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

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.

...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.

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.

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.

ok

Very versatile and easy to use. Smooth movement, high quality, and its met my needs for cooking videos, photography, and university projects of all sorts.
