For a long time I debated whether I needed a tripod at all, and if so, in which price segment I should strike.
Ultimately, I didn't want to invest too much money because I won't be using the tripod very often, but I also wanted to get some quality and portability.

The K&F Concept Carbon tripod from the X - Series described here seemed to meet this requirement...

The tripod is delivered in a beautiful, compact and stable Cordura carrying case. After unpacking, I was initially very surprised at how light the tripod felt and a little worried about the stability it would experience.

The concern is unfounded!

The tripod is of very high quality, all components are very clean and fit together wonderfully.
The legs of the tripod, which can be folded neatly around the center column for transport, are unlocked with a small twist of the rings on the legs and can be easily extended. Another quick twist and they're locked tight.

The center column is stable and contributes to the overall stability instead of worsening it. The fits on the tripod are also very dimensionally accurate, and the components sit neatly together without gaps or wobbling.
The quite compact head from the 30 series is also sufficiently stable and can be easily adjusted, but also locked securely when the camera is aligned.
My heaviest setup weighs around 4kg and is securely supported by both the head and the tripod itself.
If it becomes necessary, the tripod can be weighed down extra on the hook under the center column, e.g. in strong winds or with a very light camera.

A nice added feature is that you can unscrew one of the legs, and then even have a monopod that you can almost carry in your jacket pocket, at least for the weight.

Overall I am very satisfied with the tripod and the head, I still have a solid range of carrying capacity, so that new acquisitions with heavier weight will not be a problem.
The low weight of the tripod guarantees that you can pack it up and take it with you, which was an important argument for me.

The long-term suitability has yet to be proven, but I currently have no concerns that the tripod will do its job.
