I have bought a few items previously from K&F and found them to be very good quality but this is the first tripod I have received. Again, it is absolutely top notch.

As travel tripods go, it is a bit on the heavy side as it is aluminium and not carbon fibre. The ball head is tight to move which is preferable when you have a heavy lens and it can rotate and lock in any position you like. So for taking macro photographs around the garden at obscure angles, this works brilliantly.

The tripod itself becomes more stable once the legs are extended, I was asking a lot with the included photos as the weight of the lens was quite far forward. However, it did just fine. The legs themselves can be adjusted for angle as well as length which will allow you to fully support the camera on a variety of uneven surfaces.

The camera plate is a "universal" size which is perfect for me as I have several tripods I use depending on whether it is macro, landscape and astronomy (each tripod has a different head).

Quality wise and functionality this is brilliant and it is only the weight which to be fair is not an issue but drawing comparisons against existing carbon fibre tripods you do notice the difference. However, it works as expected and should last for years.

Asking price is fair and I do like the included extra for a mobile phone holder.

This is a keeper !
