I had the opportunity to try this stand next to its predecessor the KF-TM2235, and immediately appreciate its improved stability, thanks to the increased sections of the tubes that make up the legs. Obviously, however, having increased the diameter, consequently also the weight increases, for this reason plastic inserts have been inserted to contain the overall weight. Plastic parts which, on the other hand, do not give the same feeling of strength compared to the previous version. This also gains the ability to transform into a monopod, I didn't need to use it in this mode but without a shadow of a doubt it can be useful especially when using heavy telephoto lenses.

Basically it's a good travel tripod, worth the money it costs.

Very glad I picked this up as it's a lot easier to manage than the two gorilla bags I also have. This slings over the shoulder comfortably and allows my camera w long lens, cage and wooden handle to slide in nicely on top with minimal effort. The pockets are great and offer plenty of little versatile storage. The larger area at the bottom is where I store my G4 audio case and the straps secure it as it's just a little to big to zip up, but it's fine. The overall build quality is about an 8 or 9 if the zippers hold up.Update: after 2 years these bags still look like new and no rips, broken zippers or any other problem. Best bags we've got Bar none.

The tripod is made of aluminum and is super stable, the rubber feet also ensure a good stand and protect my floor from scratches. I was able to attach my camera quickly and the whole thing is bombproof even on uneven ground. The included ball head is very smooth, nothing jerks or jams.

Well-made tripod with a firm stand and many features. Quality and feel are unbeatable for the price. Use it both outdoors and indoors. The adjustment range is great. Can extend the mounted Canon up to 170cm in height.

The stand is very useful,

Have tested the tripod a bit now and am very fond of it, you are very versatile and you can really extend from the ground to very high and stand well. I have tested other ball heads in the local market and none were as smooth in this price range.

This is a great hand sized trail camera that you can also mount on a tripod or attach to a stand or tree using the straps included. It's light weight, waterproof, and the camera picks up good quality for night vision. So far we used it around our house and yard but we are going to the trail soon and I'll add even more pictures in the future. Enjoy!

So I finally pulled the trigger and bought an expensive tripod. This was available as a lightning deal, and am I glad I purchased it!

First the quality, immediately, out of the box, you know that this is a quality product, the carrying bag it comes in is very high quality! And once you take out the tripod, you can feel all the details and the weight of it.

So I am a professional photographer and Videographer, and for some reason though that it was acceptable to use light stands as a replacement for a tripod. IT IS NOT! It's actually quite scary that i thought it was OK to put my expensive cameras and lenses onto a light stand that is not build to hold such equipment, let alone a cheap light stand as well.

I noticed that this is an extremely versatile tripod, being able to support my camera at versatile yoga like angles for macro photography and it doubles as a mono-pod! If you have not yet used monopods they are perfect for run and gun shooting like at events and weddings!

Overall excellent build quality, and price to value ratio!
