Now I'm not the most experienced photographer but have tested a few tripods and have to say this one from K&F Concept does quite well. It carries my 80d with the Sigma 150-600mm and teleconverter quite decently. Of course, especially with such a construct, it is important that the tripod does not collapse from misery. It is quite stable, although of course the image wobbles a lot when touched lightly. (But I think that is normal) The workmanship is quite solid. The suitability for transport on the road can certainly only be described as good to a limited extent, because if a tripod becomes more stable, it will probably also have to become heavier. Where else would the stability come from? The legs can be comfortably extended and retracted. Turning the camera on the tripod goes well. Not too smooth and not too heavy. For macro photography, you can convert the tripod as shown in the pictures. It can also be used as a monopod. For this, the foam-covered leg has to be unscrewed. I would buy it again if I had to, but since I only have one camera, a tripod is enough for now. I assume that the quality is good enough that it will also be enough for the next cameras.

It is versatile, it weighs little (which is fantastic for travel), it is robust and surprising because it is very light, and it has a very suitable shoe to place any current camera, even with a long telephoto lens. It also has a hook in case we want to put the backpack, for example, and give it greater stability.
It also has the conversion for a monopod and to be able to take photos that require stabilization at ground level.
A success, definitely.

It is perfect, folded takes up very little.
It has a 100% extended height that is above average.
The camera can be placed at ground level, stretching the legs to the maximum or with a single stick.
professional quality.

Very well made tripod with is exceptionally light and folds down very small for ease of transporation. Needs a weight hung below for stability but a hook already in pace for this.

Very light for its size, slightly more fiddly to set up as the legs fold back on themselves to keep the length to a minimum. Friction head works well, if not quite as smooth as a fluid head. Due to lockdown I have not had a great deal of use out of it yet but it fits great in my bag and does the job well.

This tripod is very compact and light weight for carrying. But still extends to a good height and appears stable. It's definitely not as 0sturdy as the bigger / heavier models but appears strong enough for my requirements.

This is a nice tripod for the person who needs a light tripod which extends to 72 inches, easy to erect, comes with two base plates, great idea and carry case. Great that the tripod too has its own carry handle also. Maybe a bit too light for the professional but for someone who needs a tripod, happy with the9 lb weight and construction, this fills a gap for the beginner and amateur.

This is my first camera tripod. I was hesitant at first since I will mainly use this for travel video and picture taking purpose. But after receiving the product, I am really impressed. As written on description, this product is lightweight and sturdy.

For occasional photographers or to take it on a trip, it is ideal, since its measurements offer great versatility and its high-quality and resistant materials barely add up to 1kg, which makes it extremely easy to transport. The type of head is a ball and fully stretched it reaches about 1.3m, which is not bad but the most striking thing is that when folded it is just over 30cm, the axes, joints and screws well I expected worse, but they are quite well designed and Built together and seem very durable and each part with high resistance, even the ball joint (with full 360 rotation) which, although it is not a premium model, does seem manageable and strong, with rubber protections to ensure its longevity.
If we extend it to the maximum, the legs obviously lose a bit of stability, which happens even with models of many hundreds of euros, but it has enough stability to be able to use it with cameras that are not very heavy, of which I have the one that reaches the most. at 1.8kg with the objective and it fits perfectly like a glove and there we perceive that it is designed to support equipment weighing several kg.
As I have said, it is very versatile and you can get a lot of use out of it, including assembling the central column and turning it into a monopod. It turned out better than expected for what I paid for it and I am also calm that if I lose it or suffer an accident on my travels I will buy another one just like it due to its adjusted price.
It includes a practical transport bag that I use on my getaways.

I am really happy with this K&F tripod. I use their lenses and they make really great products. This tripod uses metal joints and locking points. It collapses into a small light package and is very portable. I like the look with the dark carbon fiber with the bright orange accents. I think this is a very good value and compares to many high end tripods in terms of features and quality materials. I am happy with my purchase and this is a huge upgrade over my previous tripod.
