A great, high quality tripod. What I really like about this sort of design is that the camera can actually be positioned very low to the ground which is perfect for my passion of taking snaps of birds and wildfowl at Slimbridge. With this, I no longer need to lie on my stomach to get the right shot!

Well, I only buy things if I absolutely need them.

►What do you get?
In the box there is a nice carrying case, the tripod and the quick release.

Personally, I use the tripod the most and when I have to create content for social media, I also use the quick release for my phone.

►How bright is the tripod?

Compared to what I've used so far, it's very light. I would definitely recommend it especially for travellers, at 1.33kg it's wow! !

►What is carbon on this tripod?
The tubes, the rest is good quality aluminum.

►The head?
When you see if, for the first time, it may seem small to you, but from what I've experienced, it does a good job. It goes 360° and has a marking all around, which is very useful, especially for panoramas or large landscapes.

It really helps me when I need to shoot from a specific angle and then I turn my head to get a different angle and literally take a picture of the angle where the camera was positioned before. That way I don't have to worry about getting a different angle.
The head plate is decorated with a nice rubber logo that will prevent your camera from slipping.
The lock works very well. When I move my camera almost 3kg in portrait mode all the weight goes to one side and when I lock the head it literally stays where I wanted it to. Head rotation is smooth, no problem to interrupt your smooth video.

►The central part of the tripod?
The lock which is located in the middle is easy to access and loosen or lock.
There is also the wheel lock with rubber on the top which will allow you to make the tripod higher. I strongly suggest locking it properly to prevent your camera from sliding down.

►The legs?
These have 4 sections and will allow you to go very precisely with the pitch.
The best part is that when you open them they slide out very quickly so you don't have to pull them, for me it saves a lot of time which I always do I unlock all 3 legs of all sections and just let them open. Also, when you adjust the height, the legs are very smooth.
At the bottom they have a good solid rubber that will prevent the tripod from slipping. I mainly use it in the kitchen where I'm filming a cooking show and the tripod stays in place on the tiles. For this, also use a backpack of about 5-7 kg inside to stabilize it properly. There is a hook that you use to attach things (like in my case the backpack for extra stability).


For what I use, it's great. Now I can't say anything about hiking where the wind might be an issue.
I use it strictly in the kitchen and move it around a lot to capture different angles.

►Why did I buy this one over others?
It is very simple, because it is light and compact. Sometimes I have to go to my clients for food shots and I have to take the gear with me and I wanted something that saves me weight and size. This tripod is what I needed.

►The quick release?
Well built and good looking too, I would say use it more with phones. It's very handy to have it around and I consider a good addition is that you get it with the tripod.

►The carrying case?
Attractive ! You can easily install the tripod (folded correctly) and maybe some other small equipment, there is still space.

►Overall experience on this subject?
I was a little surprised at how light and compact it is. Easy to use and stable enough for my static setup and the 3kg camera I use the most.

►The disadvantages? I haven't found any so far.

I am really happy that I received it on the third day of my purchase and I am very satisfied with Black Friday's delivery service,I am a professional architecture and interior photographer and also do videography. Was looking for a tripod that is light yet stable and sturdy (since my equipment can be heavy i.e. tilt shift/telezoom lenses, and expensive). This K&F tripod ticked all the boxes and the price point is perfect.

This tripod has an excellent and smooth quick release system which is important for me especially when moving from location to location during the critical lighting window for outdoor shots.

The tripod's height is impressive and it can be extended with an option to attach additional weight at the centre of gravity point to make it even more secure.

The tripod's colour is vibrant and the finishing is smooth.

I personally prefer twist locks for the tripod legs, although this is definitely a matter of personal preference. The legs can also be extended outwards using the quick release clip to have an even lower height. This may be particularly helpful when trying to get a lower vantage point for artistic reasons, such as when focussing on the foreground.

Would definitely reccomend as a studio or outdoor tripod or even for events and travel! Carbon fiber tripods are ideal for travelling.

I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of my tripod. I needed a tripod that was able to be compact but also be versatile at the same time. It comes with a simple carrying bag and can be moved around with ease. It can also change into a single leg stand which is good for shoots where you move around a lot
High quality tripod High quality tripod

Delivery was very quick and the parcel was packed safely. Can't say how pleased I'm with my selection of this tripod, it's tall enough so no bending down to look through the viewfinder on my camera.

My wife loves this tripod. I bought it for her because she wanted to carry a nice tripod on her camera backpack. This tripod is lightweight, but it can handle heavy cameras and long lenses pretty well.

This is a great Tripod. I have a canon 6DMII shoot with 100 2.8f macro usm lens and a 50 1.4f lens. This is durable enough for my macro and body. It’s quite sturdy. I do food, portrait, and travel photography. Have brought this on road trips and it’s so compact

Excellent tripod. Very rigid and sturdy. Easy to set up and take down. Ball head will lock in position a 10kg optic.
Only quibble is the lack of foot spikes with the carbon fibre models which the aluminium ones do have.
Would highly recommend
