regularly use K&F lens adapters which are excellent value, so I had no hesitation about buying this tripod. I have to say that at this price point it's outstanding. It's extremely light and portable, but above all it's very sturdy. It even comes with a great Ball head with an Arca Swiss type fitting. I've now ditched my Manfrotto in favour of the K&F.I recently lent the tripod to a family member. Unfortunately it came back damaged through misuse. I contacted K&F customer service, and they have been brilliant. Each email I sent was replied to within a few hours. They have pulled out all the stops to fix my tripod. Great product, fantastic customer service.

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

don't know what I expected with this really, but having now used it for a while I thought I'd write a review. First off, it is a reasonable height, folds to a very compact size, is lightweight and fairly sturdy with my Panasonic G9 and even the long 100-300 zoom lens fully extended. It does feel a little rough around the edges in some parts if you compare it to a £300 product, but how can you complain at this price. The Ball-head is good, not brilliant but it does the job. It's fully arca-swiss compatible and takes my Peak Design capture plates perfectly. And of course you can replace the head if you like. It comes in a neat bag with the head covered by a velvet bag. One minus point - there is no pocket in the bag to hold the allen key, tripod mount, double connector and small extension tube which are supplied. That means they can be easily lost. I keep them in the velvet bag and leave parts at home unless I think I'll be using them. The monopod option is great and works well but you will need some of the parts in the bag so again - a pocket would have made it perfect. Then again, you can buy tripod bags separately This tripod has so many features and functions, and whilst it is a little clumsy and fiddly in how it does them - it does do them! Again, at the price you can't complain. You can invert the central column for working close to the ground, or swing it perpendicular to the ground for top down product shots. The legs are individually adjustable so even on uneven ground you can get it level. When you clamp the camera into a certain position there is a little movement so you do have to be careful and adjust a couple of times to get the perfect framing - this is a sign of the cheaper product but again it is minor. I also wanted a travel tripod but to be honest I'm struggling to find one which packs more compactly than this (39cm) or is significantly lighter (1.6Kg - 1638 grams to be precise) even when looking at carbon fibre Overall, I'd happily stand this up against products twice the price, or even more. A slightly better bag and slightly better ballhead would make this the product of the year for sure.

Sturdy Well designed No issues with it I recommend it.

This tripod is a beast! Whilst it may not have the name "Manfrotto" or "3 Legged Thing" all over it, it is more than capable for it's price point! Having switched to this from a similarly priced Manfrotto, albeit a much smaller tripod I am initially surprised with the similarly in quality. Whilst the Manfrotto feels ever so slightly more refined, the K&F blows it out the park with height, versatility and ease of use! I always found the Manfrotto locking mechanisms very small, fidgety and likely to give me small blisters from repeated adjustment. Whereas the K&F model has comfortably sized levers/screws. The ability to dettach one leg and use it as a monopod is an excellent addition and the additional grip on this leg is nicely positioned and very comfortable. The ability to move the main central point to a over the top arm for top down/lay flat is amazing! This creates much more potential, and having all this in ONE tripod is a bonus. Overall this tripod feels very well built and feels like it will stand the test of time! There are only three cons I can find! - The included bag is not the greatest of materials and the added shoulder strap has plastic vs metal clips. However if your dedicated camera bag has space for a tripod this isn't an issue. - The twist locks on each leg are plastic, however they do feel very strong and not flimsy at all. Being used to aluminium locks on the Manfrotto tripod I noticed this immediately. - The springs that hold ratchet locks on each leg tight are a little flimsy, again being used to a different mechanism on the Manfrotto this bares no effect on quality and durability. If anything they are actually easier to release as the spring isn't extremely stiff! Who would I recommend this to? Anyone! This tripod is capable of meeting the needs of all photographers at all levels in my opinion! Whilst it may not be as rugged as some higher end brands, the fact remains that it is of very high quality and packed full of features. 10/10 for me.

Tripod matches the desciption. Delivery is very fast and well packed. Very useful tripod for its price. I recommend

This tripod looks fantastic, is incredibly versatile and adjustable and appears to have very build quality. It is clear that some serious engineering has gone in to to design - the level of adjustment is quite incredible, and there is not a single element that feels flimsy or poorly conceived. I am really impressed.

What a great bit of kit, the tripod is so versatile and can be set in many different shooting positions safely and securely, I would be interested to see how the K&F Gimbal performs on this tripod, come on K&F send me one out and I will give it a road test and write a full review for you. Highly Recommended

I've always disliked tripods as I feel they are restrictive, but this is a great piece of kit! It's light, it's easy to set up, the 360 arm is perfect for my needs and it comes in a strong carry case. Highly recommended

This product is well made, stable and robust. Does the job well.
