156cm/61.4" Carbon Fiber Tripod 15kg/33lbs Max Load, with 360° Ball Head & Detachable Monopod A255C2 + BH-35L
SKU: KF09.103
Yet to be tested out in the field but initial set up was super quick and easy. Not as sturdy as I would have liked when fully extended, but it is a lightweight entry level travel tripod and I guess it was never going to be at this price. I bought this for the weight and the size when collapsed. Easily fits into my carry on case. £100 cheaper for than the comparable MeFOTO Roadtrip. I'm just starting out but if I was an accomplished photographer I would probably have gone the Peak Design, but don't want to spend £600 at this stage.

I find this tripod to be a great value, priced very well for what you get. It could be a bit more stable and sturdy. It is very stable and very sturdy, but not quite enough to do night photography. For daytime and moderate darkness, it works great. I like the flexibility to use it in a number of different configurations.. I also like the light weight, small folded down size and portability.

This is a truly excellent piece of equipment. All features are fast and easy to use, and are rock solid.

Im using it for a spotting scope that also has a cell phone mount, so it needs to be steady, and it is

Even though I read the reviews, I was still surprised by the compact size and weight of this tripod. The components are all quality, it's well made. I'm 6'1" (185cm) tall and use a Pentax K1 with battery grip and 24-70mm f2.8 lens. It's a tall, heavy camera setup. My immediate concern was that the tripod will be too short and if I flip the camera vertically the tripod might fall over. To my surprise, fully extended, the camera viewfinder is almost too high for me. This places the lens over the heads of most people if you're in a crowd and most DSLR cameras have a tiltable LCD screen for viewing anyway. Its also quite stable for its weight. Horizontal or vertical, the camera was in no danger of falling. I wouldn't risk it on a windy day though.
On the ballhead there are 3 separate knobs to lock rotation, ball tilt and camera base plate. All very solid. The baseplate also has a really nice bubble level and a compass that will help you align the tripod to North for astrophotography.
If you're a hiker or traveler, I highly recommend this for the price / performance ratio.

This is very sturdy and has a quick release mount for the camera. Easy to open and adjust for any type of service and height.

This one is my favorite. I have several tripods. I thought weight didn't matter, but it makes all the difference. It's not super heavy, but very stable. It looks more professional.

I bought this Trupod ready for my trip to NYC in December. I've not yet taken this out on a test outdoors, but testing it around the house it seems impressive. It is very lightweight so I'm guessing in a windy area there will be a vast amount of shake/distortion to your images. I have watched endless YouTube videos of this tripod which shows that the legs fall off as the glue isn't strong, but I'm yet to see this on mine.I aim to start using it soon before my trip to give it a real test.
