I do some social media content which involves making video clips both inside and outside. I had cheap tripods and selfie sticks before buying this. Great quality and love how high this goes to take pictures above content. Highly recommend, make the purchase.

I am an amateur and gathering my gear little by little. I bought several K&F items and I have to tell, these guys put love on what they do. Among all what I got, this is the celebrity: solid, sturdy (a little bit heavy, but what the heck), infinite ways to set it, beautiful. Any detail es great, the mobile parts works perfectly fit. A great maker!

I finally found a tripod with a built-in monopod that replaces my selfie stick. It is possible to take pictures with the Pentax from a height of approx. using the remote control. What's also important to me is the camera's smooth, wobble-free panning for capturing wildlife and landscapes. Works very well. Thanks to the ball joint, the Pentax can be adjusted and locked in any position in no time. And thanks to the rotating center post, the camera can also hold a few millimeters above it for ground shots without me having to lie in the mud or have the DSLR touch it. The materials used make a very good impression on me.

So the first thing standing out is the striking color of some of the details of this otherwise black tripod. That alone is worth a consideration, but looks isn't everything.The first contact with the tripod is to set it up. it folds over to hide the center column and that keeps it compact when stored. Overall, however, that also takes a bit away from the stability. Extend all the skinny legs, and you'll find it to be somewhat shaky. That's nothing a timer for hands-off trigger release can't reduce, but it also makes the camera susceptible to gusty wind or simply walking by on anything other than rock-solid ground.But described stability issue may be an acceptable compromise as this is light and relatively compact. What less expected is how tall this thing can extend between the legs and the center column. The taller the shakier, but still better than trying to take a picture on your tippie toes with your arm extended out. That's about as tall as this thing is or at least feels (depending on your stature). Of course, you need some form of remote for that, so make it a wireless one to prevent vibration of the camera.Another cool feature (in this price range) is the ability to mount the camera off center. You do so by extending the inner tube of the center and turn it 90 degree and lock it there. You have to fully extend the shaft as there are two possible orientations in the head with no in-between, so you have to disengage and put it in the second hole.Overall, it's a cleaver tripod with quite a surprising amount of features for the price, but it comes with the caveat of being somewhat flimsy. For professional work or macro photography, you may want to invest in a sturdier design, especially as lenses then to grow in size and weight. Others should be safe considering this tripod, and if nothing else, it sure is pretty.

I traveled rather frequently for sporting events so I had done brief research and ultimately decided on this tripod. I only regret not getting this sooner considering its portability, weight and versatility. Other people have actually come up to me and asked where I had obtained this tripod. This tripod actually goes up HIGH with ease and STABILITY. Very impressive. I might buy second just to keep spare in hand.

I was looking for a tall tripod and found this one. Fits the need for a taller then normal tripod but as I used it more it seems very versatile. So have to give it a check in the "lot of bang for the buck" box. I may change the head to one that has a arm on it. There is a reason you do not find real tall tripods, once you have one up over 72" it is tough to look thru the camera unless you bring a step ladder. I have found that if you have a monitor or app you can see if your shot is what you want. If not then you can rotate the "mast" to adjust the horizontal and if you put one of the tripod legs to the rear of the direction your shooting you can adjust that leg for the vertical. Not the toughest (You give up some of that for lightweight) but for the price I would not hesitate to by another if I lost this one to a mishap.

This is exactly what I needed for my video blogging. This is a very versatile lightweight tripod that looks excellent. It is very sturdy and easy to manage. It has many settings which makes it useful for many applications. I highly recommend it.

I would say this is the nicest tripod I currently own (and also the most expensive). I am more of a hobbyist than a professional.
This comes in a nicely padded carrying bag. The bag has large metal zippers and a nylon zipper. It open wide to make removal or replacement of the tripod easy. There are no interior or exterior pockets. There is also an adjustable strap so you can carry over your shoulder.
The included instruction manual is pretty basic. There is also an included hex key. I would say if you want to keep this with the tripod you can use some Velcro ties to strap to one of the legs.
I like the height of the monopod at full extension. When I place the ball head on top of this & then my camera, I don't need to bend over at all (I am about 6'2"). If I don't use the head then I need to just slightly bend over when using the view finder. There is also a padded grip in this leg. You can also use this as a hiking stick.
The legs have a few angles of adjustment. The bottom rubber feet are removable. This does not come with different feet so if you want spikes for example for use in dirt / sand you will need to purchase those as none are included. At full height this will tower over a crowd. There is also a hook where you can hang your backpack or weights to help keep this more stable. You can unscrew this so you can then reverse the center shaft to use as a low or macro tripod.
The head is dampened so when rotating you can get a smooth effect if shooting video. You need to be a little careful as the head can unscrew when rotating if you don't have the lock screw loose. This is also my first tripod where you can bring the arm over to shoot off to the side of the tripod. This is really nice being able to stand next to the tripod instead of behind it in some instances.
There is a bubble level on the top of the head. The camera mount does not use the snap quick release which in nice as it does not wiggle & feels more secure when you have the knob tightened. You can purchase additional shoes for this tripod.
I don't find this tripod to be too heavy for my use & do find it to be very versatile & am so far very happy with this tripod.
