I was really surprised who light it was and has great stability. It ha great height for night photography as it opens to 180cm. So I haven't had to try and bend down and focus at the same time. don't like using the rear screen. As it doesn't move, and you still end up looking through the lens. It look my 5D and a 150x600 lens with no play in it. I also has a hook built in to add more stability

Very pleased with this tripod nice and compact fits nicely in the side pocket of my backpack especially like the monopod feature that this tripod gives you it’s gives you so many options to getting your pictures I have another tripod which has served me well over the years but it’s a bit big and heavy so having this K&F tripod is going to be so much easier to take on photo shoots

Wow! That should say it all. This is the best tripod I have ever owned. My Manfrotto is going on Gumtree. Sorry Manny. I've also got a no name pan and tilt that doesn't even come close. I am 100 percent happy with it. The articulated boom is something I never thought I would need, now I don't know how I managed without it. A great buy at an unbelievable price.

Used for airshow photography and converting paper photos to digital thanks to the cross arm

Excellent value for money. Better than a higher priced bigger brand I had. I have only used it indoors but got on with it fine. It comes with three legs and a bracket. Much better than those two legged tripods

I bought this tripod to complement my newly acquired Canon M50.
I have different tripods for different devices, but I wanted something better for the camera. I was also interested in a special feature of this tripod that you don't always find. More about that in a moment.
The tripod was delivered quickly and packed quite small, which surprised me at first.
As it is designed as a travel tripod, it is sold with a small sturdy bag.
It fits neatly into this, if it is folded correctly. More about that in a moment.
The three telescopic legs can be extended three times. They are locked with a twist lock. It holds tightly and is easy to adjust continuously.
There are small rubber feet at the ends that guarantee a non-slip, stable stand.
The angle of inclination of the legs to the centre column is adjusted with a lock that can be easily released. This also allows the legs to be raised completely upside down on the centre column.
This adjustment is needed for two different settings, and these are the two I mentioned earlier.
Firstly, it allows the tripod to be folded smaller than if you only retract the three legs completely. And only then, and after another little trick, does it fit into the bag. (Instructions are enclosed)
On the other hand, this is necessary if you want to use the option I mentioned, which is not often found on tripods. The centre column can be removed and inserted the wrong way round, allowing you to attach the camera underneath the tripod, e.g. for shooting from below or close to the ground.
This is very practical and opens up completely new possibilities for adjusting the camera.
The centre column itself can be extended twice, with another joint in the middle.
This allows the upper part of the centre column and the head to be tilted steplessly via a ball joint at an angle from vertical to 90 degrees. At a 90 degree angle, the camera looks down vertically from above on a corresponding motif. This option was important to me personally. When I wanted to have this setting, with my other tripods it was and is always a fiddly thing.
This ball joint can also be rotated around its own axis on the centre column and also locked in place.
At the end is the completely removable and replaceable head.
This also has a locking option around its own axis, as well as another ball joint with which the mounting plate can be rotated 360 degrees and tilted slightly. There is also a recess at one point, which can be used to tilt 90 degrees.
All of this is securely fastened with a locking screw.
For better orientation and adjustment, the head has a degree marking, with an arrow.
The camera mount has a small spirit level and a quick release for the camera. (with bow on the screw).
This is inserted into two jaws and tightened. It's very easy and holds great.
I have different shapes of this mount on my tripods and I like the K&F one best.
The tripod can be extended up to 154 cm and weighs 1.6 KG.
The removable head can also be used as a monopod in combination with one of the legs.
The range of variations, the quality of workmanship and the price go well together. I am very satisfied with the tripod and use it not only for photography but also for filming.
It can be stored in a space-saving way and is therefore comfortable when travelling.
I am very satisfied with it and can only recommend it.

Needed to get something more serious for photo and video use. This thing is versatile with a bunch of configuration options. It's well made and solid.
