62"/1.6m Aluminum Tripod Lightweight and Portable DSLR Tripod with Monopod,10KG Load Capacity Ball Head,Quick Release Plate for Travel and Work A234A1
SKU: KF09.099
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.

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.

Compact and light, but sturdy and stable enough to take a DSLR plus 18-400mm lens. Alos fits neatly into the side pocket of my camera bag. The carry bag supplied provides superb protection when transporting in the boot of my car. Would definitely recommend.

So, I had to send the first one back. The centre column was not straight. In fact it was quite a way from being plumb. I checked all the locking nuts etc, even measuring the individual legs but no, it was defective. When the centre column was extended and the large orange locking nut was tightened, it pulled the column to one side. It was also noticeable when not extended. Not want you want with a tripod.
Not a good start but with good customer service from Amazon, I obtained a refund and ordered another. This time success!
This is a great tripod. The photo's of it are accurate. It feels good and it looks good. It has a good 'weight' to it and does appear to be well made. The ball head clamp tightens up well and there is no movement. Same with the legs, the lever locks are very good and once locked off there is no movement. An Allan key is provided to tighten up the bolts should the need arise.
I'm glad I wasn't put off by my first experience with this tripod. I have confidence in this tripod with my expensive gear on top!

It’s nice and holds the camera very finely. Weight is also not very heavy. Only function it lacks is a Bluetooth remote. It would have been better if it comes with it so that you can use camera from distance also when you are single handedly taking images for yourself

Looks professional, feels professional. Not the lightest tripod.. but a lightweight tripod won't be as steady. You can adjust this thing to how u want your camera.. it's great.

I was looking for an upgrade to my Miranda tripod and this does everything I could wish for. So easy to use, folds down to a neat compact size and includes a well made carry bag. The price is very reasonable and it converts to a mono pod as well. Couldn't ask for anything more.

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.
