I have a handful of K&F camera gear and I can't say any of it has disappointed, so I had fairly high expectations for this tripod/selfie stick.Fully compact it is about 8-9" in length (without a camera attached) which makes it a little longer than other products I've use that are made with a similar purpose. But even with the extra length is doesn't seem to be any heavier, and in general just feels pretty nice quality for being made of plastic. When it's fully extended it is easily over 2' in length which in my experience, unless you're trying to capture fairly big group shots is longer than most people will ever need.At one end is an adjustable ball head, this tightens fairly well, but it is plastic holding plastic so even when it was fully tightened a medium amount of force was able to move it around, but after moving it held in place. Again for the use case and versatility of it, I'll accept that as a more than passing expectation. On the other end is a grip that you can turn into a tripod stand that feels pretty sturdy, definitely one advantage of it being a bit larger than others.Some little features I though were interesting and unexpected. There is a locking system that allows you to lock the legs in either the tripod position or the handle position, just some extra security I assume. I thought it might be to lock the length of the telescoping pole, but no such luck. Still, a nice feature. Also there is a threaded 1/4"-20 hole on the side. I imagine this would probably be useful to attach some accessories like an external audio recorder. Again, just a nice little touch.Overall K&F has surpassed my expectations again and made something that's easy to use, a good product for the price, and has more functionality than expected. An easy 5 stars.
