Have tested the tripod a bit now and am very fond of it, you are very versatile and you can really extend from the ground to very high and stand well. I have tested other ball heads in the local market and none were as smooth in this price range.
So far, a clear recommendation to buy.

I have professionally shot medium format photography in NYC for 20 years. I'm used to HEAVY high quality tripods. I no longer need a HEAVY tripod! I'm retired & now shoot with a DSLR, Cannon G7x MII or my cell phone. I'm a big fan of the ball head & the quick release mount included! The carry bag is great to protect and store the tripod. This is fantastic for travel or hiking, getting a selfie or time lapse! It is packed full of professional features!

Does the job well, the feet look fragile with the 150 600 tamron g2, I do not try to deploy the last ones with 3kg5. We will see in time

Following a total change of my camera equipment from a reflex to a hybrid, I was looking for a new, lighter tripod. I initially directed my choice towards a carbon tripod of only 1.3KG, ideal to transport, so much that it took place directly in my backpack and no longer outside it was so light. But in use, it was something else since I was used to an Alta Pro 263AT, I had lost this freedom of movement following this change since I did not allow you to place your box in certain positions. After putting it in the closet for a bit, I decided to find a replacement for it and so I came across this model, certainly a little heavier by 300 grams but in the end which corresponds much better to my expectations thanks to the remote arm in addition to having the possibility of transforming the tripod into a monopod in a few seconds, which allowed me to separate myself from mine at the same time and to amortize the price of this tripod. Following the first tests, it is really faultless for the moment. IN SUMMARY Appreciable lightness combined with minimal bulk Shooting possible from all possible and unimaginable angles An impression of solidity which I hope will last over time I recommend! is really flawless so far.

Even though I read the reviews, I was still surprised by the compact size and weight of this tripod. The components are all quality, it's well made. I'm 6'1" (185cm) tall and use a Pentax K1 with battery grip and 24-70mm f2.8 lens. It's a tall, heavy camera setup. My immediate concern was that the tripod will be too short and if I flip the camera vertically the tripod might fall over. To my surprise, fully extended, the camera viewfinder is almost too high for me. This places the lens over the heads of most people if you're in a crowd and most DSLR cameras have a tiltable LCD screen for viewing anyway. Its also quite stable for its weight. Horizontal or vertical, the camera was in no danger of falling. I wouldn't risk it on a windy day though.

On the ballhead there are 3 separate knobs to lock rotation, ball tilt and camera base plate. All very solid. The baseplate also has a really nice bubble level and a compass that will help you align the tripod to North for astrophotography.

If you're a hiker or traveler, I highly recommend this for the price / performance ratio.

Very good customer support. Something was bent on the tripod due to an unintentional and initially unnoticed leverage and the run was no longer easy. Other manufacturers would have dismissed that as their own fault. After sending me the damage situation (pictures) and description of the affected segment, K&F helped me to put together the required spare parts and sent them to me free of charge.

I used an amazon basics tripod for years. Years and years, event after event, state after state and while it was in fact basic, it was sufficient. So after it came apart (again, this is a trunk living, flight after flight, hotel after hotel type of life for that tripod.) I'd decided especially since it was for my wedding, and I would be using it as a steady tripod set up in the corner, that it was time to upgrade. Now, I've been on a dozen or so professional shoots. But none that made me think, that is worth that amount because it's worth that much more than a basic tripod. This tripod is worth it. It's light and takes up a tiny amount of space and sets up in seconds. Thus far, the one time I've used it, it's been amazing and I'm looking forward to the traveling and shoots I'll use it for.

Travel

Very well made tripod with is exceptionally light and folds down very small for ease of transporation. Needs a weight hung below for stability but a hook already in pace for this.

Reasonable and clean workmanship (allows positions to be set precisely and reproducibly),with 90° cross arm very good for TOP view shots, offers good quality for the low price
