All is great with exception to the description of monopod. The description states : "【Detachable Monopod】 It can be turned into a lightweight monopod or walking stick alone to make your photography more diverse. " To go along with this, the picture of the product shows the Monopod, Tripod folded, and Tripod open. The picture is deceiving as it shows the monopod alone along side the fully attached tripod. The description does not state that one of the tripod legs is to be removed to make the monopod. By seeing the pictures and reading the description, I thought the center column would be removed and used as the monopod. Thereby being a quicker change from Tripod to Monopod back to Tripod when needed.

This is the first tripod I've bought in a loooooooong time. Most of my shots these days comes from a smartphone that's being handheld so I was really looking forward to buying this for my XT4. All and all this is an amazing tripod for the price and there isn't a whole lot more you could reasonably ask for it.Pros- This thing is feature rich. It has a gear hook, monopod, and the ball head assembly is entirely removable which really helps distribute the weight of the thing when it's hanging off the side of a bag.- Smooth actuation. Sometimes the locks get in the way of breaking it down but I'm actually listing this as a pro. If you actuate the legs to their furthest position at each stop then try to push them any further the locks will really get in the way. This means that if your leg is going to give way on terrain it's going to stop pretty easy.- Plenty tall when you extend the center column. I'm 6' and I can bring my camera to eye level easily.Cons- This thing is not light. It's on par for other aluminum tripods but if you're really looking to drop your weight look into carbon fiber.- The monopod leg is SLIGHTLY shorter than the rest of the other legs. This isn't too big of a problem if you take some time to balance the other two legs. It's also not a problem if you're shooting landscape and wildlife and you're already going to have an uneven distribution between the legs.Missing/Neutral- No threads to put feet or screws on the bottom of the mount. Not a problem for me but do be advised that if you're shooting on sand or water and you want feet it could be an issue. Not sure why you'd buy this tripod for that purpose at this price point anyway.

The quality, design and affordability of this product can't be beat. Bought it because im in the process of starting a company and I needed a tripod. This thing is incredibly sturdy and versatile with a really good design. Comes with a little travel case as well. Very compact once packed up. If youre debating whether or not to get it, just click the checkout button, you won't be dissapointed.

Easy to use, fast in, fast out of my truck. I use it for huge binoculars, and I feel safe to use it. IF you chose a Tri-Pod, this one is A1. Make sure you chose the right one, there is different versions of tripod, some have side extension, (which I didn't need ) offset arms, and others. THIS brand is TOP quality, TOP features, ("single arm feature"). I just love it. Make you explore all the features, for the instructions are not the best. I discovered that the "main" screw can be inverted for another "screw treads". which is awesome for different screw mount. It well/strongly built. We are far far away from those old silver classic tripod. "A NEW generation" I'd say.
VERY good buy, looking for a second one, for a different use.... will chose this brand for sure.
EXTREMLY satisfied.

The tripod legs might be able to hold 22lbs but the ball head wont hold 1/4 of that weight.Just trying to tighten the ball head to hold my 70-300 on my 90D which is light enough that it doesn't come with a shoe collar of its own was enough to cause the ball head lock nob to strip.This probably could have been avoided if the tightening nob used a 6 point hex socket instead of the 12 hex socket so it would have more surface area to grab the 6 point hex nut that actually does the tightening.

K&F Concept TM2515M1's tripod appears to be lightweight, sturdy, and strong. Adjustments are relatively smooth. Height is more than I needed. Really great tripod except for one item, which has triggered my decision to return it: the Monopod leg is about 1/4" - 1/2" shorter than the other 2 fixed legs, so when you fully extend all 3 legs, the tripod is slightly tilted and not level due to the monopod leg being shorter. Of course you can adjust the difference out, but it takes a bit more time during initial setup. Would have been perfect if all 3 legs where the exact length at full extension.In addition, the latch/hinge for the monopod side appeared to be defective on the unit I received as well. It felt "looser" compared to the other 2 fixed legs.

This tripod is great! It love how it came in it’s travel carrying case and how small it folds up. But when it open it gets to a very good height. The material feel strong but also is light weight. I love how you can unscrew one of the leg and use it as a monopod.This is great when you don’t want to carry around a full blown tripod or the surface is not good for a tripod. It can be adjusted to do macro shots by inverting the head and get low to the ground shots and that’s a bonus.

This is the tripod I was looking for. I used to have a light one before but this one is perfect for Sony A7ii. I used a variety of lenses starting from prime to telephoto and the tripod is able to handle the weight properly. The tripod has a bag to carry and a monopod facility which is the best thing. It is heavy and the body is rustproof and strong. The height can be extended to more than 6ft. I suggest that this is a good product for professionals and beginners for outdoor and indoor shoots.

I have been in the market for a ball-head tripod for a long time now, but I never wanted to pay $150+ for an "Add-on" to my current video tripod or $300+ for the name brand models. When I saw this K&F Concept version for under $75 I was intrigued.When I received this I was expecting a big box. WRONG! This was so compact I was in shock. I opened the box to discover that it also had its own hi quality carry bag too!! Bonus! When I removed the tripod from the bag the first thing I noticed was the weight and solid feel that it had. The weight is not much, but it was NOT flimsy plastic... this is great aluminum construction.I live this tripod because it also allows me to "hang" my camera under the tripod for low to ground photos. There are endless options to where you can position your camera that you will be able to catch just about any shot imaginable.The ball-head is also super helpful and sturdy. The adjustments are super easy to operate and making fine tuning adjustments is quick and easy. I give this tripod two thumbs way up!!
