To be straight forward on this review want you to know that I really like what this company offers in quality picture taking accessory items. This Tripod kept my faith and gathered my full approval forthright.

It has almost everything going for it. It stands tall and mighty at a full 70 inches. From there you have a folded up compactness for toting of only 17 inches. That feature does sacrifice the use of a center brace. However, the construction of the legs is solid reinforcement and the need for a cross brace in most instances of image capturing in the field is rare, or so it is for me.

The zippered carrying bag is of good quality, the locking snaps on the tripod's legs are positive acting and smooth. One hand adjustments to height of the stand can easily be achieved using only one hand.
The top of the mount has an appropriate tiny arm extension that holds the bubble level. The quick connect works very smoothly and without suggesting that there can be danger from a sudden dismount of a camera or scope.

THE STAR OF THE SHOW:
Now we come to the greatest feature of this tripod's accessory package.
A well designed wireless phone adapter. I usually have no regard for these damaging bear-traps that can destroy a valuable phone. Not in this case because you set the grip, not torturous springs that can exert far too much pressure on the surround of your phone and in some cases upon the edges of the screen itself. This accessory by K&F Concepts for mounting the phone in a pinch situation, is one of the best in the biz. Well made, good machining, secure grip pads...and you set the amount by turning the grip pressure adjusting machine screw with a large grooved knob at one end.
I never put my phone into one of these gadgets on other accessory packages but this one from K&F is a welcomed exception to my usual opinion and non-use of such an item. I actually celebrated this surprise by using the adapter and affixing my phone to the top of the tripod. It is a quality, useful item, and contributes substantially to the value of this tripod.

I think you are beginning to see why I like this company...they think things out, they listen, and they design to please the marketplace.

Great tripod at a very modest price. It is an excellent value so it receives my full approval with Five
BIG STARS.
