Having spend a fair amount hiking and exploring, I was looking in the market for a lighter weight tripod (i had full-size alloy one ). I find this carbon fiber tripod affordable to buy within my budget. It is Very Light (1005 grams - Verified) so definitely helps for long hiking trips.
All three legs are carbon material which can be adjusted into multiple heights using 4 circular locks on each leg. Each circular lock tightens a leg in clockwise rotation for a particular height and releases the legs to expand in anti-clock rotation. The camera mounts on a plastic made base along with bubble level to align the camera straight. So far I have used this tripod on hiking trip only once and my camera sits without any wiggle on the plastic mount with kit lens, prime lens and telephoto zoom lens.
Each leg has 2 indexing positions which works well for me. My previous tripod had 3 index positions and to be honest, I never really used the middle one so it's not a huge loss for me. The legs extend with a twist-lock mechanism and slides and locks very smoothly, noticeably more smooth than my previous one. I do have a 70-200mm lens and feel I have to be a bit more careful when getting my shots set up because this tripod has a narrower stance than my previous one and with my lens mounted at full extension is a little less stable than I'd like. BUT, given my intended use and how compact and light weight this tripod is, I am very, very satisfied with it.

Excellent purchase. Prompt delivery

A great travelling / hiking tripod

Brought this for our dslr camera. Been out hiking with it and its strong and portable. Also lots of different options to use it for different angles.

I'm genuinely thrilled with this K&F Concept Metal Mini Tripod! The all-metal design gives it a sturdy feel that you just don't get with plastic tripods. It's clear the quality is top-notch. What I really appreciate is how securely the legs lock in place. I've been getting creative by adjusting one leg to a higher setting, which lets me angle the tripod for perfect shots and videos of items on my desk. Compared to the plastic tripods I've accumulated over the years, this one is a standout for its durability and reliability. I've paired it with a small extension and my DJI Pocket 3, and it's an excellent setup for my needs. Absolutely love it and recommend it without hesitation!

This is K&F Concept 200mm Metal Mini Tripod.
It is for smartphones like iPhones and Androids, that are used to record still or moving images.
The model number is MS05 (this is useful to know when searching online for videos etc.)
At the time of writing, the ASIN is B0CPHKYMV5.

It has a quarter inch screw desktop tabletop stand with phone holder
It comes with a bluetooth remote control; this makes it handy for snapping yourself.

Unlike other tripods, especially small tripods, this seems EXCEEDINGLY ROBUST!
It can apparently load up to 20 kg with 2 levels of height adjustment

K&F Concept 200mm Metal Mini Tripod for Camera Phone, 1/4 Inch Screw Desktop Tabletop Stand with Phone Holder and Bluetooth Remote Control, Load up to20kg with 2 Levels of Height Adjustment, MS05

Works well for a camera tripod and has been very rugged for use while hiking and getting nature photos. Very light compared to my older aluminum tripod.

I ordered this bag for everyday use, but also to be able to take my camera + lenses with me when traveling and hiking. It's perfect because you can remove the camera part and use it only when needed. The bag is a nice size and not too big for everyday use. If necessary, you can extend it. Stable material and good quality. I like that there is also a separate pocket for the laptop. The additional rain protection is a nice touch. Bag looks good too!
