78"/2m Overhead Aluminum DSLR Tripod Compact Portable Vlog Tripod Monopod 22lbs/10kg Load, K234A7+BH-28L (S210)
SKU: KF09.087
I needed a tripod to hold up a tele-promoter. It weighs a bit more and this tripod stated it could hold several pounds. I've been using for a couple months now and I am very happy with the performance of the tripod. I'd recommend this product for any type of need in tripod. It holds several pounds and is still light weight to carry if necessary.

Because of Covid, I've been using video more than ever. My phone has significantly better quality of video than anything else I have, but I don't need a ringlight type of set up since I'm not doing instagram kind of stuff. While a tad pricey, this product is easy to use, well designed and built, and has more features and ease of use than the old tripod I had been using. If you need better than cheap but don't need professional (although, this is professional quality in regards to my needs), give this product a try.

Decent tripod for <$100, seems well-made and maybe worth a bit more since it's lightweight and easily packed while walking. But I would never trust my expensive cameras on it in any wind >10 knots unless attaching a bag of rocks to the hook. The legs don't spread quite as wide as better more expensive ones, but with weight attached in wind, I'd be fully confident with it. I also easily replaced the attached ball-head with my old Manfrotto ball-head with a snap-in plate and it fits perfectly (the new ball head has a wonky slide-in plate which I can see slipping/dropping the camera while trying to slide it in place). If using a cheaper 'dropper' camera, I'd have no issues at all with any of the above.

Fantastic tripod, even holds my dslr steady with a 300mm telephoto lens installed. Pans really smooth if your doing video.

The tripod is better than I expected. It's not too heavy for me and it is very adaptable. It says 78 inch but it is actually just over 77 inches. Even though the adjustment knobs work great they are not replaceable if you choose to use a different style. I personally would rather have that option. I.E. bigger knobs for my weak hands. I also purchased two L brackets and the tripod works perfect with them. I don't like the tight fit in the bag and was hoping there was a place on the tripod itself for attaching a sling but there isn't. All in all I would buy another one if need be.

Used it for hunting to mount binos and spotting scope. Works perfect for a 5'11" person

I use this tripod with an iOptron Skyguider Pro and DSLR for astrophotography. It works great for that purpose as long as I keep a low center of gravity during long exposures. When either the center column or legs are fully extended with that much weight, it does become more prone to movement but that is to be expected. I love how portable and easy to set up it is. It's great quality for the cost.

The ball on top can hold a large amount of weight including my large phased array antenna. My old tripod would droop after a while of holding the weight. This one also allows for the legs to extend really far apart to prevent large objects from being blown over.

I replaced my first starter tripod with this one and I am very glad I did. I have used it for astrophotography, long exposure at waterfalls, and other landscape photography. I carried it hiking at Glacier national Park as well as a couple other state parks near me. It is not the lightest tripod, but it's not bad. I had never used a ball head before and am still getting the hang of that, but it is certainly very versatile. It has done just fine on wet rocks and uneven surfaces in the various places I've used it including a running creek. I've not used the monopod function and have never had to weight it but it's an option with this tripod. Overall I have been very satisfied with this tripod.
