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.

I like the stability of the tripod. Its not light weight but not so heavy. Sturdiness is good. The monopod is an extra added feature.

What I liked about this was how compact and light it is.
It worked well with my heavy telephoto lens Sigma 60-600mm which comes in at a little over 6lbs. There was no real drooping and it felt secure on the tripod.
This is a great accessory if you're going to be hiking, or traveling to keep your weight down on the gear that you're carrying.
It has a middle post. Some may or may not like that, but I really appreciate having the middle post to avoid having to extend the legs further. Especially depending on the terrain that I'm on and the space that I have.
I have 3 different K&F tripods that I have for different uses, and this one does not disappoint.

What I didn't like is that the ball head and parts are all plastic. While it's secure, and quality materials, I can be rough with gear like this, and there's a long term risk with that.

I don't have any other things that I don't like. I also want to add that while my dislike is due to the plastic material on the ball head, it does not disappoint in functionality. You're going to have a very difficult time finding a quality, light tripod that is going to hold a heavy lens anywhere near this price point.

With that price point trade off, long term viability is ok with me because it would not break the bank if I ever needed to replace it, or the ball head. I do have spare ball heads that are not plastic that I can swap out for this one as I have gimbals as well.

This product also performs when attaching my gimbal too it.

Overall, you're not going to be disappointed with this purchase.

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!

The title really says it all but let me break down the best features.1. Carbon fiber makes this tripod strong and VERY light weight. I was really surprised how light it was while still able to support both my Nikon Z7II or Z9 with a heavy duty L-bracket. Some travel tripods dump the weight by using thin legs or plastic hardware. This doesn't do either of those things!2. As mentioned, almost all the non-carbon fiber parts are metal or heavy duty rubber. No cheap plastics or other compromises that limit performance.3. One leg screws off so you can use it as a monopod eliminating the need to carry both when you're packing light.4. It comes with a good ball head. Yes, we all probably have a few of these laying around but in case you don't, this setup comes with a really nice one.5. Comes with a case to keep it protected.OK nothing is perfect and there are a few things I'd like to see improved on but they're all rather minor.1. I'd like both the tripod and the monopod to extend higher. I'm a taller human, I like my gear to extend to at least 6'6" and this is close but not quite there. If that doesn't matter to you, no big deal.2. I'd like a little more rigidity when the tripod is fully extended. This might not be a problem for many people, especially those with lighter gear. Both of my cameras as larger and heavier than most and I have them outfitted with larger pro L-brackets. All this makes them heavy but well within the stated limits.Overall at this price point you're going to be REALLY challenged to find a better tripod for travel use than this one. I'm really happy with it and I'll be using it as my primary travel tripod for the foreseeable future.

After getting a new 4lb 600mm lens was way too heavy to keep hoisting all day so got this monopod. It's light and adjust quickly for multiple angle changes on passing birds. *the photos attached are screenshots so they don't accurately portray how stable the shot was.
