62''/1.6m Aluminum Tripod Detachable Monopod with Quick Release Plate, Ball Head and Compact Travel Carrying Bag SA254M1 for DSLR

I bought this few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. I ised it for few portraits and some long exposure fotos in the London nightsky.It is easy to set up at the required hight, very firm and solid and at the same time folds small and is not that heavy as it looks. It also has a small novel and a scale that will help with the panorama stitched images. And all of this for half the price of other brands.

Good value for a well spec'd tripod

I bought this tripod to replace my top-quality Manfrotto, which has been a trusty companion for over 20 years of professional photography.

I needed a smaller, but still solid tripod to fit in the back box of my Honda 50, along with a large medium format camera, for local photo-trips. I measured the back box interior and noted the dimensions information that was given with the tripod, and it fits perfectly (see photo).

I was a bit dubious about the ball head holding my very heavy camera, so I replaced it with the heavy-duty pan and tilt head from the Manfrotto and it works perfectly. I've put the ball head from this one on the Manfrotto to hold a DSLR that I use for digitizing negs.

No, it's not as sold and robust as the Manfrotto (which cost 3 times as much), and that's to be expected. But it looks like it will do the job, and saves me from putting a really heavy tripod on my back when I go out on the bike!

Great tripod. It does all the normal things a tripod can do such as 2-way tilt, pan, and swivel.

Sturdy, stable, super-adjustable, such good value

It’s a good size that extends to just under 6ft tail. Easy to carry and transport for hiking etc. Attached to my camera bag very well.

But expensive however we’ll see if it lasts. Taking it with me next week for a hiking weekend.

K & F products first caught my eye at the Photography show back in 2019 but I didn't really have a close look at any of their tripods as I was fixated on getting a Three Legged Thing. As it turned out I didn't buy anything and didn't get a tripod for more than a year. With finances tight I decided to take a chance on a K & F tripod figuring at that price it wouldn't be too much of a wrench if it wasn't great. I was very pleasantly surprised when it arrived to find that it was more than I expected for the money - seemingly very well built and nice and light into the bargain with a quality carry bag. There are only two negatives in my mind - why use all that lovely magnesium alloy and then stick on plastic knobs for the ball clamp and adjustment? Surely it wouldn't have increased the cost too much to make these in the same alloy? The ball clamp did click ominously one time I tightened it so I'm hoping it isn't going to be a possible weak point. Also, the tripod leg that unscrews to make up the monopod - the female thread is metal but I believe the male thread is plastic, why? I doubt I'll use this feature much so not too much of a concern. I wouldn't hold out much hope with customer services - I did email them about something and had a very strange reply. I don't think I'd even bother trying to pursue a warranty claim. TLT on the other hand are great to deal with and solved a problem with my Ellie very quickly.
It would have been nice to have detachable feet but I guess you can't have everything at this price point? The tripod has a very large height extension so unless you're over 6' 5" you won't have any problems using it. Lastly I really like the orange colour of the alloy components - it matches my Three Legged Thing Ellie L bracket perfectly! I honestly don't think you can go wrong at this price - mine will certainly suit my needs until I can upgrade to a carbon TLT in the future.

Got this for 59 and its very good,same as the more expensive model which costs 86 and the one at 102.It keeps my Nikon P 1000 very steady. I was worried when you zoom all the way in,worried that the tripod will become unstable but thats not the case. Now i can see birdies and deer with 3000 mm zoom:) It holds my camera very well (a heavy camera by the way - 1,4 kg). Ball head is very good, legs are nice and stable, love the color -orange and black, you can use it inverted for macro shots, you can add extra weight for more stability. I had a Hama Star 63 tripod before, this cannot be compared with that one because its just superior in every way. I would say its better than Bonfoto B690A as well. Its a beautiful, easy to use, sturdy tripod , and i also love the twist locks that you cand find on all the expensive models.

At first when opened, I thought that due to it being so light it would not be very sturdy, however, once set up and camera attached, I realised what a handy piece of kit this will be. Due to it being so lightweight, it is easy to carry around with and is very easy to set up.
The phone attachment is also very handy and I have already taken a load of family pictures with it!
Definitely recommend!!!

I document events on Britain's Railway and upload them to my YouTube channel, and as most stations frown upon the use of tripods on the platforms I was looking for a monopod to help brace the camera. Having looked at several monopods I stumbled across this. Wow, tripod and monopod in one unit, and less than £60.

I have other products by K&N and this product comes up to their high standards. The tripod comes in a sturdy box. Inside the box is a nice carry bag with both a velcro handle and clip on shoulder strap. The zips on the bag are sturdy and unzipping the bag reveals the tripod, tubes, instructions and allen key. The tripod head is contained in a soft black drawstring bag. One thing that I like about K&N products is the way they package their products.

The monopod forms one of the legs and is unscrewed from the hinge section. You can add one of the two extensions tube to give you extra height. The clamps are twist lock type and whilst not as quick to set up as my other tripod that has tabs to lock the legs it doesn't take too long to extend the sections and lock them into place. I found the monopod more than capable of supporting my camcorder rig, and the pan on the head was adjustable by tightening or slackening off the thumbscrew.

The tripod has the advantages of being light weight, small and compact, but also very versatile. The legs can spread out far beyond my main heavy tripod to give low level and steady photography. One thing you have to be aware of is that there is some flexing, and the tripod is light weight, but they include a nice spring loaded hook that can be used to hang a weight or bag from to reduce the risk of the tripod from tipping. There is some flex in the legs, but this is really a travel tripod. Having the ability to use the tripod on those occasions where there is no objections, but also to convert it to a monopod when required without having to carry additional equipment is a bonus.

The fact you are getting two products in one makes me recommend this product. You won't be disappointed - I wasn't !
