60”/1.5m Camera Tripod 17.6lbs Load with 360 Degree Ball Head,Quick Release Plate,Detachable Monopod for SLR DSLR C225C0 (BA225)

Even though I read the reviews, I was still surprised by the compact size and weight of this tripod. The components are all quality, it's well made. I'm 6'1" (185cm) tall and use a Pentax K1 with battery grip and 24-70mm f2.8 lens. It's a tall, heavy camera setup. My immediate concern was that the tripod will be too short and if I flip the camera vertically the tripod might fall over. To my surprise, fully extended, the camera viewfinder is almost too high for me. This places the lens over the heads of most people if you're in a crowd and most DSLR cameras have a tiltable LCD screen for viewing anyway. Its also quite stable for its weight. Horizontal or vertical, the camera was in no danger of falling. I wouldn't risk it on a windy day though.

On the ballhead there are 3 separate knobs to lock rotation, ball tilt and camera base plate. All very solid. The baseplate also has a really nice bubble level and a compass that will help you align the tripod to North for astrophotography.

If you're a hiker or traveler, I highly recommend this for the price / performance ratio.

This tri-pod is everything you want. Sturdy, carbon fiber, twist lock legs. Fits inside my bag if I want to. A hook for a weight bag. The head feels a little tight not so smooth maybe it has to break in.

loving it so replacing my 20 year old tripod w this one; compacts down real nice and is slightly taller that my old one! time will tell how it holds up!!

I bought this K&F Concept Carbon Fiber Tripod for my new Sony A7III. It is really light and portable. This tripod meets my need perfectly. The legs also are very easily adjustable with a quick turn and I like the ball head that is really solid made and easy to adjust my camera.I am really recommend the good made and high quality tripod.

Having spend a fair amount hiking and exploring, I was looking in the market for a lighter weight tripod (i had full-size alloy one ). I find this carbon fiber tripod affordable to buy within my budget. It is Very Light (1005 grams - Verified) so definitely helps for long hiking trips.
All three legs are carbon material which can be adjusted into multiple heights using 4 circular locks on each leg. Each circular lock tightens a leg in clockwise rotation for a particular height and releases the legs to expand in anti-clock rotation. The camera mounts on a plastic made base along with bubble level to align the camera straight. So far I have used this tripod on hiking trip only once and my camera sits without any wiggle on the plastic mount with kit lens, prime lens and telephoto zoom lens.
Each leg has 2 indexing positions which works well for me. My previous tripod had 3 index positions and to be honest, I never really used the middle one so it's not a huge loss for me. The legs extend with a twist-lock mechanism and slides and locks very smoothly, noticeably more smooth than my previous one. I do have a 70-200mm lens and feel I have to be a bit more careful when getting my shots set up because this tripod has a narrower stance than my previous one and with my lens mounted at full extension is a little less stable than I'd like. BUT, given my intended use and how compact and light weight this tripod is, I am very, very satisfied with it.

This tripod is exactly what I wanted - super light / bullet proof strong / compact / sleek design = 5 STAR ... I will likely buy a couple more of these.

This is a superbly lightweight and awesomely built tripod, I tried mine as soon as it arrived, k&f really do make some of the best quality items for the money, ideal for travelling due to its mere size, but extends to a height that’s perfect for me, I decided to upgrade my tripods for my photography and videography and found that k&f suit my needs, i own a few k&f tripods now and they are perfect for the job, I would recommend these.

Its a very light tripod (I would say 2.5 lbs at most). It works great with my Nikon mirrorless with a 70 200 mm telephoto lens

Do the taf well, the feet look fragile with the 150 600 tamron g2, I'm not trying to put in the last one with 3kg5. We'll see in time

Light weight great for hiking & travel.
