DSLR Camera Tripod 72"/1.83m 22lbs/10kg Load with Detachable Monopod & Transverse Center Column, T254A3+BH-28L (S211)

I'm no professional photographer, but I am one that loves photography and have dabbled in it for over 35 years. As a matter of fact, at 16 years old, I spent about $120 on a very heavy duty Bogen tripod. I still have it, and it still works excellent, but I swear it weighs 40 lbs. It also doesn't collapse quickly and easily and I just don't bring it out very often.

In the ensuing years, and there's a lot of them, I have owned around half a dozen additional tripods. I have mid-level tripods I have purchased that are about the same price as this K&F, as well as some cheapos that I regret.

For me, I like having the ability to do everything with the tripod from holding a webcam, to holding a lightweight action camera, to holding my current camera which is a Nikon D 5600. I own 5 Nikon lenses now, and a couple of them are pretty heavy, much heavier than the camera itself.

I'm giving you that background to let you know that nothing I have used outside of the original Bogen tripod I referenced earlier has been as stout and versatile as this tripod. For me, this is the real deal. This is something I plan to use for all of my excursions with my SLR hopefully for many years to come. So far, it is proving to be reliable although my use of it has been limited due to the pandemic and the fact that I am not traveling much for work (I enjoyed taking photos during my work trips as one of my primary ways of staying creative and exploring my photography).

Even though all of the photos I have uploaded our brand new of the tripod out of the box, it has now seen a fair bit of use around my property and a handful of other places including in the middle of a stream and on some uneven ground on a mountainside near my home. One of the things I really look forward to doing next spring is macro photography of flowers (and insects! See attached photos I took with this tripod in my Nikon late in the summer in my yard) with the awesome arm extension this tripod gives you.

Unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to use this tripod in as many scenarios as I would like, but I will say that it is in a class entirely of its own when it comes to tripods costing approximately the same amount of money (IMO). In comparison to anything I have seen in the same price range I think this should without question be in your top two or three to consider. There's obviously a lot of research and development that has gone into this tripod to make it a quality, long-lasting product.

As to any negatives, I will report that the only concern I have is how long the quick release leg extensions will last. On two cheaper tripods I have used extensively in the past those have been the first thing to go. Because, well, I actually use them. I enjoy taking tripods with me when I backpack - and on a 3-day backpacking trip, the legs will be extended and then collapsed probably three or four dozen times if not more. It just seems like these quick-release type plastic tension devices wear down and can break easily. I don't know if others have had experience with this sort of thing similar to me, but I'm hoping I can treat this right... so it lasts!

Highly recommended and worth considering even if you are an amateur or semi professional photographer and need either a primary tripod or a backup for travel.

Have been looking for a new tripod for a long time, but as of now I can't afford those expensive ones.
Found this one here at K&F Concept and it fit's my need spot on! I get the height I need, no bending down, can stand normal and use my camera without even raising the center column. It handle my canon EOS 77D with my Tamron 70-300 with ease, and that lense have no tripod mount.

Have used it for long exposure and no problem so far. I simply love it. And exceptional happy with the color , this orange color are just made for my Canon with Ellie PD Short from 3 Legged Thing

Have fallen in love with gears from K&F Concept, so when I can afford a more expensive tripod I know where to look.
I have no problem recommend it. It's great value for your money

The 1/4 20 camera mounting screw is too long (or the plate is too thin) to properly secure on my Nikon Z bodies and grip accessories. When tightened all the way, the plate would spin. Easy fix was to add a washer. Otherwise excellent travel tripod with many options.

I've already purchased K&F Concept Tripod and it is a trusted tripod brand for me!I am adding this tripod because I need a tripod that can take an overhead shot for the unboxing or craft recording.What's great about this tripod is that not only, it can take an overhead shot for unboxing review recordings, but it is also a great tripod and turns into a monopod if you need to.I've uploaded sample pictures of the overhead shot.1. Closer overhead shot - you can set this on (see picture)2. If you need to set the tripod up off the table, you can also do that! (see picture)3. Well... not to mention, it is also a great tripod if you want to take the photo.4. You can also change the ball head if needed. This is really premium quality!Again, I love this product and I wish many people can find this tripod for their photography

This is my first tripod so I don't have anything to compare. But right out of the box I could feel the quality in the material, the tripod not giving out this wiggly feeling but rather strong. I wants a tripod to scan my film so I would love if it can rotate around in various angle, and this one did just that. The tripod is quite heavy to me, so this definitely probably be staying at home, I may try to hike with it. If I did, I will definitely update you guys.
