Looks very sturdy like professional! Acceptable quality for the price

I have many of this brand’s products, so when I saw that they had a stand, I knew I wanted to try it out. The stand does not disappoint. The cushioning is great. The fittings are secure and it seems to be made of good durability metal. I throw this in my bag and use it anytime I am in need of a stand to hold my lights.

Let me start off by saying too often good products get bad reviews as a result of consumers blind buying and or choosing products without educating themselves about the product by not only reading the product description but also by reviewing the product weight and dimensions to determine if said product will meet their needs and standards.The K&F Concept brand is about offering Lightweight, compact, affordable studio gear with features previously only found in high end and or commercial studio gear.This money saving K&F Concept brand offers optimal versatility by offering multiple features sort of an all in one design that you will not find in even the most heavy duty high end studio gear.This extremely competitively priced K&F Concept brand is designed with the idea of offering ready to use out the box videography and photography products by eliminating the need to buy other accessories and attachments. Let’s put things into perspective; with this light stand.K&F gives us a multi adapter light stand mount instead of the traditional light stand mount. This alone saves one $30 to $100+ while creating the opportunity to use this light stand as a tripod with it’s 1/4 and 3/8 screw holes. It also gives you the ability to mount multiple devices on it at once such as a light source and monitor or a monitor and camera or a camera and light source or even two light sources all without the need of buying expensive hardware.In addition to the multi attachment adapter this light stand features a spring cushion previously only found in heavy, bulky commercial grand light stands that cost several hundred and standing above 9ft tall these aren’t features you will find in an entry level light stand nor is it something you will find in a non modern prosumer light stands of yesteryears. This is in fact a light duty prosumer light stand, the price is unbeatable and if this isn’t best in class then what is?Is this as heavy, robust and durable as the light stands of yesteryears? Absolutely not and in todays market with camera and video gear becoming lighter and lighter there’s absolutely no need for a heavy light stand unless you have a heavy duty camera rig and anyone who would argue otherwise is out of touch with the demand of todays content creators who need gear that’s lightweight, durable and most importantly portable. K&F delivers all of that with this light stand that is of insane value in more ways than one and is no doubt a must buy and a suitable replacement for your old and heavy light stand.

Fantastic heavy duty stand.

This Tripod corresponds well to the description and I would have given it 5 stars if it had not arrived with 1 clearly visible shock in the top of one leg. I did not return it because apparently, this impact does not affect its use and I hope that it will be the same for its solidity in the longer term!?

It is the typical tripod that will last you a lifetime, it is ideal to keep it fixed in your place of recording or photography because it does not fold up and you can carry it comfortably with you everywhere. It reaches a height that at least I don't think I'll ever use much, but it's nice to have that option. It is sturdy, firm, well built, with its spring to avoid those shocks when you are folding it and thus not damaging anything. In short, it is a good investment.

The choice of stainless steel is immediately perceptible. The support is solid, rigid and does not have those oscillations typical of cheaper models. The diameter of the tubes, especially the lower ones, is impressive and guarantees exceptional stability, even with my largest softbox or in light wind conditions outdoors. The promise of withstanding 10 kg is not an exaggeration: this support can be trusted with expensive equipment. The built-in buffer spring is a detail that makes the difference. When adjusting the height, the absence of dry clicks truly protects the equipment from bumps and falls. It's a security feature that I really appreciate, especially when working with flashlights or LED lights of a certain value. Reaching almost 3 meters high (289.5 cm) is fantastic for creating lighting from above or for placing background lights in the studio. Despite this extension, when folded to 100 cm it is relatively compact and easy to carry. The weight of 2.3 kg is more than reasonable for the strength it offers, making it manageable even for outdoor use. The 1/4” and 3/8” double thread and the three-way bracket are essential. I can mount practically anything: from a simple flash to a ring light, to a reflector. The ability to orient the equipment both horizontally and vertically opens up endless creative possibilities. The chamfered feet make it stable even on uneven ground without the risk of scratching the floors. The surface finish seems really resistant to rust, a fundamental plus for those who, like me, sometimes photograph in humid environments or near the sea.

Excellent quality. Heavy duty build. Great for studio use. Heavy for remote work. Tripod carry bag would be helpful if using them outside of the studio.

It's heavy, but it has an excellent sense of stability even when using an umbrella ✋ I only use this!
