Set it up to watch the baby monitor holds the camera like it should . In a few years it will be trash like everything else we buy on K&F Concept

Function as the very expensive product. Reliable

This is a seriously excellent piece of gear. All functions are quick and easy to use and it's rock solid.

A nice versatile camera tripod that allows camera stabilization in almost any position. The adjustment for height is simple and allows for easy leveling on uneven ground. The tripod has a big enough footprint to be stable yet is a reasonable size, so it is not constantly in the way.

The ball system allows the camera to be moved in a 360-degree sweep and point straight up and down. Bulky cameras may not be able to achieve straight up and down due to camera parts getting in the way, but most cameras can do so.

The tripod is a bit on the heavy side but is much more stable than many lighter tripods. It appears durable and should last for several years of even rough use. The ability to convert to a monopod is helpful in some outdoor applications, and it is nice to be able to interchange between the two modes with minimal fuss and without having to buy two systems.

The handy soft-sided carrying case is well designed and durable. The tripod is easy to return to the case, but there is not much extra room for storing additional items. It provides good protection for the tripod from scraping, etc., but it is soft-sided, so it will not prevent damage if heavy objects end up on top of it or it gets bent.

Overall a nice camera tripod that should give many years of use.

replacing my 20 year old tripod w this 255c2; compacts down real nice and is slightly taller that my old one! time will tell how it holds up!

Unlike most carbon fiber tripod in this price range, this tripod comes with an actual video head and not the usual ball head photography head.

Everything comes in a really nice case. It is a soft padded bag that is certainly better than other tripods in this price range.

To sum up I guess I would say there is nothing here that will blow you away. Everything is solid and seems to have avoided the pitfalls of other tripods in this price range. Just a good tripod with a video head that should last you at least a few years depending on how rough you are with your tripods.

I own several tripods. Hands down, none of them even comes close to the quality of this finely engineered, precision instrument. EVERY moving piece on this tripod is SOOOO smooth – even the screw cap locks for the leg extensions just effortlessly loosen and tighten, and the ball head rotates like the finest telescope. If you’re serious about your photography or videography, this tripod will not let you down.
It’s a fantastic tripod of superior quality and comes with everything you need to start shooting right out of the box

Easy to put together! Attached my camera and have already made 2 videos

The tripod is everything as it was advertised, especially the sturdiness and weight, fits easily into the backpack

This is an excellent quality build tripod. It weighs the same as my excellent Manfrotto BeFree tripod but is larger and more sturdy. The release on the head connecting to the camera requires a short screw on and off rather than the usual quick release snap but this isn't a major issue to me. The head is completely screwed off anyway and can be replaced with anything you might prefer (I swap it with the head from my Manfrotto and an ancient pan-and-tilt head). The head replacement system is extremely good but requires strong hands and a bit of thought. I have the gold version but wish it was done in a non-shiny gold/silver version but that's a small issue. I actually like holding this tripod as it feels good quality for such a lightweight.
