72"/1.8m Aluminum Video Camera Tripod Transverse Center Column 22lbs/10kg Load with Detachable Monopod & Transverse Center Column, T254A3+BH-28L (S211)
SKU: KF09.079V2
The tripod from K&F is well made and appears to be of very high quality. All integrated parts are made of aluminum and not, as is often the case, of cheap plastic. The ball joints are very practical so that the camera can be brought into any position. The built-in spirit level is very useful. The tripod is very stable and can be easily adjusted in height, nothing gets stuck. With the supplied bag, it can be easily transported and stored. Clear buy recommendation

I have a small carbon fiber tripod that I like to take on most trips, but I wanted it for use around the house, around town, and for mountain trips. There are several features that I love about this tripod and that makes it unique even though I already own two other tripods. First of all, I'm 6'5 so I love that this tripod can be taken out way beyond my height. I even plan to use it for single shots from above as I can trigger my shutter with an app (I normally use a Sony A7RIII..a Canon 5D Mark III is pictured). Second, the monopod function is awesome. You just unscrew one leg and where the post with the head attaches and you screw them together. I I wanted a monopod that could hold some weight and this meets that need. Third, and the main reason I wanted it, is that it can be used for aerial shots (my attached photo has a quick example of how it works...sorry for the old iPhone photo quality). I review tech gear on occasion for Youtube and it allows my iPhone or Canon to be used for aerial shots, while I use the Sony for front end video on one of my less efficient tripods. I guess the only thing I don't know now is how well it will hold up, but I'll update if I have any issues. I also want to note that my girlfriend liked the look of this one. I guess the orange parts of the tripod look attractive compared to the typical all black styles of my other tripods. All in all, it meets so many needs for my normal home use that my travel tripod can usually stay in the case.

I am so glad I did as this tripod is perfect, it’s so compact and hardly noticeable when carrying for a full day.

Color Name: TM2515T1/5 sections/170cmVerified Purchase This is my first cheap tripod and what a difference it made. So elegant and solid. Easy fine adjustment and all legs retract smoothly. It is easy to configure for my use. The carrying case has a padded cushion and a carrying strap. The only thing that struck me was that after mounting the camera it is sometimes difficult to check the level if the camera housing blocks the view of the level. I guess I could have accommodated, but I was lazy and all the photos came out a bit askew in one shoot.

This tripod is so versatile. It can go high (230cm) or low (macro/ground level). One leg can be detached for a monopod. The mount can be horizontal for panoramic shots. Attachments can be reversed to take macro shots. It is quite small and comes with a durable zippered bag, with a handle and a (removable) shoulder strap. I opted for the larger size because I'm 6'7" and don't want to bend over every time I use it. There's plenty of headroom as a tripod, even with a taller base. wide. The monopod stick is big enough for me too. The monopod collapses tiny and has a standard 1/4" mount - I will be using it as a small/light hunting binocular mount. All settings are well labeled with degrees and indicators, there is also a small green spirit level for ball balance. No complaints at all; it is well made and well designed.

I've been thoroughly happy with my tripod, it's lighter, a little more compact and easier to work with than my existing tripod, which I will still use. I have one issue, the plate doesn't actually tighten enough to secure my Nikons but, I use my own plates. K&F have asked for a video of the problem which I'll happily supply, when I have the time
