This is a long-time review of the K&F Concept TC2534 66 inch Professional tripod and the company behind the product. I purchased this tripod in early 2016 to be a lightweight tripod I could strap on my camera backpack when hiking. I have used $25.00 to $1400.00 tripods and this tripod is well worth the cost and the company's customer service is outstanding. A few months after purchase I had a rubber foot come unscrewed and the company sent me a replacement. Reciently I had a plastic component inside the upper part of one leg break "after almost 2-years of constant use" and contacted customer service again. This company is so good at standing behind their products. So the price is great, the customer service is outstanding, now I will talk about how the tripod performs in the field.The sole reason I purchased this tripod was to use in the field while hiking, doing landscape and when doing my other photo shoots. This tripod has the ability to stand 66 inches or get as low to the ground as you would want to get. You can put any head you want on this tripod "I often use a Manphoto 410" and you can mount the camera below the tripod for product or macro photography. I mount both my Fuji XPro and my Mamiya 645 AFD II Medium Format camera with complete stability.I HIGHLY recommend this tripod for all photographers.

No untruths from seller. Stellar tripod package. More manufacturers should take notice and follow suit to keep up. This is a bit larger than my MeFoto but it grows to a hight I can photograph from without breaking my back. I'm 5'8" tall and this tripod is wonderful. Light weight, short center post if needed and mostly a wonderful tripod to lug, set-up, snap a photo, move and repeat. It handles my Fuji and my Canon gear. No complaints at this time. More as time marches on.

I bought this to stay stable in the New Mexico spring winds, and it does that well. Nice and solid, a definite step-up from entry-level aluminum tripods. Not quite as light as my current portable aluminum tripod (but close) but it is a quantum jump in stability. Legs adjust well, locks are smooth and easy to turn. Reversing the column for close to the ground shots just requires unscrewing the head, reversing the column, and putting the head back on. One leg detaches to be a monopod -- just unscrew it and the head screws right into that spot. There is a small bubble level in the head.Cons: The head is so-so. In particular, very stiff in rotation. It may be better with time, but right now it's not going to work if you intend to pan with the camera -- you would have to put enough force on it to tip the whole thing over. Also, I wish their was a lever option for the quick-release along with the knob.

Very light and solid. I messed up one of the clamps and lost one of the pieces. Customer service sent me a new part, no charge.

I enjoy using this Carbon fiber tripod, it is very stable up to 32inches when used with my 150 to 600 Tamron lens, above this height it is a bit unstable but if I use it with a remote control on my Nikon D300S I have very good result. It is a very good buy for the price and I recommend this Tripod to everybody locking for an excellent Carbon Tripod at a reasonable price.

Nice tripod and very light weight. I have a much heavier manfrotto and this performs equally as well but is much easier to carry not to mention cheaper. It is nice that the unit also functions as a mono pod. Carbon fiber and anodized metal bits give this a nice aesthetic look. I highly recommend this tripod for any budget conscious shutter bug.

Very impressive, beautiful carbon fibre. Tall and robust with plenty of adjustment if needed. Good to have such height available too! I don't use a monopod normally, but may well start to do so as it is easy to detach and set up as a monopod.Really nice piece of equipment and I am really pleased with it.

I have purchased a kandf concept carbon fibre tripod and all I can say is outstanding, the build quality is excellent, I would have liked to be able to interchange the heads though, other than that this tripod is excellent vale for money and I would recommend to any one

Very good value. Nicely constructed and feels very solid. Leg extensions lock into place very well. Silky smooth panning section. This is not as steady and solid as my main tripod, but as I was looking for something smaller and lighter for a travel tripod, I think this is a very good balance between rock steady and light and small to fit in luggage and carry on a plane. That is not to say it isn't steady, just not as steady as my big, heavy, 3 section-legged tripod.Not sure I will ever use the monopod configuration, but it is a nice option to have in the back pocket for places where tripods are not permitted such as many museums etcPros: - great value - small and light enough for a travel tripod - solid construction - heads locks very positively - solid carry bag with handles and removable shoulder strapCons: - not as stable as a non-travel sized/weighted tripod - only level is on head. Makes it difficult to level legs and then head to make panning level
