bought this tripod to use for flatlay photography. The tripod is not safe or sturdy with a Canon 6D and 24-70m lens. You MUST add a counter weight the other end for this style of photography. I ended up unscrewing the weight hook at the bottom of the tripod and screwing it into the top horizontal end (see image) to counter weight the camera. The only issue with moving the weight hook to the horizontal bar is that you cant fold it away without having to unscrew it all again. I am happy i can make my style of photography work with this, but for the price, i dont think its anything special! The horizontal bar is too short. Also instructions are not great!

regularly use K&F lens adapters which are excellent value, so I had no hesitation about buying this tripod. I have to say that at this price point it's outstanding. It's extremely light and portable, but above all it's very sturdy. It even comes with a great Ball head with an Arca Swiss type fitting. I've now ditched my Manfrotto in favour of the K&F.I recently lent the tripod to a family member. Unfortunately it came back damaged through misuse. I contacted K&F customer service, and they have been brilliant. Each email I sent was replied to within a few hours. They have pulled out all the stops to fix my tripod. Great product, fantastic customer service.

was really surprised who light it was and has great stability. It ha great height for night photography as it opens to 180cm. So I haven't had to try and bend down and focus at the same time. don't like using the rear screen. As it doesn't move, and you still end up looking through the lens. It look my 5D and a 150x600 lens with no play in it. I also has a hook built in to add more stability

Very pleased with this tripod nice and compact fits nicely in the side pocket of my backpack especially like the monopod feature that this tripod gives you it’s gives you so many options to getting your pictures I have another tripod which has served me well over the years but it’s a bit big and heavy so having this K&F tripod is going to be so much easier to take on photo shoots

This tripod is a beast! Whilst it may not have the name "Manfrotto" or "3 Legged Thing" all over it, it is more than capable for it's price point! Having switched to this from a similarly priced Manfrotto, albeit a much smaller tripod I am initially surprised with the similarly in quality. Whilst the Manfrotto feels ever so slightly more refined, the K&F blows it out the park with height, versatility and ease of use! I always found the Manfrotto locking mechanisms very small, fidgety and likely to give me small blisters from repeated adjustment. Whereas the K&F model has comfortably sized levers/screws. The ability to dettach one leg and use it as a monopod is an excellent addition and the additional grip on this leg is nicely positioned and very comfortable. The ability to move the main central point to a over the top arm for top down/lay flat is amazing! This creates much more potential, and having all this in ONE tripod is a bonus. Overall this tripod feels very well built and feels like it will stand the test of time! There are only three cons I can find! - The included bag is not the greatest of materials and the added shoulder strap has plastic vs metal clips. However if your dedicated camera bag has space for a tripod this isn't an issue. - The twist locks on each leg are plastic, however they do feel very strong and not flimsy at all. Being used to aluminium locks on the Manfrotto tripod I noticed this immediately. - The springs that hold ratchet locks on each leg tight are a little flimsy, again being used to a different mechanism on the Manfrotto this bares no effect on quality and durability. If anything they are actually easier to release as the spring isn't extremely stiff! Who would I recommend this to? Anyone! This tripod is capable of meeting the needs of all photographers at all levels in my opinion! Whilst it may not be as rugged as some higher end brands, the fact remains that it is of very high quality and packed full of features. 10/10 for me.

Excellent tripod, really easy to use and with a good range of movement due to the horizontal arm.

You know, there's not much more I can add to the glowing reviews this has already received. For the money, you can't really go wrong. Build quality is excellent. The fact that it can be used as a standard or overhead tripod as well as a monopod is superb. And the head is also removable if you wish to fit a different type. The carry case is well made and has a good heavy duty zip. The only tiny addtion I can think would be a small pocket on the case to carry mounting accessories and small tools. Other than that, I can't fault it.

This tripod looks fantastic, is incredibly versatile and adjustable and appears to have very build quality. It is clear that some serious engineering has gone in to to design - the level of adjustment is quite incredible, and there is not a single element that feels flimsy or poorly conceived. I am really impressed.

Sturdy Well designed No issues with it I recommend it.

Does exactly what it’s designed to do
