripod provides a tall 200 cm reach, 10 kg load capacity and a 2-in-1 monopod conversion while staying under 1.5 kg, appealing to travelers needing versatility. Its aluminum legs can flex in windy conditions and the extended center column reduces overall stability. Best for amateur to intermediate photographers who value height and flexibility over ultra-rigid studio performance.
The Victiv T72 is a lightweight aluminum tripod-monopod that converts quickly, includes a wireless remote and phone/tablet holder, and supports up to 15 kg of gear. The head is less refined and monopod mode reduces load capacity, which may affect heavy-gear users. It targets amateur photographers and vloggers seeking height and convenience.
