I have been using other cheap tripods before, but I only this KF tripod satisfy my need. It has a metal ball head can be rotated 360 degrees and enlarge the view area through the panoramic shot. Automatic stability suspension system. The tripod came in this nice, sturdy, zip-up case that has both handles and a shoulder strap. Inside, the tripod fits quite snuggly and the legs fold back up around the column to help ensure it is as compact as possible. To deploy the tripod, you simply flip the legs down and the spring-loaded locks will click into place. There are 4 notches on each leg for three different angles, and the thumb latches you press down to adjust them feel well-machined and sturdy.Once deployed, the center column can be adjusted up and down for added height by loosening and tightening the center lock. The lock feels very sturdy and I had no concerns about it being unable to support the weight of my cameraThis K&F can also get extremely close to the ground for nice low-angle shots. You can also invert the center post and get your camera right down at ground level for maximum closeness.All in all, I was pleasantly surprised by this tripod and feel very confident recommending it to anyone looking for a solid, portable tripod at a reasonable price. Nice carrying bag. Solid metal construction. Compact design. 90-degree tilt feature surprisingly fun and useful. Great value for the price.
