K&F Concept TM2515M1's tripod appears to be lightweight, sturdy, and strong. Adjustments are relatively smooth. Height is more than I needed. Really great tripod except for one item, which has triggered my decision to return it: the Monopod leg is about 1/4" - 1/2" shorter than the other 2 fixed legs, so when you fully extend all 3 legs, the tripod is slightly tilted and not level due to the monopod leg being shorter. Of course you can adjust the difference out, but it takes a bit more time during initial setup. Would have been perfect if all 3 legs where the exact length at full extension.In addition, the latch/hinge for the monopod side appeared to be defective on the unit I received as well. It felt "looser" compared to the other 2 fixed legs.

The tripod legs might be able to hold 22lbs but the ball head wont hold 1/4 of that weight.Just trying to tighten the ball head to hold my 70-300 on my 90D which is light enough that it doesn't come with a shoe collar of its own was enough to cause the ball head lock nob to strip.This probably could have been avoided if the tightening nob used a 6 point hex socket instead of the 12 hex socket so it would have more surface area to grab the 6 point hex nut that actually does the tightening.

I researched Many options before choosing this tripod. I needed some thing that was sturdy yet lightweight and easy to carry around. All the prices I was getting locally at my camera stores were over $200 for tripods.When I received this in the mail I was actually amazed at the quality. I have a friend who will be purchasing this exact one soon as we went for a shoot and her very expensive tripod snapped at the pivot joint.She was impressed with this piece of equipment for the what little I paid.

Upgraded my old tripod to this new design and I'm pretty pleased with it. I bought a K&C Concept tripod two years ago, it was more of a traditional design, which worked really well for me past two years. However, that was a little bulky, even when folded and in its bag, so it was harder to bring it during travelling. I checked for newer tripod design and saw this so I gave it a try, and it was much better design than its predecessor. When this tripod is folded, and stores in its carrying bag, it's only about 20 inches long. The carrying case is also well padded, so it's easier to wear on my shoulders. The tripod itself also weight much lighter, provides much better portability. I like the new ball head design, it's easier and faster to securely attach/remove my Canon DSLR onto it and easier to rotate it 360 degrees during photoshoot. It can also be changed into a monopod quickly by pulling up the center stick. The three legs looks smaller, but they are sturdier and can be locked/unlocked faster. The orange metal pieces on the tripod also make it looks much nicer and more attractive than those standard one color tripod out there. Overall, it was a really upgrade for me.

I love this tripod and it's versatility. However, with all of it's comforts it makes it a bit difficult to take down and setup elsewhere. Overall it is a great purchase for me.
