At $80, this is a solid tripod. Comes with a travel bag and allen keys to attach baseplate. An added bonus that it can also be used as a monopod although I will rarely use it for that. Legs are sturdy, easy to adjust, ballhead is solid and smooth, and baseplate seems strong and simple to attach onto camera. The bottom of the legs have rubber caps that can be removed to expose the metal feel. Im mainly using the tripod for long exposure shots, which it does well. The base has a hook to attach a bag for added stability. Overall, this is a great tripod for the money. I’ve had similar tripods in the past that were priced well above this one but this definitely it a good choice if you dont want to overspend.

I recently moved back to America from Japan and had to leave a lot of stuff behind, Including a Manfrotto tripod so I needed a new tripod to sell some things to help me get back on my feet. I looked at geekoto and some other brands and they're all pretty much like this one except they either had plastic where I didn't want plastic or it wasn't clear where the plastic on the tripod is. Using the Manfrotto for years, I at least know where I like there to be metal and this K&F unit has a cast aluminum mount and ball and it's all very smooth.

Likes:
Ball head: is solid and smooth. I would have preferred a toggle over a screw for the quick release plate.
Legs: well they're legs, the aluminum feels solid. The also have stabby things at the bottom if you remove the rubber feet. Some one mentioned the locks for the leg extension were unfinished and sharp. Mine are comfortable to use.
Column: Not too much to say. It does it's job. All the locks have comfortable rubber grips. Someone mentioned the column will collapse if pushed down on. That's true of mine too but I have to make an effort. It's not something that's happened during normal use.
Portability: was not a selling point for me but it's nice to have the option
Monopod: also not a selling point but another nice to have the option. I've never used one before but now that I have the option I might.
Bag: not a selling point, but it's a nice one if the zippers stand up to use, aka not YKK zippers.

Dislikes:
Legs: the spring-loaded locks for the top leg extensions seem weak. On lock solidly clicks into place, the other two are kinda, meh. This might not bother you but it makes a difference to me when setting the tripod up in the dark. The audible clicks tell me where the legs are set.

Conclusion: Ball head is solid. With the exception of the leg locks not clicking solidly/audibly, into place, the unit is well built, uses high quality parts and is enough for what I want it to do and looks like it's versatile enough that I might try some stuff that I wouldn't try otherwise.

It is really sturdy and I'm so excited about this Tripod! Very easy to take photos especially long exposures.

It's very light and quite high. The ball head is metal! It will be my traveling tripod companion. I really like the case it came with. It is compact and feels very rugged and durable.

Definitely recommend having one of these for the travel tripod category!

Very stable tripod

The quality is excellent, we have used it in mountainous terrain and it holds up well to the ground. When extended, it has a good height, and thanks to the fact that it comes with a cover it can be carried more comfortably.

It arrived very well and sooner than I thought. Very good purchase

I was hesitant buying this Tripod given its low price. However, I was surprised as to all it’s features and quality.

I love my K&F tripod, geared head, magnetic filter system, and other products. Value for money, they can’t be beat. On top of that, their after-sale service is really excellent! I’ll be a customer for life.

I got this to replace my cheap tripod that I had purchased many years ago. I got it to take out and do nature photography, and it is light enough that it isn’t cumbersome to take with me. I also love the range of motion on the legs because it allows me to get my camera in just the right spot for the perfect picture. Even though the tripod is light weight the quality of the tripod is very good. It doesn’t seem like it is going to break easily.

Another plus is how quickly I can get it set up. I really like taking pictures of animals and sometimes you have to be very quick.

Had it for about a year, taken it up mountains, into other countries, through caves. It’s stood up tall throughout everything. The case is easy to strap onto another bag if needed, it’s light and you hardly notice it.

I’ve never felt queasy about my camera being attached to it, it’s sturdy and made of high quality metals.

It has an exceptionally large height range, I can position my camera well above my head at 6’1” and barely be able to see the screen. It covers all my bases. I love it!
