SKU: KF09.093
Got this for occasional use as a photographic tripod but use the walking stick bit every day so I'm getting my money's worth! Nice carrying bag makes it easy to take out with you.

For the price this is a really great tripod. It may not be the lightest or sturdiest but it's definitely not hundreds of dollars more to get that slight difference. The features it includes does put it in the same category as those costing hundreds more. I've included a picture of the manual that came with since a few people said they didn't get one. I didn't really find a need for it as it's very simple to use and figure out. Overall very pleased with the tripod so far.

My current tripod is a Manfrotto and while it is a good tripod, I was looking for something that was a little more versatile, lightweight but sturdy.I almost ordered a product twice the price but decided to take a risk on this one and i'm not disappointed.The tripod is stylish, easy to use, feels really robust yet reasonably lightweight.The mobile phone tripod mount also doubles as a secondary mount for a camera so means out of the box, you can have two quick release mounts and the mobile phone holder just gives that extra bit of versatility to the kit.Having the level on the ball head is a feature i didn't really expect to like but in fact its really helpful when setting up.I love the ease of use and I love the colours and styling.

The stand is great and has alot of cool features. The only issue I'm having is with the mounting screw that attaches the camera to the stand. It's pretty short and I have a hard time getting it mounted, there should be more threads on the screw.

Incredibly small stand for the money. Yes, it is not as big or robust as the more expensive options, but the size and weight make it ideal for those places where you just can not get the larger racks. And it's much easier to carry around with your own bag. The addition of the smartphone adapter is brilliant, and the colors make it a good choice for Sony camera enthusiasts.

It looks and feel nice. Comes in a good carry case. Is quick and easy to assemble and is versatile. My only complaint is the camera mount cleat screw, which seem to loosen up very easily if being active with the camera and needs constant retightening to keep the camera stable.

Great in general - However the head bolt is stuck in to the head and not the tripod so mounting another head is out of the question without obtaining a secondary bolt.

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.

Checked all my boxes and did not disappoint me. I am happy I spent a little more to get this unit.
