I recently purchased this tripod, and after using it on a shoot for a magazine article I’m working on, I’m genuinely impressed. The size and weight are spot on – light enough to strap to my rucksack without noticing it, yet sturdy enough that it never wobbled, even in breezy conditions. The carbon fibre legs give it that ideal balance of portability and real stability.

Setup is quick and straightforward. The twist locks are smooth, the legs extend cleanly, and it’s ready to go in seconds – exactly what you want when shooting on the move. The fluid head deserves special mention. Panning is super smooth, tilt control is precise, and it makes shooting video a pleasure. The head is also removable, giving you the option to swap to a ball head if you prefer, which adds a nice bit of flexibility.

In use, it feels extremely stable. Even with heavier camera setups, it never once felt like it was struggling. I also really like the design. K&F have produced a visually striking tripod without compromising function, which is rare at this price point.

Overall, there is a lot of tripod here for the money. Lightweight, strong, fast to set up, great for both video and stills, and incredibly convenient for travel and hiking. K&F have scored again with this one, and it comes highly recommended.
