This tripod is one of a kind and I am very happy that I bought this tripod! It is very stable and each of these three legs can be adjusted to three other different lengths. (See pictures) It also has two more swivel heads at the top of the head where the camera is attached. Once the camera can be moved circularly on the tripod and once stably to the left and right. There is also a spirit level at the top. (See pictures) You also get a carrying bag with the tripod. This bag is neither too big nor too small. (But everyone has to decide that for themselves). How the tripod is stowed in the bag can also be seen in the pictures. With the colors black (tripod), gold (upper lever device) and with orange lettering (the brand) it looks Tripod looks really good. Rubber heads are still attached to the feet. Thus, the tripod is stable even on smooth ground. (See image)

The tripod itself does what it should. It's stable, it's straight, the quick release plate holds up well and is Arca Swiss compatible, the ball head holds the camera in place and everything feels quite valuable.

This is a step up from the many cheaper quick release plates on Amazon. It is beautifully constructed with moulded safety catches to prevent the plate from sliding off an arca swiss style quick release clamp.

I have it permanently fixed to a heavy 300mm zoom lens and bought it for use with a K&F ball head but have found that it fits all of my other arca swiss clamps too. The only one it doesn’t accommodate is a Sirui clamp which has no recessed grooves for safety catches. I would avoid buying the Sirui clamp altogether and kit yourself out with this style of plate and clamp combination because it is much more versatile, is cheaper, and in this case, just as well constructed.

I've included two photos showing the quick release plate and a K&F ball head. Just look at the build quality.

A fantastic product.

I used the tripod to live stream/record kickball games and the height allows for it to be over the heads of people for good view of field without being in the way.

First, I am usually impressed with K&F products, professional quality photo products at a low price point. I find many good features in the K&F 68" Carbon Fiber tripod, but I have some reservations. The tripod comes in a sturdy zippered case with a detachable shoulder strap. (see photo) There are clear instructions and three Allen wrenches to tighten areas like the Arca plate and leg hinges. Generally, these are for maintenance only, most of time you don't need the wrenches or any tools.

The tripod is of a style that requires the legs to be tucked-over for storage. This protects the ball-head and makes it shorter but it is an extra step to deployment. The leg locks are twist locks, they have a large easy-to-use rubberized knobs and only take a half turn. These twist leg locks work well. I prefer lock levers on the legs because they are quicker to deploy, and for my style of photography that is important.

The K&F weighs under three and half pounds. (see photo) A very good weight compared to most competitor's tripods. Though when the legs are fully deployed they have a slight wobble. (see video) Fine in most cases but could be a problem shooting long exposures in the wind. The wobble goes away when the legs are shorter.

Changing leg angles, making into a monopod, and swapping central column to hang the camera upside down are easy thanks to smart modern design.

The excellent ball head and Arca-Swiss compatibility is fantastic. (Fully compatible with my Peak Design Arca Plate) Large knobs and well machined parts make the BH-30 head a breeze to adjust. I found the head and tripod worked well with my Sony A7r and a long lens.

In this price bracket this is a very good tripod. I am taking off a star for the slight wobble in the legs when fully deployed

In the past, when looking for inexpensive tripod heads with gears, we actually only had three to choose from. the GD3WH from Benro, the rather overpriced Manfrotto 410 Junior (not to mention that this head is really showing its age) and the Sunwayfoto GH-PROIIS. Now we have this $199 model from K&F. I had all three of these heads. The Benro is pretty good... for several months before the gears wear out and plastic parts break off. It's a well-functioning head, but cheaply made. The Manfrotto heads, which have been around for decades, are fine but lack the characteristics of more modern heads. It's not very smooth when you're trying to achieve really smooth movements, and the proprietary top plate is just plain annoying. Also, it becomes unstable after about a year of use. The Sunwayfoto is a solid head, but quick adjustments are a bit difficult to make. How does this new K&F device perform? In my opinion incredibly good. It is constructed like a take and consists mostly of metal parts. They have a standard ARCA Swiss top plate. Quick adjustments are incredibly easy with the spring-loaded adjustment collars, which simply snap back into the locked position once released. The spirit level is offset far enough that you can still see it when your camera is mounted on it. Something the others lack as it is obscured when you mount your camera. Basically, the K&F gear head solves all the problems I've had with all other budget heads. As a real estate photographer, having a sharp head is a must. Having used every other inexpensive specialty heads on the market, THIS one stays on my tripod. I think you will find that this will quickly become the most recommended geared tripod head on the market.

Good tripod for the money I'm happy with the ball heads smooth love the lever locks that's why I bought it, I mount my camera on it and it's light enough to carry a good buy. Smooth operation, love the ball head, strong leg clamps for support, fits my scope and aggressively priced. Hits the right spots.

I needed a new tripod that would get really high to go over peoples heads from the back of our church while recording the services. It does the job well. I have a heavy Panasonic Bridge camera with a mic mixer and another directional mic mounted on top of it and with all that weight I know it could handle more. It is very sturdy even at full deployment.
