Good value tripod, works perfectly.
This is a nice lightweight tripod that I bought to replace an older and heavier tripod that I don't want to lug around anymore. It's nice and light, and I can attach it to the side of my backpack and carry it and all of my Fuji camera kit (2 bodies plus several lenses) around all day without problems.Folds down nice and easily. The only thing I'm not entirely sure about the sturdiness of are the clips on the legs and the latches at the top of the legs, not sure how long they will ultimately last for. Also, once you have your camera attached to the tripod head, you can't see the spirit level on the head. Need to sort that out for the updated models in future, perhaps?However, that doesn't detract from what is ultimately a very good value for money piece of kit. I was initially going to buy one of the more expensive carbon fibre K&F models, but I settled on this one as it seemed much more suited to my needs, and it could fold down to a very short length.I do like the dampened ball head, and I'm looking forward to using this tripod to get some good panoramic shots. I did have to tighten the nut on the ballhead itself (with the supplied allen key) to make sure my camera didn't fall over when it was attached to the ballhead. Apart from that, it's been a really good tripod so far.It does come with a very well made carrying bag, a nice gesture. I also like the 200cm maximum height, though I think I will be attaching my camera bag to the main stalk of the tripod body, to weigh it down in case of windy weather.A good bargain for the low price I paid, I did consider a Manfrotto, but I saw good reviews of K&F tripods from several Youtubers that I like to watch, and K&F seemed a decent enough brand (I already own a few of their lens mount adaptors for my Fuji cameras) so took the plunge.Can't wait for lockdown to end so I can go further afield and get more use out of this fantastic tripod. Recommended.
