S211 72"/171cm Transverse Center Column Aluminium Professional DSLR Tripod with 360° Ball Head
SKU: KF09.079V1
This product looks great when you get it out of the box, it comes in a nice padded carry case with handles and a shoulder strap. It comes with basic instructions that give the user the required info to be able to use all features of the tripod.
The tripod itself is very stable and feels extremely well made. The aluminium construction is nice, but does add a little weight, though for the functionality it’s a small sacrifice.
A single leg is detachable allowing for the conversion to a monopod, which as per the images, can be used with the ball head mount. This can be done with no tools required, which gives great flexibility when on location, as it doesn’t require extra gear to be carried.
Towering over me at around 2m tall when fully extended or when reconfigured the centre post can be mounted upside down. The horizontal arm allows for the perfect position for top down shooting or macro photography, giving a reasonable reach with good stability.
Overall I am very impressed with this tripod and would definitely recommend it, especially when compared to competitors offerings, which generally have a much higher price point. K&F have produced a great product that is a pleasure to use.

I researched various tripods before deciding on this one and I’m pleased that I did. The tripod folds up neatly and comes with a carry case which has reflective material on it. The tripod itself is very sturdy and well made. I like that it can be used as a monopod. The quality and design of this tripod is fantastic. The different configurations make it really versatile for lots of different shots. The height of this tripod is perfect for overhead work too. I can’t praise the quality and design of this tripod enough.

A very stylish tripod but they definitely chose form over function. When attached with a zoom lens the tripod will sag a few degrees before locking into place. You will need to use the timer setting on your camera in order for the picture to be in focus (when using zoom lens). Other than that it's a very practical tripod, lightweight, and comes with a carrying case.

The 1/4 20 camera mounting screw is too long (or the plate is too thin) to properly secure on my Nikon Z bodies and grip accessories. When tightened all the way, the plate would spin. Easy fix was to add a washer. Otherwise excellent travel tripod with many options.

This tripod was exactly what I needed for a variety of photoshoot situations. Lightweight for on location shoots, tall for overhead shots, sturdy and balanced for my Nikon D-90.

For the price I wasn't expecting too much if I'm honest, a tripod with ball head and horizontal column for this sort of money doesn't sound that likely to be great. However I'm pleasantly surprised.
The ball head is pretty smooth and has an Arka compatible top plate on it so my Z6 with Mieke grip fit straight onto it. There's a bubble level that's easy to see even with the camera in place, which is nice as a few I've seen end up difficult to see once a camera is mounted.
The centre column has a section that can be flipped to be horizontal which could be useful at times. It's reasonably compact when folded up, and comes with a nice quality padded carry bag with a shoulder strap as well. The legs have 3 positions and one gets the centre column pretty close to the ground so low level shots should be ok. I do like the option to remove one leg and attach the ball head to it as a monopod, very clever and really handy so you don't have to carry one of each with you when packing.
For the money I'd say this is a good buy. I can't comment on durability yet but it's good so far.
