Why I didn’t order this sooner I’ll never know. Having used my old one for 25 years seemed to be okay. Then I put this in my shopping cart and left it there for months. Telling my friends to buy this, they did. I was the hold out! Why? I do t know. If you want a tripod that’s sturdy, durable, lightweight, compact, and versatile...then THIS is your tripod! I’m kicking myself for not getting this sooner! Well worth the money!

I normally don't go over $50 for a tripod but wanted something that was a little more solid and was not large. This does the job. I use tripods 2-3 times a week for video and pictures. The K F concepts tripod is solid and has plenty of adjustments. The knobs feel tight and nothing rattles or is loose. Tripod gets very tall.

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.

Decent tripod for <$100, seems well-made and maybe worth a bit more since it's lightweight and easily packed while walking. But I would never trust my expensive cameras on it in any wind >10 knots unless attaching a bag of rocks to the hook. The legs don't spread quite as wide as better more expensive ones, but with weight attached in wind, I'd be fully confident with it. I also easily replaced the attached ball-head with my old Manfrotto ball-head with a snap-in plate and it fits perfectly (the new ball head has a wonky slide-in plate which I can see slipping/dropping the camera while trying to slide it in place). If using a cheaper 'dropper' camera, I'd have no issues at all with any of the above.

Ive had a ton of tripods over the years. I was recently out birding with a friend and he had this tripod and when I saw it I was blown away by how nice it was. Even more so I was impressed by the value and the price. A great buy overall. I've been using for about 2 weeks now and I literally have zero complaints. 10 out of 10

It’s perfect for my son! The stand is light weight but sturdyIt folds up easily a fits in the side of the back of the back pack he got.

The tripod feels sturdy even with large lenses on it.Moving the head is different to get used to. I’m used to a literal bar that you hold and twist & this one works a little differently... you just move the camera... so easier but when you’ve been doing it a different way for 30 years it’s a new way of thinking. Being able to convert to monopod is handy as you don’t have to carry both but the process does take a minute. If I know I need a quick change from tri to mono I still bring both with me.Overall I’m pleased, especially for the money.This isn’t my full time gig right now, so I’m going to shell out hundreds on a tripod. If I used it on location 8 hours a day & was tossing it around a lot really sort of abusing it, I’m not sure how long this one would hold up. But time will tell & for me as a side gig... it’s perfect & I suspect will be with me a long time.

The parts all move smoothly and are of high quality material, very durable. It's easy to set up and has a nice carrying case for travel. It is stable without being heavy which is very convenient. The clamps for extending the legs work perfectly, they are easy and quick to use yet they clamp down very securely. The price is very competitive for the quality of this tripod!
