I have just tried the setups and this does way more than I thought about. What more could you ask for in a quality tripod.

I was quite excited about this tripod. Unfortunately setting it up was exemely difficult. Strong thumbs are required to adjust leg angles and the twists on the legs were difficult as well - very hard to find the point where the pole was loosened and to tighten back up. I emailed K&F to see if there was some helpful tips they could give me, but they never responded. Over a week later, I called them and got a recording that said all customer service needs must be submitted via email. I sent the tripod back at that point.

Terrific, lightweight, dependable tripod. I'm 6'5" so I can nicely have my camera at eye level when I'm shooting my landscapes. That's a first! I've used it in the studio with the boom to shoot product shots over a table, camera looking straight down at the table, and it works beautifully! I've used it submerged in streams about 2' away from the water and I got the shot every time. The ball head is smooth and holds nicely. Just know that this is intended for a middleweight camera not a heavy weight. I use it with Sony A7RII and some heavy lenses, no problem. The legs are thin so you have to be careful when you place it and make sure everything is tightened up and on steady ground and don't accidentally kick it with your foot. You be considerate of that and you'll have success every time. I say that because I've owned some beastly tripods over the years that you could bump into and they weren't going anywhere. This isn't the case with this. But those tripods were HEAVY. I can't take that weight any more. I highly recommend this tripod.

I've had my camera on this tripod everyday since it's arrival. It's a really good tripod. If I have any complaint, it's that the camera attach foot isn't a quick release. That's truly the only complaint. If you're taking your camera on and off the tripod a lot, this tripod will take a little extra time. It's well built, the head is super smooth, stays in position well at weird angles, legs work easily and I'm very happy overall with this tripod, it's been great.

This is a wonderful tripod however for the use with light weight lens. Heavy lens I wouldn't recommend it

You need to use a weight with this tripod if you’re going to use the arm out at 90. Even when locked though it will wobble so I wouldn’t use it for any long exposure work in that config but it’s ok for the money, it feels inexpensive in the finish but the parts are ok.

I bought this as a temporary replacement for a high-end tripod of mine that went missing.I've been using it for several months and am very pleased. lightweight, sturdy, supports my canon 5D mark II with a 150-600mm lens with ease.Taller than most low/middle end tripods and much more sturdy.Multiple ball adjustments are nice.smooth panning and tilt with built in bubble level.I love it!

You need to buy sand bags for it if you want to put your camera side way to keep it from falling. The assembly is easy but it’s a little bigger than I expected when you fold it. I thought I could fir it in the side of my camera bag but I couldn’t. I need to mention I have a big hiking camera bag which has space for 17” laptop, two camera body, and seven lenses. A little Bigger.

Great tripod that can be used in many ways. Super sturdy and I really like the horizontal arm. This might be the most versatile tripod one can get for the price.
