I took a closer look at the travel tripod over the past few days and would now like to share my impressions. Overall, the tripod scored well, although there are slight deductions in the B grade.

==== Scope of delivery ====
To be honest, there is not much to tell about the scope of delivery. Included are:
- Travel tripod
- Carrying bag (incl. shoulder strap)
- instruction manual
- Allen key
Everything is delivered in a descriptive cardboard box, but this is of course only a secondary matter for a tripod.

==== Look & feel ====
The colour of the tripod is timeless black with small red elements. I really like this combination, but it's nothing out of the ordinary. The tripod is not too light and feels good in the hand. So for the money, the buyer doesn't get rickety cheap goods. However, some parts of the tripod were scratched, which is why I have to deduct a B grade for this. However, this did not affect the functionality. The legs are pleasantly easy to adjust. All operations go off without a hitch.

So, apart from the minor quirks, a great look and feel!

==== Functionality ====
The tripod can be extended to a height of approx. 1.54 metres. At the lower end there is an additional hook to which weights can be attached. This should provide more stability. Since I don't necessarily extend the tripod completely, I didn't need any additional weight.

The head element including the ball head works very smoothly and without jerks. With a steady hand, it should perhaps also be possible to do small camera pans, if these are desired. This flexibility is enhanced by the fact that the rod can be rotated 90° at the top. This allows for side shots or shooting very close to the ground.

In addition, the tripod can be converted into a monopod. With my hands, however, I prefer to rely on three legs.

The supplied bag looks high-quality and is made of a slightly thicker material. This may be too bulky for some. I usually transport my travel tripod directly on my backpack so that I can access it quickly. Therefore, the transport bag is just a nice extra for me.

==== Conclusion ====
With this travel tripod, the whole package is right: quality (except for a few compromises), looks and functionality are convincing. I already own a travel tripod, but it only cost half as much and has a correspondingly cheaper finish. This one will stay on the shelf from now on, as I like the new one much more.

This is a very nice travel tripod. I always get backpacks with loops to hold a small tripod, but all the small tripods I've had have been flimsy and not worth lugging around. All my good tripods are too big for it. This one now fills that gap. He's very strong. The first time I extended the legs I had to tug to get them out, but once I freed them they slid smoothly.

The tripod is well-made and sturdy, packs up very small and is a good option for a travel tripod. That said, I did find it a bit fiddly to use. The collet lock is hard to turn and gets in the way when you're folding up the legs. I returned it and bought a Manfroto that was more suitable for my needs, but not as compact. With the Manfroto there are only two knobs - the riser lock and the ball head lock, so this makes it so much easier to use. The K&F has a lot of knobs. Not a bad tripod for the money though, just not what I needed.

I bought this tripod as a travel tripod because of its light weight and small packing size. I've tested a Canon 70D and an EOS RP, each with a 100mm lens, on this tripod and I'm amazed at how stable it is. Now I keep my small Manfrotto travel tripod and just use the K&F because it can be folded up smaller and is more stable at about the same weight.

Now I put my small Manfrotto travel tripod away and only use the K&F, because it can be folded smaller and is more stable with almost the same weight.

Quick conversion to a monopod possible, very robust and relatively small and light

This tripod is great! It love how it came in it’s travel carrying case and how small it folds up. But when it open it gets to a very good height. The material feel strong but also is light weight. I love how you can unscrew one of the leg and use it as a monopod.This is great when you don’t want to carry around a full blown tripod or the surface is not good for a tripod. It can be adjusted to do macro shots by inverting the head and get low to the ground shots and that’s a bonus.

Works great for macro photography as it is very versatile in the various positions you can mount your camera. You can get your camera extremely low to the ground but without having to splay out the tripod legs over a large surface area. If you have to get into a small nook to get that shot, this tripod does a great job. I would not consider it to be light tripod or quick to set up. It's probably not going to be the tripod I carry around for travel but it folds up into a very small (and nice) bag if you intend to travel with it.
