This tripod stabilises the camera or camcorder, giving you clear photos and videos.The K&F Concept Tripod is made of aluminium and features a 360-degree fluid head with a quick-release plate for stability and smooth pans and tilts. Its height is adjustable from 84cm to 184 cm and is locked in place with flip locks. It also has a maximum load capacity of 17.6lb, making it suitable for most DSLRs and camcorders.Furthermore, the tripod comes with a carry bag and is simple to set up and disassemble. However, the tripod's other components, such as the leg clamps, hinges, and other smaller parts, are made of plastic, reducing its durability. The tripod also lacks bubble levels to ensure that it is properly set up when taking photos or videos.Overall, this tripod has a decent build and works as it should. While it has some flaws, it is still a good tripod that is compatible with a variety of DSLR cameras, camcorders, gimbals, video rigs, and so on.

I was pleasantly surprised with how sturdy this tripod is and its a good size one as well. All my others are smaller, more for compactness and travel, but I do have any older one that is similar to this one. This is built really tough and a decent weight and height. I really like the quality and the fluid head which was the whole reason I got this. I haven't used this in the field yet but setting it up at home and checking out did impress me so I see no issues with using this.

This tripod is a nice step up from the stick-leg style that I have been using. It adds quite a bit more stability and features for not that much more money. It's not as good as the higher end pro models, but I feel they made some decent compromises to keep the cost down while still maintaining features. The main parts of the tripod like the legs, cross support, and head are metal, but the leg clamps, hinges, and some other smaller parts are plastic. This affects durability, so you are going to have to take care of it if you want it to last. To that end, this tripod includes a really nice padded soft case for storing it in. The case even has a small interior pocket for storing accessories like the included shoulder strap and hex wrenches.The fluid head movement is smooth for both tilt and rotation, and the handle is pretty easy to position where you want it. I like the bowl set for leveling out the head, though it could be a little smoother when moving it. I think the rough textured paint finish might be causing the roughness. The tripod legs have rubber feet snapped on to ball ends that are fixed in place. I don't think they can be removed for adding on spike feet for outdoor use.The QR plate is similar in size to some other tripod and stabalizer plates I have (larger than Arca-style), and have a safety lock to prevent your camera falling to the ground when you loosen the QR clamp. The plate doesn't slide very smoothly in the clamp, again probably due to the textured painted finish. I own some other K&F Concepts products and they seem to do pretty well with picking decent quality products to put their brand name on. Overall, I'm pretty happy with this tripod.

Very impressed with this sturdy, well made tripod. Heavy duty. Now just have to get a telescope.

This is a very serious tripod for video or photography. The unit is a bit heavy even though it's all aluminum but I only need to use it in the field on occasion so no worried there.It is similarly heavy duty as the Leofoto carbon fiber one I got a few months ago that is also for serious shooting all day in the field.I have a lot of K&F Concepts gear and all of their stuff is high quality with excellent build and materials for years of reliable use.
