The tripod (K&F Concept T254A4) leaves nothing to be desired. Advantages: + Very compact with only 50 cm + Very high load capacity with 10 kg + Very flexible, there is no point within reach of the tripod where the camera cannot be attached + Conversion to monopod + Really quick conversion of the center column + Arca Swiss tripod plates fit + Much higher than specified Disadvantages: - Ball head and other moving parts are greased (unsuitable for sandstorms) - Grub screw for monopod must always be carried separately I have now tested the tripod extensively and can say in advance: For this price, the tripod has the 5 stars earned. It comes with a padded bag with reflective strips and carrying strap. But with the bag and accessories, we weigh 2.4 kilos. The legs can be adjusted and extended individually at any angle and can also be rotated overhead. The ball head (unfortunately greased) runs very smoothly and makes a stable impression. All tightening screws grip tightly and could be tightened considerably further after they have been tightened. The tripod can be extended much higher than specified. If both center columns are extended, then I get to about 190 cm! There is a hook under the tripod for attaching weights, and a small bag is also included in the scope of delivery. This has to be removed first if you want to convert the tripod into a monopod, which is easily possible with an enclosed grub screw and nut and is really uncomplicated. As can be seen in the photos, the center column can also be mounted the other way around for deep shots. Thus, a working height of 5cm-195cm is possible. Conclusion: The tripod does what it should and even more. It is stable and extremely flexible to use. Despite the relatively small pack size, with which it fits perfectly into my backpack, you can extend it up to 190 cm. Excellent!
