I have used this for a little bit and I like it so far. The twist locks are much nicer for me than the flip style. The legs feel sturdy and the height both at the lowest and the tallest is useful.

Joints are sloppy, especially the leg joints. The ball joint either holds or the camera flops over. I'm not yet sure the saving is enough to offset the lower quality. Similar tridops can be more expensive but are probably a better option based on quality and ease of use.

Recomendable, buena calidad y permite hacer bien las fotografias y videos.

Everything you could ask for in a prosumer tri-pod. Small enough to take on vacation and large enough to handle anything I'm likely to use it for. Highly recommended.

The company itself is awesome my first one got lost in shipping. And they had no problem sending me a new one. An so glad they did I love this thing!!!

Quality of item was peerless. Very agreeable packaging. Immensely fast delivery.

Awesome product well made and well worth the money

I purchased this tripod to take long exposure shots of the sea. For fun, I took the same shots with my husband’s Gitzo carbon fibre tripod.

In terms of equipment, I mounted a Canon 6D Mark II with a Marumi 6 stop ND filter. I took exposures of around 10-30 seconds in winds of 12 mph gusting to 16mph. Yep, I checked the wind speed!

My feeling is that the biggest difference between the two tripods is the weight in transit. Carbon fibre is lighter than aluminium but in actual use both tripods are rock solid.

I should say that the K&F is exceptional value for money. I found it sturdy, well constructed, and I really liked the fact that the main tripod column has another hidden column inside it like some sort of Russian doll. It took me some time to figure out where it was but once I did I was very satisfied with myself. :-) Once you pull it out, it can be rotated transversely so as to mount your camera in portrait mode. Brilliant!

Suffice to say that I couldn’t tell the difference between the seascapes I took with this K&F tripod and the Gitzo, which just goes to show for the hundredth time that it’s not the gear you have but the skill you have that matters.

As for micro movements affecting camera shake, I believe that both tripods in real world use probably had about the same. In the end, it came down to my ability to use them.

I’ve included some shots of the K&F tripod because I feel so strongly about this product that I think it’s important to show off the build quality. I really like it. For the money, it’s an absolute winner.

...it broke the first time I used it.Thanks to the power(!) of data capture, at some point in the past I must have searched for a tall tripod as recently I started seeing 'ultra high tripod' ads from Amazon on Facebook (funny how that happens isn't it?). They were all for this K&F model, so I checked out some YouTube reviews all of which were very favourable.Notwithstanding that these reviewers seem to have received the product from K&F in return for a review - and included one that completely failed to notice one of the tripods most distinctive features (the tilting centre column) and another that criticised it for have a 'non standard' quick release plate (it's actually an Arca Swiss type, the nearest there is to an industry standard for these things) - I added it to my basket, accompanied by a 5% off voucher (funny how that happens too...).Surprisingly compact when folded in the included carry case, fully extended the tripod reaches almost 2.5 metres high and the two stage centre column can be tilted up to 45 degrees. The column can also be reversed and the legs set to different lengths and angles to accommodate the most challenging photographic locations, and making it ideal for video and macro work too. Further versatility comes with the ability to detach one leg to use as a monopod in combination with the centre column.A quick test on delivery seemed to confirm that this was just the tripod that I needed and I put it to work the very same day. Others who saw it were impressed too - until it came time to fold it up when I discovered that one of the leg sections had become firmly stuck in the extended position. I did eventually manage to get it to retract only to find that it would not come out again. Fortunately being fulfilled by Amazon a return was easily sorted, and after a little consideration I have ordered another one.This is a very well designed and versatile tripod and I really do hope that the replacement proves to be more durable - if so I will certainly update this to a 5* review.UPDATE - 2 years later the replacement is still working well, so updated to 5* as mentioned above.

Excellent tripod with super smooth action gimbal head. Originally thought I might not like the thumb screw adjustments (as opposed to the turnbuckles on a conventional unit) however, they are great and very easy to use. Even in its fully extended state the tripod is stable and does not exhibit any buckling tendencies. The leg extension clamps are positive and clamp very well. The overall feel of this tripod is one of exceptional quality, particularly considering the price. It has a flexible screw head which allows the tripod to screw into my projector without any issues. It comes complete with a carrying case.
