An amazing tripod, very stable, with equally fantastic features, my only problem is the lack of instructions on how to use it, for example: how to change it to me a monopodBut once you have figured it out, wow its just a fantastic piece of equipment and I think well worth the price

Pleasantly surprised with the characteristics of this tripod, a great balance between lightness and robustness, without sacrificing versatility and at a tremendously competitive price.
This aluminum tripod, which weighs around one and a half kilos, nevertheless offers great stability. It is very comfortable to transport, both in the folded and unfolded position and the pack includes a bag made of thick and resistant material to carry the tripod.
The tripod legs have 3 removable sections, all of which are quite thick, held in place with the clip system. even with the tripod fully extended they offer great stability. The tweezers are very comfortable to open and close and allow the legs to be removed and picked up very quickly.
The opening angle of the legs has 4 adjustable positions from the lever on each leg:
1-In folded mode, the legs are upside down, open 180°.
2-In normal mode, from the folded mode we stretch the legs and they automatically lock in an opening range of approximately 0 to 30°.
3-With the mentioned tabs we can open the legs more, around 45° or 60°.
4- The tabs allow us to place the legs parallel to the ground, open at 90°.
Versatility is another of its strengths. The central bar is extendable and also mobile and reversible, to achieve shots at ground level. This center bar includes a hook to hang weight and increase stability. With the tripod fully extended, we can raise and extend the center bar, at the cost of sacrificing some stability, reaching a similar height to my vision standing up.
Another quirky feature is that one of its legs can be unscrewed and screwed onto the center pole to turn it into a monopod.
In short, I especially appreciate that it does not have the two problems that my old travel tripod from a famous tripod brand had: the camera is well supported and stable (load up to 10kg), and the final sections of the legs are not as thin as to cause lack of stability by bending.
It will certainly be my new travel tripod and also for daily interior photography, we'll see how it holds up with continued use, but the feeling is very good.

So, I had to send the first one back. The centre column was not straight. In fact it was quite a way from being plumb. I checked all the locking nuts etc, even measuring the individual legs but no, it was defective. When the centre column was extended and the large orange locking nut was tightened, it pulled the column to one side. It was also noticeable when not extended. Not want you want with a tripod.Not a good start but with good customer service from Amazon, I obtained a refund and ordered another. This time success!This is a great tripod. The photo's of it are accurate. It feels good and it looks good. It has a good 'weight' to it and does appear to be well made. The ball head clamp tightens up well and there is no movement. Same with the legs, the lever locks are very good and once locked off there is no movement. An Allan key is provided to tighten up the bolts should the need arise.I'm glad I wasn't put off by my first experience with this tripod. I have confidence in this tripod with my expensive gear on top!

Nothing I dislike about this tripod. It is one of the better ones I ever had. I would buy it again anytime.

This tripod is perfect! Stays still in windy weather, and perfect for a heavy camera. It’s compact and light to carry around.

Thank you K&F Concept for yet another awesome product!!!Just received this tripod, and I've got to say - I am completely blown away by how sturdy it is!I've been using a very basic, light-weight tripod for years (super flimsy, blows at the slightest wind, and honestly didn't think I needed anything else since it served its purpose on the most basic level; however, I've started recently getting into more photography of the human variety so figured I'd splurge on something a bit more functional.I also really enjoy long exposure, and astro photography, and I can already tell this is going to serve all of my purposes (and then some).Material quality and weight:This is a little heavy, but it's not unmanageable, and it comes with a really nice (padded!) carrying case. I could see myself bringing this on hikes easily (maybe not an 8 hour hike, but for a couple of hours? sure why not!), and will definitely bring it along for weddings and portrait sessions.Ball Head and movable areas for transitioning:This is a feature that, up until I received this tripod, I wasn't sure I wanted.The ball is larger than I expected, and is extremely secure. For reference, I've tested it with a NIkon Z5 (mirrorless, but heavy) and a 20mm s-line lens (also heavy...). Absolutely no worries with trusting my camera on this.Legs:The clips when changing position of the legs seems really secure. Time will tell with repeated use and adjustments, but even the clips that allow you to move the legs to "closed" position are metal, so I don't really see this becoming an issue with repeated opening and closing.The ability to position the centre pole downwards to take low/from-the-ground-looking-up photos is a welcomed treat.Something else I didn't know I wanted/needed until now was the fact that one of the legs has rubber/padded material so that you can grip the tripod better when adjusting it from one position to the next. What a small, yet significant, feature. It really is the little things that matter the most.I'll update my review if anything changes (i.e. durability, screws stripping in areas where they're required), but just judging from my first impressions inspecting this one compared to lesser tripods - I don't really see this one having any issues lasting for at least a few years (if not more).100% worth the price imo, especially considering there are more well-known brands that are extremely more expensive for a lower quality product.

Was looking for a tripod at under 100$. Went for some reviews and found this. This one is not the carbon fiber so it has some weight. But easy to cary. Fits in every travel occassion. If you can spend little over 100$ you will get carbon fiber tripod
