I’m using this ball head on a monopod. Size is great for the monopod but using it with a heavy lens you’ll have to really tighten the knobs.
Better used with smaller lenses.

Looking for a light and compact tripod for organizing a trip, I came across this one, barely 1kg300 for 38cm folded. It also carries the possibility of making a monopod very quickly, which will be interesting to capture an image in a place where the tripod would not have been possible.

For this small build, the tripod is very solid, since it easily supports the weight of my 6d mark ii with its grip and its two batteries + a sigma 70-200. (even with the articulated arm deployed).

The legs of the tripod have 5 sections, which allows it to go from around 35cm to 155cm and the central column can be reversed to allow the device to be placed at ground level!

It comes with a carrying bag, an extension for the monoball monopod, a ball head with an "arca swiss" type quick plate which allows the lens to be attached directly to the ball head without using the quick plate (see photo 4).

In conclusion, a purchase that I do not regret and which for its price is more than qualitative.

I state that I already have a Manfrotto 546GB with a 504HD head (great headstand), I needed a second tripod but I had no intention of accessing a mortgage to buy it... so I will compare it to this...
what can I say I was amazed at the quality... I was expecting a cinesata but had to change my mind, large size, closed it is the size of a photo tripod, it has a fantastic carrying case, a liquid head with different adjustments, adjustments, bubbles, etc., dimensions during use both in height and in perfect dimensions, possibility of using them as a monopod.

Let's go to the dark side...
The weight is definitely not light, the head I still say good does not have all the Manfrotto head adjustments, for example the adjustable clutch for horizontal movement... which is present on Manfrotto and is not present here... but we always consider the price, the boom for moving the head is a little short and not telescopic, there is no three-foot base in monopod mode, so you get tired of holding it in place for long-term use. The hooks for tightening the tripod rods seem undersized to me, but it still does their dirty work.
Conclusion Manfrotto is still Manfrotto... but this Cayer surprised me.
... And good!

Best for the price.
I would buy it again right away.
When I think about what my Manfrotto with ball head cost me before!

I am getting older so this kf concept Basic monopod allows me to cover some of my B-roll DSLR video needs without lugging a full tripod all the time. You have to do your part vis-a-vis remaining still, but this was well worth the price.

K&F Concept SA254M1 62'' DSLR Camera Tripod.Overall - happy, love how stirdy it is is, ball head is a blast, flexibility is amazing, love the legs and how they stretch for macro - and, hopefully, will test upside down part for astro! don't know what to do with monopod yet, I don't norally use them, perhaps a cool walking stick

I have bought many (way too many) tripods and tripod /monopod combinations. This is light enough, very sturdy, and the locking mechanisms are working very well. The ability to use two ball head to get the position I need is very helpful. I don't usually like using tripods but that is changing as I this one makes it quick, easy and readily carried.I did have an issue with the first tripod I received but this vendor replaced it immediately . Excellent customer service.Looks great - and just had a 6Dwith a 100mm l lens attached on the top segment at right angles - rock solid.

For quick, down and dirty traveling, this is a good tripod. From the outset though, I would not recommend this tripod with a heavy DSLR and heavy lens like the Canon 70-200L.If your primary use is a regular DSLR or Mirrorless camera, then you'll probably really like this tripod.At full extension, it is not super-stable, but can be mitigated with hanging weight from the hook. Extension is easy and will extend to about 6ft. The ball-head will accomodate Arca Swiss base plates, but with a camera attached, the ball head tightener needs to be adjusted strongly to hold in place.One feature that is a "LIKE" is the ability to reverse mount a camera UNDER in order to take ground-level shots.The tripod comes with a zippered travel case and will easily fit in luggage or attached to a backpack.All in all, I rate this with FOUR STARS due to stability at full extension, and honestly, I think it's a bit overpriced for the performance it provides. For general, non-professional use with a normal DSLR and lightweight lens, Phone, Mirrorless or similar camera, it should do the trick. Otherwise, I'd be looking for a more robust solution.*If you found my review helpful to you, please let Amazon know by clicking the "HELPFUL" button below!
