Thank you K&F Concept for yet another awesome product!!!Just received this tripod, and I've got to say - I am completely blown away by how sturdy it is!I've been using a very basic, light-weight tripod for years (super flimsy, blows at the slightest wind, and honestly didn't think I needed anything else since it served its purpose on the most basic level; however, I've started recently getting into more photography of the human variety so figured I'd splurge on something a bit more functional.I also really enjoy long exposure, and astro photography, and I can already tell this is going to serve all of my purposes (and then some).Material quality and weight:This is a little heavy, but it's not unmanageable, and it comes with a really nice (padded!) carrying case. I could see myself bringing this on hikes easily (maybe not an 8 hour hike, but for a couple of hours? sure why not!), and will definitely bring it along for weddings and portrait sessions.Ball Head and movable areas for transitioning:This is a feature that, up until I received this tripod, I wasn't sure I wanted.The ball is larger than I expected, and is extremely secure. For reference, I've tested it with a NIkon Z5 (mirrorless, but heavy) and a 20mm s-line lens (also heavy...). Absolutely no worries with trusting my camera on this.Legs:The clips when changing position of the legs seems really secure. Time will tell with repeated use and adjustments, but even the clips that allow you to move the legs to "closed" position are metal, so I don't really see this becoming an issue with repeated opening and closing.The ability to position the centre pole downwards to take low/from-the-ground-looking-up photos is a welcomed treat.Something else I didn't know I wanted/needed until now was the fact that one of the legs has rubber/padded material so that you can grip the tripod better when adjusting it from one position to the next. What a small, yet significant, feature. It really is the little things that matter the most.I'll update my review if anything changes (i.e. durability, screws stripping in areas where they're required), but just judging from my first impressions inspecting this one compared to lesser tripods - I don't really see this one having any issues lasting for at least a few years (if not more).100% worth the price imo, especially considering there are more well-known brands that are extremely more expensive for a lower quality product.

I was quite surprised that this tripod was much more substantial and sturdier than I expected. It’s excellent value considering it’s price. One small thing is that it’s heavier than I expected but that only adds to its stability. I wouldn’t take it with me everywhere but have it when I need it. Carbon fibre wouldn’t help very much with its weight. Overall extremely happy with it.

Light and sturdy and looks good quality too. Great for outdoor use

Arrived before due date, good packaging no damage to box.Tripod is great value for $, better than expected. Sterdy and compact with a great carry bag. Very happy with my purchase

Il est solide et très pratique.

Nice for the Price. Impressed with the durability so far.

I like the color, and it serves its purpose for my food photography.

I wanted a more compact tripod to replace a cheap chip tripod I've been using for many years because I wanted to do a little more landscape photography, it would be a lot easier to carry around. From the reviews it seemed perfect.
It arrived very well packaged, with a nice little bag that covers the head to protect it, the tote bag also has the added option of a shoulder strap and I like that one of the legs has a foam covering to protect your hands a little warmer when worn in winter. The trip is very compact, light and very robust in the wind.
It says it's a quick release, which for me means flipping a little lever and it's released, you have to screw it around the plate to tighten it, ok just a few seconds, but if you have cold hands, it does not always make screwing and loosening easy!
For me, however, it was just a small flaw that I had to live with, as I was impressed with the tripod.

First of all the tripod has a good base for me, it has clip locks. I don't use twist locks, I think they are more prone to dirt or sand in the thread.
It's a good size: it's not quite compact, in the normal working position, contracted, it is a bit large with a size of 55 cm on small backpacks. On the other hand, it reaches a working height of 1.38m even without the central column deployed, which is great. Tripod head is OK, Arca Swiss plates fit on it.
For practical use: When there is no wind, I can work with Fuji DSLMs without any problems, I could even use my Nikon D7500 here. This represents the maximum size in terms of weight, for large full frame cameras heavier tripods are required. I was even able to use a Fuji with a slight telephoto lens when there was no wind without the images being blurry. When there is little wind, I also use it to record videos.
The quality is very good for the price. Of course, I can't compare it with my heavy Manfrotto in terms of quality and durability, but it costs just under 300 euros even with a big ball head. And especially on longer hikes I don't feel like lugging the heavy tripod around. I am very satisfied with the tripod, I think the price / quality ratio is excellent.

Sturdy, stable, super-adjustable, such good value
