It's my 2nd tripod the first summer very light and I used it for my bridge I switched to a reflex with a bigger zoom and I decided to take a tripod more suitable for the weight of my camera but I didn't want to too expensive. I have found this model it is really very good I take it with me every time I want to take photos of landscapes or other it is robust and well made, professional and in addition it turns into a monopod if there is no space in addition with the ball joint I can put my camera in different positions for more creative shots. Very happy with this purchase

Good tripod, great materials, looks tough.
I state that I am speaking to you as a non-professional photographer, for what I need it goes beyond my expectations.
Various possibilities of laying the feet and inclination even on non-straight surfaces, equipped with a small level that is very convenient. I was told by a professional photographer that, at the maximum drafting, even on much more expensive tripods and of renowned brands, it is normal for manual shooting to cause small vibrations, you have to go automatic in those cases.
Recommended.

The "handle" of the machine on the ball support is a little uncomfortable. some small difficulties in taking vertical photos if the tripod is not level, in that case it is necessary to adjust the height of the legs to make the camera go vertically, if the "bracket" that connects the sphere to the machine support base had been a little longer should not have been very precise in placing the tripod level. in any case, I would buy it again for the ease of use, the versatility, the weight and the results I have appreciated so far. up to 2 seconds of exposure with light camera breeze upside down and paws placed in the bed of pebbles in a stream the photos are perfectly still.

Pros:
+ the tripod is very light and, when folded, fits into normal-sized backpacks and sports bags without any problems
+ the mobile phone sits firmly in the holder (even though I had to remove the case to do so).
+ the length of the legs is individually adjustable and the feet are on ball joints, so that uneven ground
was no problem when recording outside
+ the clamping mechanism for the mobile phone can be moved in several axes to
bring the mobile phone into the desired position, the swivel arm helps with the Fine adjustment
+ the closures and locking devices for the various moving parts close securely and
make a stable impression
In terms of price-performance ratio, I am absolutely convinced of the product.
If you are looking for a light and portable tripod for occasional use, you cannot go wrong here!

I had the opportunity to try this stand next to its predecessor the KF-TM2235, and immediately appreciate its improved stability, thanks to the increased sections of the tubes that make up the legs. Obviously, however, having increased the diameter, consequently also the weight increases, for this reason plastic inserts have been inserted to contain the overall weight. Plastic parts which, on the other hand, do not give the same feeling of strength compared to the previous version. This also gains the ability to transform into a monopod, I didn't need to use it in this mode but without a shadow of a doubt it can be useful especially when using heavy telephoto lenses.
Basically it's a good travel tripod, worth the money it costs.

I am really happy that I received it on the third day of my purchase and I am very satisfied with Black Friday's delivery service.Excellent tripod, very well built and in my opinion equal to much more expensive products. In my opinion it has only a couple of negative points:
- the "unscrew" leg locking system is not very fast, I would have preferred a lever release;
- it is quickly scratched and the marks can be seen on the paint;
For the rest it is perfect, only I would have preferred it a little lighter.
Included is also a carrying bag and it is possible to unscrew one leg and use it as a monopod.

I've been looking for a long time to find the best tripod for (in the first instance) room photography with a cell phone without overpriced. There are always positives but also very negatives.
First wanted to buy a combination selfie stick (easier to take with you), but it quickly became clear that they are really too unstable and can only be used as a tripod if necessary. I also need a height of up to 150 centimeters for indoor photography. I was not disappointed: the top of the mobile phone (lying) is 177 centimeters.
This tripod is really very stable. Everything is borrowable, the legs and center tube are aluminum and the rubber feet are super strong and swivel to adapt to the landscape.
A clear buy recommendation for me!

First of all: I have been using the tripod mainly outdoors for about 2 weeks in combination with the Sony Alpha 6000 and a remote release. I am very satisfied, especially for the price a top tripod. It has replaced my old one, which was about 3 times as expensive.
- The load capacity of 5 kg is more than sufficient for camera + all common lenses.
- It is quick to assemble and disassemble and thanks to the built-in spirit level, it can be adjusted straight enough.
- The weight and compactness make it my favorite tripod for city trips and hiking.
- When it's windy, I hang a sack with stones on the tripod hook, which stabilizes it very well. Even when the tripod head is fully extended, it is still stable.
- The fixations all work perfectly.
- So far I have photographed 6 times in almost any weather for 1 to 2 hours and cannot give a long-term assessment. But so far everything is very stable, no signs of wear etc.
- Have also used it for star photography with the appropriate exposure time in light winds. No problem with the tripod.
- All in all, absolutely top at the purchase price of approx. 150 euros, can absolutely keep up with much more expensive tripods.

I bought the carbon tripod because I finally wanted a ball head :-). The tripod is incredibly light and yet very stable. The screw caps are easy to open and then tighten again. The camera sits great on the ball head and is then super adjustable. The fixing screws are smooth-running and yet very easy to fix. 1.: Unfortunately for me there are 2 small weaknesses in the product: The clamps for adjusting the tripod feet rattle incredibly. I always have to worry that the clamps will fall off. 2.: When the camera is attached to the plate on the ball head mount, the spirit level is on the side of the display, which I think is ok. BUT the knob for attaching the plate is then on the side of the lens. With my Sigma, however, the rotary knob is almost on the lens. There are only 10ths to 100ths between the rotary knob and the lens. I find this ugly.Otherwise, the tripod is a recommendation.Positive:-Weight-Stability-Size-Flexibility-faster useNegative:-Clamp to adjust the tripod legs rattle-Setting screw for attaching the mounting plate camera/ball head very, very, very tight to the Tripods from SigmaNevertheless a clear recommendation on my part.

The Tripod comes with a sturdy case, and also had a little velvet bag covering the quick release area to protect it.
