I've been taking photographs for many years. I use different cameras with plenty of accessories. The tripods I have used so far have been branded products with good quality and functionality (some significantly more expensive than this one). After the last one was getting a bit old and all the elements only worked with a certain amount of play, a new tripod was urgently needed. The tripod from K&F Concept is delivered in a sturdy box. After unpacking, a robust, black carrying case appears, which has both a carrying handle and a strap for hanging around. It is closed with a strong zipper. Of course, the tripod comes with an English-language user manual. Normally you wouldn't need them for the basic functions, but it is not a mistake to read them anyway, then you will see all the possibilities that this tripod offers. The first impression is: "WOUW". The workmanship is very good and the design is really discreetly elegant. All elements work smoothly. Only the gold-colored locking knobs on the three legs offer decent resistance, and that's a good thing because there's a guarantee that everything will stay in the position you set it. The locks for adjusting the length of the legs also click into place very well and then hold in place properly. The whole construction does not wobble. Even my DSLR, which is quite heavy with the telephoto lens and battery pack, doesn't bother the tripod. Many well thought-out details make the photographer happy: the easy-to-read spirit level, The graduations on the head, the detachable mount that can stay on the camera and then snap onto the tripod with a quick release when needed, the ability to convert the tripod into a monopod, the three all-terrain legs that allow you to stand upright just about anywhere, etc .I am really excited about my new tripod. For this very low price you get good quality and a well thought-out, practical and, on top of that, really elegant design. For me, these are well-deserved five starsAddendum (05/24/16): The tripod has now been in use for more than half a year. It was also on holiday and has proven itself very well. I am still very happy with this purchase. Dear Reader, If you find this review interesting or helpful, I am happy. If there are any questions or ambiguities, so please use the comments.
