So far so good. I previously had the Neewer tripod which ended up falling apart on me.The KFConcepts one has been great so far. Feels really sturdy and holds my camera great. Love it so far.

ordered the 79" K&F first but it was lost in transit so instead I chose ordered this unit. I'm using it for a full frame canon 5dsr with 70-200m and a Sony a6600 with 16-55 Sony lense. The tripod is sturdy and very easy to for 360 degree movement. Great product. Highly recommended.

Easy to use. Light weight. Seems pretty sturdy. I have to get used to tightening the legs but once I do it will be a piece of cake.

I'm a tripod guy - I have at least a dozen. I have compact ones for travel, big rugged ones when I need a heavy duty model, carbon fiber, aluminum and combination. If you use this tripod a few times you'll realize that whomever designed it took the best features from several tripods and combined them here - although they missed a few.So I'll start with the misses. The feet - strictly rubber feet. They can be spun out and removed, but there's no spikes to replace them. Spikes are fantastic for dirt, sand, etc. The feet spin out easily - you'll want to tighten them and leave them all the way in - or I guarantee you'll lose them. The ball pivot. It's straight or at a 45 degree angle. I'd prefer if there were locking options with inbetween angles. You can accomplish these varying angles by changing the length of the tripod legs and adding a weight to stabilize it, so that's kind of a wash. There's no place to stash the included hex key. This can come in really handy, but it's not needed when making a monopod out of the tripod.The legs lock in three fixed positions. This is a feature I have used many times on tripods. Hiking in Utah and shooting from boulders I could angle the legs as needed for a secure perch. The wider the legs, the more stable the tripod, making it exceptionally good for timelapse and long exposure. There's a center column hook for a sandbag - it's pretty light duty though - a steel shaft in a plastic housing with plastic threads. I would not go more than 5 lbs. If you really need weight, open the legs more and use sandbags. I've also used tent stakes with a paracord loop around the feet.All of the dials and knobs are aluminum, not plastic. That's really nice and increases the life of the tripod by years. Plastic knobs eventually break. They snap if bumped too hard. Aluminum bay dent or scratch, but it won't break like plastic.All the hardware (connecting screws, nuts, bolts) are stainless.The included ball head is also darn nice. It has the thicker 3/8-24 thread which is typical for a tripod head. The plate is an Arca-Swiss style sliding plate, and the camera screw has a built-in thumb-catch for hand tightening. No tools (or coins) needed. The plate can be loosened and slid back and forth but will not slide off the head. You need almost two full rotations of the locking knob to fully release the plate. Nice. There's also a built-in bubble level. The ball mechanism sits in a Teflon pocket - so it's smooth.The top of the tripod (where the head attaches) has a reversible screw - 1/4-20 for cameras or 3/8-24 for tripod heads. The top orange collar locks it in place. It's all hand tightened, so it is possible to start spinning off the ball head without realizing it - there's no locking screws to lock the tripod head in place. The best way to attach the head is to remove the dual sided screw and collar. On the tripod head, loosen the big locking dial and move the plate to the 45 degree position (so it's tucked in the notch.) Thread in the tripod mount screw until it stops - it's actually pressing against the ball at this point. Now spin on the orange collar. Loosen the screw 1/2 a turn. Tighten the collar as tight as you can (without tools!) Now spin on the head and tighten. You'll find it's much more difficult to accidentally spin off.Anyway, great tripod, a little on the heavier side when compared to compact or carbon fiber models, but a good choice for all-around use. Plus being able to convert to a monopod in under a minute is really handy.

loved it...! The backpack makes it very practical to take anywhere. Good quality

Bajo peso, muy versátil y muy seguro para montar y desmontar nuestras cámaras.

needed a tripod that can handle the extra weight of a telephoto lens.This is perfect for the task, it feels solid and well built.It is smooth as butter in movements ( all fluid)Perhaps the 4 part kegs could have been 3 part but in all a great tripod for the money.

little confusing at first (too many moving parts). Very sturdy and versatile tripod.

didnt like how the blacks are finished, but thats just me. the product is as advertised and works perfectly!

Great tripod to use in any environment. Easy to use and great versatility!
