The tripod is much better than the plastic ones that I’ve purchased in the past month. I have purchased almost 3 tripods and they were too flimsy and did not hold up really well and I just didn’t feel like the quality was there. This one pass the test right away because it comes in a very durable and well made carry case and I’m happy that I don’t have to purchase that separately. The tripod while heavier than the plastic ones is lightweight. The feet have added traction so it’s good for use outside because the tripod stays in its place. The easy flip locks were a little bit sharp but my husband fix that for me somehow and it has been doing fine since then. I use this with my Sony A6600 and no issues. The tripod extends to 78inches which is quite tall to take photos from most angles. My husband does professional photography and he said he was actually impressed by this tripod.

I like how stable this tripod given it’s a very light camera tripod. I use it with a 70-200 lens and a heavy body on it and it’s still stable even when used at its tallest configuration. Another important feature for me is that when you fold it, unlike many others it fits in your backpack and you won’t have to carry an additional bag.

My setup is approximately 5 lbs. and this tripod works great for my uses. The ball head is very smooth (although I had issues with the first ball head. I wrote K&F and they quickly resolved the issue and replaced the ball head.) All of the height adjustments are very smooth as well. One thing that I really like is that you can remove the rubber feet for outdoor use (that might sound silly but I will use outdoors a lot and taking off the rubber feet will save wear and tear on them.) I would recommend this tripod for light weight to mid weight use.

I wanted a good quality tripod for long exposure photography and I’m very pleased with this one. I’ve had it stood on the shore whilst the tide came in and the water didn’t shake it, and the photos turned out lovely. I’ve been using it for product photography too and I’m able to get a nice angle.
It’s quick and easy to set up and pack away too

This was a gift to my "other half". He is exceedingly pleased with it. As he is quite tall (6'4") he needs a tall tripod, and it is difficult to find one at a reasonable price. Altogether, he says 5 stars.

So far, I’ve used this tripod for landscape photos and I am very happy! It is lightweight and portable. I can take it anywhere without having to stress about taking a while to set up.

I've just begun using this tripod after years of using my reliable old Gitzo. Everything about this K&F tripod exceeds my expectations. I didn't expect such a well-thought-out design, such fine machine work, great choices of materials, and tough finish for the $80 price. At my favorite local camera store, travel tripods of this quality cost two to four times as much.If there's one thing I might change, and only if I use it for movies, it would be the head. In that case, I'd want one with a handle that extends several inches for panning.I haven't added any photos because those already in the listing are perfect.No, nobody's paid me to write this.

Use this as a webcam tripod for my DSLR. The minimum height might be a bit high, but it allows you to reverse the orientation of the mount and have a more grounded viewing angle
