A lot o plastic used, so not sure if it would be great for a lot of outdoor hiking, but fine for my light use. I would say, if you don't use the bottom leg extension it is pretty sturdy. Since I use the flip screen on my Panasonic G80 this is not an issue.

UPDATE:Since writing this review about the piece that broke which I fixed, the seller contacted me and offered me a partial refund which I accepted. I was not expecting this level of customer service and have upgraded to 4 stars because of this.The Good:Good quality right out of the box, and first impressions were good on how robust it is, how stiff the joints are, how tightly it can be locked off, and how versatile it is at maneuvering into any position you care to think of.Overall, it is a pleasure to use, it looks nice, feels nice and is easy to set up. The foam grip is really nice to handle. The ball head locks off with a heavy DSLR nice an stable. The legs adjust in or out individually at any arbitrary angle from 0-180 degrees, but lock off at 4 separate fixed points for more stability with the spring loaded buttons at the top of each leg. It goes quite high and also pretty low, and if you flip it upside-down it goes that extra bit right down to the floor for macro photography or dramatic shots.The bag it comes with, with optional shoulder strap is very robust and padded, and would be suited to mountaineering. It's quite portable too. There is a sprung loaded clip on the bottom which you can hang a bag of shopping off of to keep it more sturdy in the wind if needs be. There is also a 360 spirit bubble on the head if anyone ever uses them.The panning is very useful for panoramic photo merges, because it has markers to follow for each shot, giving you a very consistent photo merge, at least that's the idea, which leads me into the bad....The bad:1. Upon only the second use, the pan head tightening screw, which is the smallest one, wasn't quite tightening up and locking it, so I gave it another good twist and the threads in the pan head stripped easily and the screw was now useless. Not only would it not tighten, but the whole head became loose and wobbly, and generally unusable, because the threads were way too shallow and easy to strip. Luckily I was able to use an M8 bolt to grind out new threads (it's only aluminium so was easy with a vice and spanner) and then use my 3D printer to print a new knob (bigger and easier to use this time) to hot glue on the hex head. After rounding off the tip of the bolt on my bench grinder this is a marked improvement on the original design as it takes less finger strength to lock it off now. It took me a whole morning to fix this, but I didn't want to have to send it all back.2. The panning does have another problem which could have cost me a new camera were I not able to catch it in time: If you try panning to the right while locked off (easy to do), it can force the head to unscrew from the base of the shaft, and this is a short bolt. If you don't notice it, the whole head can just fall off, as it nearly did before I caught it. One more thing to watch out for. I took it apart and moved the inner bolt further down and gave it more thread to grip to the shaft and used all my strength to force it tight so it doesn't easily do this again.3. There is one more thing with panning... the whole shaft sometimes wiggles with the pan, where you think you've locked off the shaft after raising/lowering it, but you need a bit more strength to really lock it off. I'm sure I'll just get used to having to do this though.4. The feet should be more dome shaped, since the angles of the legs allow you do ridiculous angles. It's okay on carpet, but the flat feet seem misplaced on this tripod when on a solid floor going at extreme angles.Overall, this is my 3rd tripod now, and is instantly my favourite, despite it's issues which I can overcome. I'm more pleased since I got it in Amazon lightning deals. My other tripods are more traditional, and very cheaply made. You can do a lot worse than this tripod, but then it also shows why there are more expensive ones on the market.

I bought this to take on vacations, it weighs a little over a kilo less than my old tripod which is great for making the 50lb limit, it also collapses to a smaller size so it's easy to pack and also offers more adjustability with it's latches at the top of each leg so you can lower it almost flat to the ground. I really like this tripod and it is perfect for my 6" height, I can use my DSLR without having to bend over to look through the viewfinder. The ball head is solid enough to hold my camera with lens and is easily adjustable for any angle you may need. I recommend this and would purchase again if needed.

Very well made tripod, it is reasonably compact and nice and light. It assembles very easy and has lots of nice features including the bag to carry it in. If anyone is looking for a reasonably priced reliable tripod then look no further than this one.

Couldn't wait to receive this tripod. It is very stable even when the legs are fully extended on its lowest setting, which by the way is extremely low. This was the main draw for me when researching for a versatile tripod for use with landscape and portrait photography. The heights this tripod covers will enable you to achieve almost all compositions you could ever want. Just see how I've set the tripod up in the attached photo whilst testing its ultra low angle capabilities where it performed very well indeed. The ball head of the tripod is good however the bubble level is hidden when your camera is attached and needs to be levelled before attaching the camera unless you have a separate spirit level attachment for your camera. This bubble is also of no use when the central column is inverted for extremely low angle compositions, or in "macro" setup, as shown in my attached photo, as you simply can't see it. Panning is smooth and tension on the ball is controlled using the securing screw and all works perfectly well. It also has a protective bag for the ball head which is a nice touch. It is very lightweight and easy to carry with it's foam grip on one of the legs, and it folds down extremely small and compact thanks to the legs folding back 180° on themselves. The only thing i would have liked included is a seperate short axial column as included in the TM2515 and some of K&F's other higher spec tripods as this would allow for an even lower upright position for your camera without having to invert the central column. This would make ultra low angle shots easier as once inverted your camera is upside down, which makes using the controls on the top of your camera a little awkward. Though with practice this would become much easier and using a shutter release cable would also make it easier. Seeing the lcd screen on your camera is also a bit of a pain at such low angles but getting low down is just one of them things you have to do sometimes to get the composition that you need and is well worth it for a composition that stands out. Overall for a very stable, extremely versatile tripod, which comes with a good ball head and which offers such ultra low angle compositions. Is very portable and for just under £54. This comes highly recommended and I believe it is unmatched in terms of value for money and quality at this price range. The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is the lack of a short axial column and the spirit level on the ball head being hidden by the camera. I wish I'd bought it bundled with the K&F bag as K&F Concept obviously produce products of very high quality.

This is a great product sturdy construction top quality at a great price.Very fast delivery highly recommended.

The TM2324 has the lever lock type on the leg extensions and that works better for me. I am very impressed with the quality, size when folded and the price point makes this unit amazing. I never knew using a ball head tripod would be so smooth and versatile. The quick release is excellent for my Rebel T6i with a 100mm macro lens. Over all for me this is an A+ tripod and I recommend it for sure.

Looks good, easy to use compact and good quality as expected.Comes with a bag and fits my canon T6i

This tripod is ideal and light to carry It is robust as well as hansomley crafted. It’s the dogs Bollxxks of medium sized Tripods

Excellent tripod, I’m so impressed. I am new to photography but have brought a few tripods in the past but this is the sturdiest I have used. It’s easy to erect and collapse, folds away nicely and is easy to store. This is certainly perfect for me to continue learning and experimenting with
