I've never really cared about carbon fiber tripods, I've been using metal tripods for years and liked their weight. When the K&F Concept 67" Carbon Fiber Camera Tripod arrived I was surprised at how light it was. The ball head is the heaviest part of the tripod. Now I have to admit I have a low profile KFconcept ball head so I swapped it out for this tripod. The legs are smooth and quick to release and hold and I like how premium it feels.

The tripod held up to everything I threw at it. I went out for a four hour shoot and took a few star trail shots. The tripod was so sturdy I didn't have to line up any shots in Photoshop! No camera shake, no movement. It was SOLID.

I did a few macro shots and again, no movement and the image was pin sharp.

The last one I tried was a 6 minute sunrise shot and again the tripod was sturdy even in wind. I didn't weigh the tripod down with my bag. It wasn't necessary..

If you are in the market for a new tripod I would recommend this highly recommend, you will not be disappointed. It is VERY sturdy and I would happily use it and am already using it for my paid photography work.
