Overhead Tripod 78"/200cm DSLR Flexible Aluminium Travel Tripod 22lbs/10kg Load - K234A7 + BH-28L (S210)
SKU: KF09.087V2
Worked great for about 10 months, just short of its warranty period, then the rubber feet started falling off easily and won't stay on, and now as a result this s210 feet won't grip flat and concrete surfaces which is where I mostly use it in so now its not as study and stable anymore, especially during long exposure photography. Also some of the knobs on the ball head seem to be starting to wear out and not tightening as much as it used to, but the main problem is the rubber feet
I can't find any replacements rubber feet because they seem to be proprietary and K&F don't sell them separately. I tried reaching out to them on their website but they take forever to respond with their almost non existing customer service and when they did they also gave me no solution and haven't answered me back since.
Update:
K&F Concept reached out to me shortly after my review and resolved my issue, my s210 is now working flawlessly again. For this I will give them 5 stars

The tripod feels sturdy even with large lenses on it.
Moving the head is different to get used to. I’m used to a literal bar that you hold and twist & this one works a little differently... you just move the camera... so easier but when you’ve been doing it a different way for 30 years it’s a new way of thinking. Being able to convert to monopod is handy as you don’t have to carry both but the process does take a minute. If I know I need a quick change from tri to mono I still bring both with me.
Overall I’m pleased, especially for the money.
This isn’t my full time gig right now, so I’m going to shell out hundreds on a tripod. If I used it on location 8 hours a day & was tossing it around a lot really sort of abusing it, I’m not sure how long this one would hold up. But time will tell & for me as a side gig... it’s perfect & I suspect will be with me a long time.

When this afternoon I received the package I was so excited, when I opened the package I could see that the tripod I received is the cheaper version from this brand.

In my opinion, the tripod is awkward to work with for various positions. I almost bought two of these tripods and glad I did not. You can do a lot with the tripod If you are in hurry to set up and shoot: this is not the tripod for quick set ups.

You can probably get less functional and sturdier tripods for your money. BUT it is an excellent compromise between quality and functionality. It's better made than you think, although it's a long term life I can't tell yet. This allows for an almost unique range of heights that I would otherwise only be able to achieve with studio stands or poles. Allows you to shoot video overhead as well as in the studio. For me it will be mainly for studio use for quick and flexible setups when I need some urgent shooting. But I've used it outdoors and got angles with a remote that would have been tricky otherwise. I appreciate. I would have paid more for a deluxe version with maybe better leg lock positions and stronger springs. But it's fine, not a toy or a gimmick,

I have already reviewed one of the products of the "K&F Concept" brand, it was a neutral gray variable ND filter which convinced me to buy again from this brand. So I ordered and received this tripod, first impression when opening the package was the packaging which gave the impression of buying a luxury product, really! So I hasten to open the box to see what it was hiding, and I discover a travel bag for the tripod, which is of excellent quality, super beautiful, sober and gives a professional look. I open the bag and discover the tripod, it is made of a material that is really solid and provides stability of the device once attached. The tripod can be high, very high: I am 1m73, once at the max, he must reach 1m80 I would say. I plan to go on a trek with it and I was afraid that it would be big and heavy when "stored" but in reality, it is easy to use and stores just as easily, it becomes almost tiny when folded. In addition, the huge advantage is that it is not heavy at all! In short, I strongly recommend this tripod for its more than interesting value for money!

The tripod was a touch different in operation than I thought. It's a bit complicated but quickly figured out.
The upside down low angle is an awesome idea but theres no stabability to lock the legs on slippery smooth surfaces.

I needed a tripod to hold up a tele-promoter. It weighs a bit more and this tripod stated it could hold several pounds. I've been using for a couple months now and I am very happy with the performance of the tripod. I'd recommend this product for any type of need in tripod. It holds several pounds and is still light weight to carry if necessary.

Because of Covid, I've been using video more than ever. My phone has significantly better quality of video than anything else I have, but I don't need a ringlight type of set up since I'm not doing instagram kind of stuff. While a tad pricey, this product is easy to use, well designed and built, and has more features and ease of use than the old tripod I had been using. If you need better than cheap but don't need professional (although, this is professional quality in regards to my needs), give this product a try.

This is a very nice little tripod. We were looking for a light weight , foldable tripod for our cameras. This tripod height can be adjusted in three ways. You can also keep it firm in different positions. It comes with a nice little carrier bag. We really liked the size of it. You can easily put this in a carry on luggage.
