S211 72"/171cm Transverse Center Column Aluminium Professional DSLR Tripod with 360° Ball Head
SKU: KF09.079V1
I bought this primarily for its ability to hang my camera on the 90 degree angle attachment above my piano for recording tutorial videos. I hang my camera bag off the hook at the end of the centre shaft to stabilise it when I have my Canon 77D and Sigma 18-35 lens hanging off it - very pleased that it manages to keep that weight in place as the lens has a lot of glass in it! Easy to use and set up, comes in a nice bag if you're heading outdoors. Would recommend this tripod for serious amateur photographers.

This tripod has a very sturdy feel to it. All of the knobs are made out of aluminum, so i know that it will not break or fall off. The ballhead is very smooth for when I need to reposition my camera at different angles. I think it also goes to a very good height. It is very compact and easy to bring around. The ability to use it as a monopod is definitely very useful and makes it very versatile. It definitely takes some time to learn how to use and get used to but once you get the hang of it is is very useful. It also comes with a pretty good carrying case which I thought was a nice touch.

I could define this tripod as Sturdy, really tall, and quite flexible. Even though joins are not the sturdiest in the market, you can't go wrong for this price. It's not too heavy, but it's really versatile. 10/10 would buy again.

I have already used this tripod a number of times and it is fantastic...especially for the price. So then why 4 stars and not 5? While minor, there were a couple of screws that were not properly adjusted. The camera mount head was not properly tightened allowing the camera to shake. Beyond that the extension that can be swiveled to a 90 degree angle could use a bit of internal support beyond the "stop here" marker. It just feels like the tube would crush easily there.
The issues are extremely minor and easy to work around or fix, so I still highly recommend this product.

I could definitely put it anywhere I wanted. Has a very nice strap. The attached center bubble ensured the level was completed and finished first time. I can adjust to so many angles that learning this tripod will take time. The included tote bag has a strap that allows me to throw it over my shoulder. The materials all appear premium and are made of sturdy, high-quality materials for years of unrestricted use. I installed my camera on it and took some shots on the tripod and am happy with the performance. Five stars!!!

I finally found a tripod with a built in monopod to replace my selfie stick. With the Pentax you can from a height of approx. with the remote control. What's also important to me is the camera's smooth, shake-free panning for capturing wildlife and landscapes. Works very well. Thanks to the ball joint, the Pentax can be adjusted and locked in any position in no time at all. And thanks to the rotating center post, the camera can stay a few millimeters above ground when shooting without me having to lie in the mud or touch the DSLR. The materials used make a very good impression on me.

I upgraded from a basic Manfrotto to the K&F tripod because I was looking for more versatility. While this tripod requires more thoughtful / time consuming set up, the number of positions and configurations it allows for is much greater than other basic tripod for the same price. The orange accents of the aluminum knobs add a very professional look & feel to the rig. It took some practice to figure out how to use all the different functionality (e.g. to fold the tripod down at the large orange ball, pull the bar all the way up first, and then fold downward), but all in all I’m very happy with this purchase. I started thinking of new film shoots (smooth up-down, smooth circular motion, and lower angles ones) I will do on my next project.

I do some social media content which involves making video clips both inside and outside. I had cheap tripods and selfie sticks before buying this. Great quality and love how high this goes to take pictures above content. Highly recommend, make the purchase.

I am an amateur and gathering my gear little by little. I bought several K&F items and I have to tell, these guys put love on what they do. Among all what I got, this is the celebrity: solid, sturdy (a little bit heavy, but what the heck), infinite ways to set it, beautiful. Any detail es great, the mobile parts works perfectly fit. A great maker!
