It is everything I expected. It is light and small. It feels and looks sturdy and durable. The rubber feet are perfect to keep it from slipping, hard enough not to wear out and soft enough to have a good grip. The head feels firm and well built. The tubes look and feel firm. I had a problem with the first delivery, they sent me the SA255C model box, but inside came the SA254 (aluminum), amazon's return service worked very fast and without any problems. They always helped me and followed the whole return and reshipment process.

My setup is about 5 pounds. and this tripod works great for my purposes. The ball head is very smooth (although I had problems with the first ball head. I emailed K&F and they quickly resolved the problem and replaced the ball head.) All height adjustments are also very smooth. One thing I really like is that you can remove the rubber feet for outdoor use (this may sound silly, but I will be using a lot outdoors and removing the rubber feet saves wear and tear.) I would recommend this tripod for light to moderate use .

Take off the rubber feet. You'll get much less shake.

Worked great for about 10 months, just short of its warranty period, then the rubber feet started falling off easily and won't stay on, and now as a result this s210 feet won't grip flat and concrete surfaces which is where I mostly use it in so now its not as study and stable anymore, especially during long exposure photography. Also some of the knobs on the ball head seem to be starting to wear out and not tightening as much as it used to, but the main problem is the rubber feetI can't find any replacements rubber feet because they seem to be proprietary and K&F don't sell them separately. I tried reaching out to them on their website but they take forever to respond with their almost non existing customer service and when they did they also gave me no solution and haven't answered me back since.Update:K&F Concept reached out to me shortly after my review and resolved my issue, my s210 is now working flawlessly again. For this I will give them 5 stars

My setup is approximately 5 lbs. and this tripod works great for my uses. The ball head is very smooth (although I had issues with the first ball head. I wrote K&F and they quickly resolved the issue and replaced the ball head.) All of the height adjustments are very smooth as well. One thing that I really like is that you can remove the rubber feet for outdoor use (that might sound silly but I will use outdoors a lot and taking off the rubber feet will save wear and tear on them.) I would recommend this tripod for light weight to mid weight use.

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.

I recently moved back to America from Japan and had to leave a lot of stuff behind, Including a Manfrotto tripod so I needed a new tripod to sell some things to help me get back on my feet. I looked at geekoto and some other brands and they're all pretty much like this one except they either had plastic where I didn't want plastic or it wasn't clear where the plastic on the tripod is. Using the Manfrotto for years, I at least know where I like there to be metal and this K&F unit has a cast aluminum mount and ball and it's all very smooth.

Likes:
Ball head: is solid and smooth. I would have preferred a toggle over a screw for the quick release plate.
Legs: well they're legs, the aluminum feels solid. The also have stabby things at the bottom if you remove the rubber feet. Some one mentioned the locks for the leg extension were unfinished and sharp. Mine are comfortable to use.
Column: Not too much to say. It does it's job. All the locks have comfortable rubber grips. Someone mentioned the column will collapse if pushed down on. That's true of mine too but I have to make an effort. It's not something that's happened during normal use.
Portability: was not a selling point for me but it's nice to have the option
Monopod: also not a selling point but another nice to have the option. I've never used one before but now that I have the option I might.
Bag: not a selling point, but it's a nice one if the zippers stand up to use, aka not YKK zippers.
