Pros:
Made of metal
Decent sized ball head
Arca swiss compatible
Can be used for overhead shots
Sturdy
Includes sturdy carrying bag
Cons:
mechanism is lever based and I prefer the twist to adjust but this is just personal preference

The tripod comes with a carrying case that provides ample storage for both the tripod itself and some accessories. A shoulder strap is also included for carrying the tripod, and the case is of good quality, a very welcome addition.
This highly configurable tripod boasts a load capacity of up to 8kg, a quick-release mount for your DSLR, and three different extension positions: 84cm when closed, 134cm with one section extended, and 184cm with both sections extended. The mount head allows for 360° rotation, and an accessory is included for tilting and moving the camera remotely. Additionally, although not included, a mount can be attached to one of the threads to connect a monitor, allowing you to view the camera feed without having to touch the camera.
The leg locking system is very simple, but I find it fantastic. It uses clicks between two legs to prevent them from opening easily. Furthermore, since they're made of plastic, if one breaks or gets lost, you can easily 3D print replacement parts and attach it without any problem, as it's not a difficult part to replicate.
As for how the legs open, they have threaded locks that require one and a half turns to open, and you can lock them at a height other than their maximum extension. It's very easy to set up and unfold in a snap.
The tripod is very easy to assemble overall. Anyone using this type of tripod is clearly not a novice, and you can certainly appreciate the high-quality construction materials.
If you're looking for a professional tripod to take a leap forward in quality, this is a high-quality and very versatile tripod that you'll be able to use for a long time.

Excellent tripod for an excellent price. Good 360 degree rotation and a cinch to get up and running. Clips are also added to the legs to stop it springing open. It’s really nicely finished and with its weight feels like quality and it would need some force to knock over. The bag you get is well stitched, has an inside pocket for storage as well as a double zip opening on front. Is also has an attached carrying strap and comes with a shoulder strap. Inside the bag is a detachable handle for the tripod that can be used in the left or right hand.

I was pleasantly surprised with how sturdy this tripod is and its a good size one as well. All my others are smaller, more for compactness and travel, but I do have any older one that is similar to this one. This is built really tough and a decent weight and height. I really like the quality and the fluid head which was the whole reason I got this. I haven't used this in the field yet but setting it up at home and checking out did impress me so I see no issues with using this.

This is a very serious tripod for video or photography. The unit is a bit heavy even though it's all aluminum but I only need to use it in the field on occasion so no worried there.
It is similarly heavy duty as the Leofoto carbon fiber one I got a few months ago that is also for serious shooting all day in the field.
I have a lot of K&F Concepts gear and all of their stuff is high quality with excellent build and materials for years of reliable use.

This is one of the best tripods that I have used. It is truly heavy duty and looks like it will withstand a hurricane.
This is NOT a light weight tripod. Do not expect to take it backpacking!
