68'' Professional Carbon Fiber Camera Video Tripod with Detachable Monopod & 30mm Metal Ball Head 26.4lbs Max Load - X Series X254C4+BH-30 (Red Dot Award)

Iam pleasantly surprised as a photographer for over 50 years this is a nicely made tripod. It’s light and well made. It took a few minutes to figure out the monopod because the instructions don’t explain how to detach the leg and head to create it. Once together it feels awesome and easy to use it’s nice that it all fits into the bag, the bag should have been made a bit larger the fit is very tight.

a premium tool to grab on any occasion. an overall tripod to suggest to you. Pricey, but perfect.

great product, exactly as I wanted it -

A solidly built tripod, that feels pro, and an intermediate price. Allows for lots of versatility and configuration too. All adjustability is solid, and the materials are quality. Stability is really nice on my Sony mirrorless camera,, with a pretty hefty lens. K&F makes some really nice camera gear!

Exactly what I wanted and needed. Well-made, strong and sturdy, it holds my D850 and heavy telephoto lens like a champ. I'm pretty certain it will take all the abuse that I normally give such equipment. Extremely happy with purchase!

Meet my expectations, stable and easy to manipulate.

If you’re looking to upgrade your current tripod or you’re beginning and you are looking to get yourself a good tripod to start off than this K&F tripod is absolutely worth being considered!There is so many ways to adjust it to your desired angle and the fact that you can unscrew it and use it a pole to capture some nice « drone » like videos is simply amazing.The overall built quality is over the top, there is no way this thing can break by itself of even with accidentals drops, and the coolest thing is that it’s made out of carbon fiber so it weighs barely nothing!10/10 i would recommend it.

The carbon fiber in this tripod does an amazing job at keeping the whole thing very light and portable. The rest of the hardware (locking cams to extend the legs, adjustable center post) are also high quality, durable, and rugged.The included ball head is just ok though - it's fine, but not excellent. I likely will swap it out for one of my higher-quality heads, but for testing this tripod the included ball head is fine. It does fit common lock plates, and I had no trouble fitting my mirrorless camera with an existing lock plate onto the ball head. The ball head itself has what feels like a plastic handle, and a plastic ball. Also, the top plate was not securely attached when the tripod arrived, and even though it came with an allen wrench to tighten things, I *really* had to crank down on the center bolt in the ball head top plate to get it secured. The whole design of the ball head is... mediocre.The center post also has a sturdy hook where you can hang a sand bag or your camera bag to add some extra stability for a shoot. The ability to convert 1 leg into a monopod is a great feature, and is one that I've used extensively on some of my other tripods, so I was very glad to see that included.This tripod is an excellent choice when traveling, or whenever you need to save weight but still need a good tripod for your camera.

Let me start by saying that I use various easels and that in recent years I have "discovered" K&F, a Chinese manufacturer that is making quality its trademark, offering an easel like this entirely in Carbon at a reasonable price (compared to more famous brands). This Cavalletto doesn't make you regret anything, on the contrary! Let's start by saying that it is entirely made of carbon and in addition to holding 16KG of load without problems (tested with 8 kg) it is extraordinarily light (just over 1 kg excluding head). The legs are made up of 4 sections, one leg has the classic neoprene covering (I think) and, what is not negligible, one leg can be dismantled and used as if it were a monopod. The stand has a central column (also in carbon) with a height of approximately 40 cm, adjustable and equipped with a practical hook to hang a counterweight. The sections (if used) bring the height of the stand to a maximum of 173 cm (head excluded) and once closed the maximum occupancy does not exceed 60 cm Among the many easels used, this one is certainly among the "top" ones, both for its equipment and for the feeling of robustness, which for me is of fundamental importance as it normally has to ensure that the expensive equipment does not fall! The easel is supplied of: - Transport case with shoulder strap and handle - Ball head with quick release and bubble - Set of Allen keys for dismantling (maintenance) operations Ultimately, a professional tripod at the right price. PRO - Entirely in Carbon - Thickness of the remarkable legs - Removable tips - High quality materials - Attention to detail - Equipment CONS - Nothing to report I hope this mini review has been useful to you.

extraordinary tripod, of excellent quality. It arrives home in a rather simple and not even particularly robust box. Let's say that the first impact was not the best. Inside, however, I found a very respectable briefcase case, robust, very pretty and comfortable to carry. It has two practical handles held together with Velcro but inside the case I also find a shoulder strap so I can also carry the tripod on the shoulder. Inside the case I found: - the tripod; - the shoulder strap; -3 hex keys; -2 small user manuals written only in English and Chinese. Although there is no translation into Italian, the instructions are understandable thanks to the numerous images that explain how to use the tripod but in fact it is all very intuitive. The first thing that struck me about this tripod is the quality of the materials, it is very sturdy but at the same time light and comfortable to carry around. Especially because when closed it takes up very little space, in fact it is just 50 cm long. But once opened it becomes enormous , it opens easily and the length is incredible, measuring 175 cm. The legs can in fact be extended into 4 different sections in order to adjust the height impeccably and position the tripod even on steep terrain without problems. Among the other in the upper part it also has a practical level or bubble that allows me to position it perfectly straight. The legs are easily adjusted, just unscrew the wheel corresponding to the section to be adjusted. The feet are completely rubberized and give stability to the tripod. But the The extraordinary aspect of this tripod is that it can be dismantled to create a monopod. In short, it is an extraordinarily well made product, definitely suitable for professional use and very comfortable and versatile. Therefore I recommend it without a shadow of a doubt, the quality-price ratio is correct.
