The tripod wasn't expensive, you have to keep that in mind. But the information is a bit misleading, because the stand only reaches 2 meters if you fully extend your legs and place them in the narrowest, i.e. shakiest position. If you want to spread your feet a little more to ensure stability even with larger flashes or lamps, we are only 180 cm away. Basically, I would say that the thing is actually only good for unleashing a clip-on flash, for example; studio flashes with softbox start to stumble. And at a height of 2 meters, the stand is so unstable because the legs are so narrow together that the height is actually reduced. Otherwise, the stand is relatively cheap, a combination of (presumably) aluminum tubes and plastic. The stand will certainly not survive very long in the harsh everyday life of a photographer, but as I said, it is also a cheap tripod. Addendum: I was contacted by K&F because of my negative review and they generously refunded the purchase price! Thank you so much for that! That really speaks for K&F and I really appreciate that! My criticism of the stand remains, of course, and I think other buyers should also know that they are not getting the effective height that is described. I will therefore leave the original wording of the review as it stands. I would recommend that K&F revise the description again, because the 200cm is simply not realistic in practice, because the tripod then stands on very narrow feet and is blown over by the slightest gust of wind.
