I finally found a tripod with a built-in monopod that replaces my selfie stick. It is possible to take pictures with the Pentax from a height of approx. using the remote control. What's also important to me is the camera's smooth, wobble-free panning for capturing wildlife and landscapes. Works very well. Thanks to the ball joint, the Pentax can be adjusted and locked in any position in no time. And thanks to the rotating center post, the camera can also hold a few millimeters above it for ground shots without me having to lie in the mud or have the DSLR touch it. The materials used make a very good impression on me.

The K&F Concept 60-inch Invisible Selfie Stick is the same price as the Insta360 brand but you get about 15 inches of more length. Having a longer selfie stick allows for more creative camera shots. The K&F Concept Selfie Stick folded length is 11 3/4" vs the Insta360 stick folded length of 9". Extended length if 60 1/2" for the K&F Concept Selfie Stick and 46" for the Insta360 stick. The K&F Concept Selfie Stick weighs only 1 1/2 oz. more than the Insta360 stick. The K&F Concept Selfie Stick feels very solid and also light weight making it easy to use with my camera. The K&F Concept Selfie Stick takes some effort to extend it to the desired length but I’d much rather have it a little stiff than have it loose and not hold my camera in place. Overall, a great buy.

What's also important to me is the camera's smooth, shake-free panning for capturing wildlife and landscapes. Works very well. Thanks to the ball joint, the Pentax can be adjusted and locked in any position in no time at all. And thanks to the rotating center post, the camera can stay a few millimeters above ground when shooting without me having to lie in the mud or touch the DSLR. The materials used make a very good impression on me.

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.

I had a selfie stick for years that would fall over because the phone was too heavy but this one stays put even when its 40 inches up. It's great for filming UGC videos for work.

I liked this selfie stick because it is long enough and as advertised.
