I had no idea tripods could be so expensive, but I guess this is one of those items that speaks true that you get what you pay for! A cheap camera tripod we just bought a few years ago recently broke so we decided to invest in a sturdy professional tripod. One that would be durable enough to last us for years to come and would be able to hold our camcorder and would also be compatible with our mirrorless camera and a DSLR camera in case we decide to get one in the future. We wanted to get a reliable tripod in time to capture images to see Comet Neowise which only orbits the sun every 7,000 years, so it's a once in a lifetime experience. Unfortunately it was too foggy and there were too many clouds the two times we went into the mountains, but this tripod held up like a champ in cold 50 degrees Fahrenheit and windy conditions. The instructions say not to use it in temperatures below minus 40 degrees or above 100 degrees.

The tripod is made of sturdy aluminum alloy tubes. The KF-28 metal ball head has a maximum load capacity of 22 pounds and can be rotated 360 degrees, which can easily hold a heavy DSLR camera and provide excellent panoramic shooting. Be sure not to exceed the specified maximum load. This tripod is easy to set up by simply flipping the legs the opposite way and using the clamps to secure it in place. There are four (4) leg sections and the knob allows you to adjust the height. The height with the two (2) center column sections can be extended to 93.8 inches, which is tall enough to take large group shots from a bird's eye view. The height without the column reaches 67.7 inches. There is also a lightweight and detachable monopod that can extend up to 98.4 inches for your various photography needs. For panoramic shots, the center column moves from 0 to 180 degrees and can be rotated 360 degrees horizontally.

This also comes with a nice, durable carrying case to protect your tripod and make it portable for travel. The case also has a strap that you can use to carry over your shoulder for convenience. My only complaint is the weight. Being heavy duty it weighs just over six (6) pounds which is heavier than most tripods but it is definitely the best looking tripod we have owned and you can tell by the high quality and details. When my husband uses it for filming with our camcorder it is very stable and I'm sure it will last us for many years!

I was skeptical because it looks like most tripods come from the same mold and they just slap a sticker with a brand, but being that the case, or not, this tripod is good!

On my tours in the woods and meadows I need a stable tripod that is light and easy to handle. I've been using the tripod for a few months. There are hardly any tripods that come as high as this one, with a very compact pack size. The workmanship is great and the mechanics are well thought out. All moving parts can be tightened if necessary, which is often not possible with other tripods (in the joints).

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

I recently bought an Alpha 6000. And I quickly realized that I needed a lens. I'm very satisfied with this one. It's light, stands stable and is easy to assemble. I think it's great value for money

I bought several K&F filters, and although the brand is disappointing when it comes to tripods, it overcompensates when it comes to filters. This kit is excellent, in terms of optical quality and materials.
There is almost no color cast or chromatic aberrations, as well as no loss of image sharpness.
Really recommended, especially because the ND1000 can compete head to head with a Lee Big Stoper, and give better results for a fraction of the price.

The only drawback is that it doesn't come with a case to store everything (the K&F case is sold separately and is quite small for my needs).

Buy several of K&F's filters, and while the brand disappoints when it comes to tripods, it more than makes up for it when it comes to filters. This kit is excellent, at the level of optical quality, and materials.
They have almost no color cast or chromatic aberrations, as well as no loss of image sharpness.
Highly recommended, especially since the ND1000 can go head to head with a Lee Big Stoper, and deliver better results for a fraction of the price.

The only drawback that it has, like all KITs, is that it does not come with a case to store everything (the K&F case is sold separately and is quite small for my needs).

Light, sturdy, versatile, and portable. It also comes with a really nice carry case. One of the best tripods I've ever owned.
