S211 72"/183cm Transverse Center Column Aluminium Professional DSLR Tripod with 360° Ball Head
SKU: KF09.079V1
So I finally pulled the trigger and bought an expensive tripod. This was available as a lightning deal, and am I glad I purchased it!
First the quality, immediately, out of the box, you know that this is a quality product, the carrying bag it comes in is very high quality! And once you take out the tripod, you can feel all the details and the weight of it. I personally think this was a better option than the carbon ones as I live in Scotland, and it gets very windy here, the bit of extra weight will definitely help keep my camera steady when there are big gusts of wind. It is lightweight enough that you can strap it onto your bag, I usually travel and hike with my Sony camera and this is definitely going to help me improve my landscape photography. I've just recently bought an ND filter as well, so can't wait to get some quality results!
I noticed that this is an extremely versatile tripod, being able to support my camera at versatile yoga like angles for macro photography and it doubles as a mono-pod! I am not very experience with a mono-pod, and would never buy one on its own, but I am starting to enjoy it, it is definitely the super light option.
Overall excellent build quality, and price to value ratio!

I've been looking for a tripod to supersede my Zomie Q666. It did me well but it was too small, to shakey, i couldn't get low enough for macro, i couldn't get high enough for studio work and my landscapes in water were not steady enough.
This Tripod answered all those problems in one go. I shoot Olympus and the plate is a little large for the camera but it fits snug if you tighten it well. Otherwise its done well in water perfect when you want to get close to the water level (see photo) , i've shot low down macro and been able to position it well low for shooting horses from under the fence.
Nice build quality, twist grip telescopic legs tighten well without too much effort. Definitely worth the money when compared to the competition.
Sure it's heavier than the smaller Q666 but it's not too heavy you cant carry it on your backpack. It comes in a really solid carry case of its own you can wear over your shoulder if you don't have a bag already. Very Impressed overall.

What an awesome tripod,Tried mine out as soon as I received it,The quality and look of the tripod is quite decadent,Extremely sturdy, holds my Nikon D7500 with the Tamron 150-600 G2 with ease,It’s quite an upgrade from my current tripod,The ball head is nice and fluid and ideal for panoramas, even the carrying bag is quality, overall k&f make some rather quality photography equipment,I recommend this tripod.

This is my first tripod so I don't have anything to compare. But right out of the box I could feel the quality in the material, the tripod not giving out this wiggly feeling but rather strong. I wants a tripod to scan my film so I would love if it can rotate around in various angle, and this one did just that. The tripod is quite heavy to me, so this definitely probably be staying at home, I may try to hike with it. If I did, I will definitely update you guys.

So I am a professional photographer and Videographer, and for some reason though that it was acceptable to use light stands as a replacement for a tripod. IT IS NOT! It's actually quite scary that i thought it was OK to put my expensive cameras and lenses onto a light stand that is not build to hold such equipment, let alone a cheap light stand as well.
I noticed that this is an extremely versatile tripod, being able to support my camera at versatile yoga like angles for macro photography and it doubles as a mono-pod! If you have not yet used monopods they are perfect for run and gun shooting like at events and weddings!

I am over the moon with my new tripod, thank you so so much. I create a lot of videos for YouTube and needed to video from above my paintings and this tripod is fantastic for this and easy to use. I found it very easy to arrange the tripod exactly how I used it. Plus I also love the fact that it is so easy to get my video camera on and off the tripod, such a brilliant idea to make it so easily detachable x

I needed a tripod to do overhead food photography and YouTube videos and this one definitely ticks the box!
It's sturdy, easy to use and folds away nicely so it doesn't take up too much space.
The 360 feature is great to do low shots and artistic angles and it is easy to carry around as it comes with a bag (with a removable strap).
I found it a little tricky to assemble at first but that was mainly my fault because I hate to look at instructions but once I watched a YouTube tutorial I was filming and taking pictures within minutes!
The delivery was fast and I highly recommend this product!

Being a keen landscape photographer, I wanted a tripod I could take out with me no matter the weather, that was tough, stable and corrosion resistant ensuring I could capture the frame, no matter the location this stable workhorse of a tripod has been a lifesaver, on more than one occasion and for the money has become a reliable and great investment, helping me gain a stable shot the panning feature is so silky smooth and the build quality, rivals that of big brands such as monfrotto, feature packed great purchase well done K&F
