64"/1.6m Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod with 36mm Ball Head - 64", 8kg Load, Quick Release Plate K254C2+BH-36L
SKU: KF09.123
I am a professional architecture and interior photographer and also do videography. Was looking for a tripod that is light yet stable and sturdy (since my equipment can be heavy i.e. tilt shift/telezoom lenses, and expensive). This K&F tripod ticked all the boxes and the price point is perfect.
This tripod has an excellent and smooth quick release system which is important for me especially when moving from location to location during the critical lighting window for outdoor shots.
The tripod's height is impressive and it can be extended with an option to attach additional weight at the centre of gravity point to make it even more secure.
The tripod's colour is vibrant and the finishing is smooth.
I personally prefer twist locks for the tripod legs, although this is definitely a matter of personal preference. The legs can also be extended outwards using the quick release clip to have an even lower height. This may be particularly helpful when trying to get a lower vantage point for artistic reasons, such as when focussing on the foreground.
Would definitely reccomend as a studio or outdoor tripod or even for events and travel! Carbon fiber tripods are ideal for travelling.

Probably among the very few, if not the only choice if you are looking for a tripod (your first, as in my case) in carbon and under €150. Overall, a good product if you are just starting out with photography (like me) and want to make an intelligent purchase and avoid skinny tripods that will force you to spend more money in the near future. When closed it is very compact and easy to transport given its zero weight , resistant and of good workmanship. I thought that the 162cm height of the tripod was too little. I'm 179cm tall and the fully extended tripod is definitely acceptable (if not perfect, given that we're talking about a compact, travel tripod!) for my height; by extending the central column and with the ball head mounted, it reaches me exactly between my chin and my mouth (therefore almost eye level with the camera mounted... I have a Canon M50 MII) thus preventing me from bending too much and causing any discomfort. Unique the thing is that the orange levers for orienting the legs seem a little fragile but nothing tragic, just pay attention. After all, for absolute quality you undoubtedly have to go up in price. I haven't tested it in the field yet but I don't expect any gross or unpleasant surprises.

This is a very nice tripod for hikes. I use this one when I’m going outdoors and don’t want to bring something heavier. It isn’t too stable in the wind unfortunately, so my pictures don’t look as good on windy days, but otherwise I’ve liked it a lot

Lightweight and handy. Lightweight closing zips. We will see how long it lasts over time. Range capacity is also good for a SLR.

First impressions are excellent quality for an amazing price. Lightweight and as solid a base for your camera as you could expect from any travel tripod. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a lightweight travel tripod.

This is the best and great value tripod for outdoors! I've been finding the right one within 1kg that's foldable, can do panoramic view, has the right height and very convenient to carry around. MUST BUY for outdoor use.
