My first experience with this type of tripod, and I am not disappointed. Feels as good as other bigger brands which cost much more. Thoroughly recommend it.

I like the overhead feature and it works very well.

Very impressed with this product, needed a new tripod for ages, it’s light weight, but stable, with quite a few different set ups, making it a very versatile product, not had chance to use it out in the field, though have used it around home, the ball heads are very smooth and feels good when panning. I would highly recommend this tripod, the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because one of the leg locking mechanism is very fiddly, need two hands to release it.

Good sturdy tripod, great vaule for money. Maybe lacks afew pro features but I knew that, but product you get for the price is good.

This is a step up from the many cheaper quick release plates on Amazon. It is beautifully constructed with moulded safety catches to prevent the plate from sliding off an arca swiss style quick release clamp.

I have it permanently fixed to a heavy 300mm zoom lens and bought it for use with a K&F ball head but have found that it fits all of my other arca swiss clamps too. The only one it doesn’t accommodate is a Sirui clamp which has no recessed grooves for safety catches. I would avoid buying the Sirui clamp altogether and kit yourself out with this style of plate and clamp combination because it is much more versatile, is cheaper, and in this case, just as well constructed.

I've included two photos showing the quick release plate and a K&F ball head. Just look at the build quality.

A fantastic product.

The tripod is compact and lightweight. The mount is plastic which is a shame it would have been nice to have a metal one.

The camera movement is nice and smooth and it has a lot of position. The legs are strong and sturdy. It needs a counterweight when using the overhead and the hook for one isn't the best.

Pros
Nice build quality
easy to adust lefts and head.
smooth glide.
light-weight

Cons
plastic camera mount
tips easy when using the overhead.

Overall a nice tripod with a few bits that could be improved to make it prefect.

I took a closer look at the travel tripod over the past few days and would now like to share my impressions. Overall, the tripod scored well, although there are slight deductions in the B grade.

==== Scope of delivery ====
To be honest, there is not much to tell about the scope of delivery. Included are:
- Travel tripod
- Carrying bag (incl. shoulder strap)
- instruction manual
- Allen key
Everything is delivered in a descriptive cardboard box, but this is of course only a secondary matter for a tripod.

==== Look & feel ====
The colour of the tripod is timeless black with small red elements. I really like this combination, but it's nothing out of the ordinary. The tripod is not too light and feels good in the hand. So for the money, the buyer doesn't get rickety cheap goods. However, some parts of the tripod were scratched, which is why I have to deduct a B grade for this. However, this did not affect the functionality. The legs are pleasantly easy to adjust. All operations go off without a hitch.

So, apart from the minor quirks, a great look and feel!

==== Functionality ====
The tripod can be extended to a height of approx. 1.54 metres. At the lower end there is an additional hook to which weights can be attached. This should provide more stability. Since I don't necessarily extend the tripod completely, I didn't need any additional weight.

The head element including the ball head works very smoothly and without jerks. With a steady hand, it should perhaps also be possible to do small camera pans, if these are desired. This flexibility is enhanced by the fact that the rod can be rotated 90° at the top. This allows for side shots or shooting very close to the ground.

In addition, the tripod can be converted into a monopod. With my hands, however, I prefer to rely on three legs.

The supplied bag looks high-quality and is made of a slightly thicker material. This may be too bulky for some. I usually transport my travel tripod directly on my backpack so that I can access it quickly. Therefore, the transport bag is just a nice extra for me.

==== Conclusion ====
With this travel tripod, the whole package is right: quality (except for a few compromises), looks and functionality are convincing. I already own a travel tripod, but it only cost half as much and has a correspondingly cheaper finish. This one will stay on the shelf from now on, as I like the new one much more.

I was looking for a new, lighter tripod after a total change of my camera equipment from an SLR to a hybrid. I initially chose a carbon tripod of only 1.3KG, ideal to carry, as it was so light that it fit directly into my backpack and not outside.
But in use, it was another thing since I was used to an Alta Pro 263AT, I had lost this freedom of movement since it did not allow me to place my camera in certain positions. After having put it in the wardrobe for a while, I decided to find a replacement and I found this model, which is a little heavier (300 grams) but in the end corresponds much better to my expectations thanks to the remote arm and the possibility of transforming the tripod into a monopod in a few seconds, which allowed me to part with mine at the same time and to amortize the price of this tripod. Following the first tests, it's really a no-brainer so far.

IN SUMMARY
Appreciable lightness combined with a minimal footprint
Shooting from every possible and unimaginable angle
A solid feel that I hope will last over time

Review uodate!
Have this amazing multifunctional tripod for a couple of months and have to admit its very very good! This company had such a great idea of creating such a helpful device! There is no change of quality since I bought this item, works perfectly after 5!months.
Really happy with my choice!

Hello guys!
This is my 4th K&F product, i am in love with this company! So far their products proved me that they are good quality.
This tripod in particular is very light, easy to use and STEADY!
The reason I bought it is for its transverse feature, I shoot OVERHEAD food videos and its really helpful! Check the pictures. Besides this why to get a monopod when you have K&F? It has rubber grip, easy to mount, very light! I was checking online for similar products with the same features, well at least double price. Think about this.
What i like the most about this product? Well, the rotation screws, just simply to use and really functional.
I think you can place it anywhere because you can modify the postion of the legs this is why i manage to fit it on the table i am using to film. What you see in the pictures is not actually what I do, I am waiting for my wife to come back from the market with goodies and to start filming. Sorry that I didnt put pictures of the process but its the same thing. I also take pictures of interior, well, used it for a short session like for 30 min and im happy with it, as you can see in the last picture, its amazing how small it can be.
Next K&F product I am going to get........a backpack!!!

I ordered this tripod as I needed a lightweight, compact, sturdy travel tripod for my trip.
I read many reviews from several travel tripods and settled on this one.

I am so glad I did as this tripod is perfect, it’s so lightweight, compact and hardly noticeable when carrying for a full day.
It comes with its own bag included within the price. Some other tripods you have to pay additional price for the bag.
It folds down to such a small size and the weight is very light.
