I needed a new tripod and was surprised to find how much most tripods cost. I really wanted a smaller tripod that I could fit in my luggage, yet support some of my medium weight lenses. The K&F Concept SA254T1 Tripod seemed to fit a lot of my needs and was very reasonably priced. I am currently shooting primarily with the Canon R5 and Canon 1DX mkii and 24 - 70 lenses. I need a tripod for night shooting and extended exposures. The K&F Concept SA254T1 Tripod folds fairly small (22"), so it fits well in my luggage, yet supports my cameras very well with the 24 - 70 and 16 - 35 lenses that I use a lot. But it also supports my 70 - 200 ef and rf lenses when used on the lens collars. A couple of added bonuses - one of the legs can be removed and used as a monopod. Also, I shoot concerts (pre-covid) and at times shoot from the sound board when a pit isn't available. I usually use a small ladder or a step stool so I can shoot over the crowd's heads. The K&F Concept SA254T1 Tripod has a maximum height of 94" which could be used when I am on a ladder. Another added bonus is the center column that can be used at a 90-degree angle to shoot off the center of the tripod. I don't foresee being able to use a large lens on the extended center column, but I think it would work well with a pancake lens, or a smaller lens like the nifty fifty. I won't be using the tripod for my 400mm f2.8, but I knew that going in and have a large, heavy tripod with a gimbal for those purposes. If you are shooting with a mirrorless camera and a small to medium weight lens, this tripod performs very well and is light and compact. AND costs a lot less than comparable tripods.

I used this tripod almost every day for 4 months before the legs started not working properly. Find a better company if you use tripods regularly.

I need to take pictures of various products and graphic items that either sit against backgrounds or lie flat as tabletop photography, and this is an excellent tripod because I can just pick it up and adjust it easily in an infinite number of configurations to suit the angles necessary for a variety of subjects. Very happy with how it secures the phone so there is no vibration to distort the image. Just strong and stable enough, yet easy to manage and rearrange in seconds.

This was purchased to hold my ipad while I play my guitar. It works very well for that. The boom is just long enough to bring the ipad over my lap while I sit on the couch.I haven't used it as a photography or video tripod, but I think this would adapt to any situation or set up you might encounter with a camera. The detachable leg which doubles as a monopod is a huge bonus too.This is a well thought out and engineered product.

I use this tripod for videography with iPads and many possible configs are one it’s best attributes. I also use the tripod for track and field - don’t ask. The range of heights is unbelievable. The first one I bought, which was a similar model fell apart but I decided to give this better model a try. This is the best tripod I have ever owned.

This is a good quality product, I was looking for a higher tripod for Landscape work and although a bit on the heavy side I could not afford a carbon fibre one but it does come with a very good quality carry bag and the height is great, also the top part being able to extend sideways has been great being able to get angled shots without the tripod legs in the frame

Excellent product, I heard reviews about it, but for the price it is excellent. People complain about everything and do not know how to appreciate what a good product is.

I bought this product based on a recommendation on YouTube, however I am amazed at the possibilities it offers, due to its maximum height and the good quality fittings, however if you are going to use it to make vertical content and if your camera is very heavy, I recommend using it with a cage, because if you put it only with the shoe, the ball tends to drop due to the weight.
