Lightweight Travel Tripod Carbon Fiber Tripod 8kg/17.6lbs Load Capacity 60"/150cm with 360 Degree Ball Head,Quick Release Plate,Detachable Monopod C225C0+BH-25 (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 Tripp’s is smaller then I even imagined! Could easily be put into a backpack cup holder. The carbon fiber is really sturdy and it even has a hook under the central post to add weight so make sure the tripod doesn’t move. The design of the head of the tripod allows you to properly fold it so that it closes perfectly into a cylinder shape. (Most other tripods when folded dont). Overall really good for travel

So far so good. This is super light weight. No more “lugging”. It folds down to nothing, especially if you remove the ball head. The legs expand out quickly. The legs do seem a bit flimsy and the tripod isn’t as solid feeling as ones I’ve had in the past. But. If you just have a mirrorless with lenses under 300mm or so, no problem. I have a Sony A6500 and it holds this no prob. Use a 5 second delay or remote trigger and that should kill any vibration before the shot.The only thing I’ve found that kills tripods is SAND. It gets into the twist locks and that’s the death sentence. This one hasn’t been to the beach yet but I’ll update this if things change from five stars.

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 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.

Perfect for holidays and doesn't upset the wife! Really great for my small fuji cameras with small to medium sized lenses, struggles with my 70-300mm with 1.4x extender... but still works if you use a good base grip.

Es un trípode muy ligero (yo diría que 2,5 libras como máximo). Funciona muy bien con mi Nikon mirrorless con un teleobjetivo de 70 200 mm

Compact and versatile, able to support my largest lenses.

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
