At first, I had a flexible camera tripod and a second more sturdy aluminum tripod (for windy days and short hikes). Now I will be selling both, my aluminum triopod, although sturdy, was a pain to carry on hikes when I was trying to cut down on weight. And the flexible tripod, although lightweight was useless unless there was a branch or something similar to hang it from. Even then, I was nervously taking a photo, while hoping that it could support the weight of my very expensive camera equipment.
This, on the other hand, once strapped on my backpack I barely noticed it. Sometimes I found myself doing a double-take to make sure it had not fallen off. But do not let the weight fool you, this is sturdy, I live in Scotland and this could stand Scottish winds without a second thought. If I was in doubt I would just hang a weight from the hook underneath the center column. And boy is this tripod versatile, it gets incredibly low, high, the angles it holds, it is like watching a yoga instructor go from one position to the next effortlessly. The ball head is very smooth and the camera feels very safe and in place. Again what makes this outstanding is the price point for carbon fiber tripod. I have a mirrorless camera, so I generally like carrying less and now I do not have to compromise for utility for weight when going on hikes anymore.

This is my first tripod and I got it for a good price through a lightning deal and I'm very happy with it. It seems late to me but very solid. The finish is nice and keeps my camera solid in a variety of positions.
You might want to get a weighted bag if you were to have a bigger camera on the end of the pole. The pole is ideal for aerial shots of the kitchen, feet or similar aerial shots.
The bag is of good quality and should last.
Overslept very satisfied with the quality of this product.

This is an amazing tripod for most types of photography. It is beautiful to look at, especially with the candy apple red metal fittings and is solidly constructed. No cheap plastics or faux metal here. I bought this specifically for the transverse beam feature to hold my rather weighty D7000 and 105mm Micro Nikkor while doing macro photography. The only minor frustration was finding the transverse column (it wasn't detailed in the instructions) but I realized after watching an online video that it was neatly hidden away in the centre column. Everything about this tripod, even the handsome, padded carrying case exudes an air of quality (just remember to collapse the legs upward to make it fit in the bag!). This is my second K&F product -- my first was a flash -- and I can't say enough about their product quality and attention to detail. Some legacy brand names the photography world could certainly learn from this innovative company!

I had been watching it for awhile and after

Overall this tripod a phenomenal value, it rivals some double in price. It is sturdy, lightweight, and have a nice tight locking frame. Despite this, the instructions can be somewhat confusing at times and it is hard to get the full potential of the tripod as it has many configurations -- the configurations are amazing on this tripod and suitable for literally ANY situation. Some corners are cut in the feel of the plastic of the ballhead, but that is expected given the price point and it remains very smooth while operating. All things considered, I wouldn't hesitate with purchasing as at this price, it's top notch!

The tripod comes in a nice carrying bag made of good material.
The product is designed to take up as little space as possible - a big plus.
I'm not a big fan of rounded leg locks, but these seem solid.
Maximum height is above my eye level - Im 1.75m.
I like the versatility of the ball head with the extendable center pole. You can put it at 90 degrees and do food photography for example.
The head itself with the plate isn't at a pro level but I'm not a pro and it stays compact and that's a big consideration for me. The Pro head can easily cost 1.5-2x more than this whole package, so I'm very happy with the cost.
If you like monopods, there is a leg you can unscrew and put the head on.
Recommended indeed.

Manfrotto had their day for sure but the guys at K&F Concepts are killing it for build quality and value today. This one eats the competition for design and manufacturing. Milled to perfection, every screw and joint moves smooth and even the foam on the built in monopod feels pro. This is the one. Pay any more and I assure you it's just for the name and the legacy.

The ball head is just excellent quality there is a notch where the head just slips in to for easy vertical shots and the reassuring quality is there again in the way the head moves beautiful slow motion great when going pano shots and a handy marker on the head to let you know how far you've come round.
The monopod works really well the whole this is metal and carbon fibre construction.
Now i bought this item for the lightness of carbon fibre but the ball head is heavy which actually makes the tripod heavier than my old ally and plastic job this is the only thing that knocks this item i still recommend this tripod 10/10.

This tripod can get the shot you desire. With all the tweaks and excellent build quality, it's hard to pass this up, especially when it's on sale. Great customer service as well, I had my carry bag replaced as it came with a damaged zipper.

Really great for the price! I have no problems using the tripod indoors or outdoors. Very good purchase I can only recommend.

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.
