Great compact tripod where the legs fold inwards for a smaller design. The leg heights are secured by twisting the lock for each length. I'm happy that this is compatible with my Peak Design's Arca plate so now I can use the clutch without removing it for the tripod. The ball head design is great cause it allows you to set the camera at any angle, including portrait shots. It is nice and sturdy and I am comfortable using it with my other equipment without any fear of it tipping over.

I like using tripods when I‘m taking photos at events. This tripod suits my needs very well. It comes with a carry case with short handles or a longer one that I can sling over my shoulder.
The tripod height can be adjusted to your needs. The legs have a twist lock at are easy to extend and lock. The feet have a padded rubber that helps prevent the tripod from slipping. One of the legs can be removed to create an adjustable monopod.

The top has a level. The metal ball head moves smoothly.

The angle of the legs can easily be adjusted. I like that I can easily go from a wide base to a smaller base with easy.

Overall this is a great tripod. It is lightweight and easy to set up and tear down.

Get it.
Seriously, this is an awesome tripod. I say this a lot, but it‘s true: K&F has top notch products, and this is no exception. Carbon fiber is so much better in my opinion than aluminum tripods. This folds up really small, comes with a nice travel case, and is sturdy. 10/10 stars

The carbon fiber in this tripod does an amazing job at keeping the whole thing very light and portable. The rest of the hardware (locking cams to extend the legs, adjustable center post) are also high quality, durable, and rugged.
The included ball head is just ok though - it‘s fine, but not excellent. I likely will swap it out for one of my higher-quality heads, but for testing this tripod the included ball head is fine. It does fit common lock plates, and I had no trouble fitting my mirrorless camera with an existing lock plate onto the ball head. The ball head itself has what feels like a plastic handle, and a plastic ball. Also, the top plate was not securely attached when the tripod arrived, and even though it came with an allen wrench to tighten things, I *really* had to crank down on the center bolt in the ball head top plate to get it secured. The whole design of the ball head is... mediocre.

The center post also has a sturdy hook where you can hang a sand bag or your camera bag to add some extra stability for a shoot. The ability to convert 1 leg into a monopod is a great feature, and is one that I've used extensively on some of my other tripods, so I was very glad to see that included.

This tripod is an excellent choice when traveling, or whenever you need to save weight but still need a good tripod for your camera.

I've wanted a carbon fiber tripod for a long time and I have a lot of K&F concept equipment and am a huge fan because everything from this brand that I have got has exceeded my expectations of quality. I am absolutely thrilled with this tripod and as a content creator I use it every day. It's replaced my old aluminum one that was still nice, but this is just sooooo nice! Everything works very smoothly and the build quality is excellent and you can just tell the moment you pick it up that it's a high quality product.How My Star Rating System Works & What They Mean:1 STAR - Pretty much junk and I would return and ask for a refund if I could.2 STAR - It works, but barely meets the minimum requirements it should in order to keep it and not return it, but I would not order again.3 STAR - It does what it was designed to do, but there's nothing really special about it. It's acceptable but not great.4 STAR - I am very comfortable recommending it to a friend because it is is well made, durable, and delivers on its advertised features, and I would buy it again.5 STAR - I really love it. The item exceeds my expectations of quality, durability and functionality. Not only would I purchase it again, but I would also actively encourage friends and family to do the same.All of my reviews are my own personal opinion and are completely honest no matter if I receive an item for free or I pay for it. I am an avid kf concept shopper, as well as an kf concept Vine Voice and I personally rely on reading reviews to make all of my buying decisions, so I understand the importance of honest reviews from my peers.

extraordinary tripod, of excellent quality. It arrives home in a rather simple and not even particularly robust box. Let's say that the first impact was not the best. Inside, however, I found a very respectable briefcase case, robust, very pretty and comfortable to carry. It has two practical handles held together with Velcro but inside the case I also find a shoulder strap so I can also carry the tripod on the shoulder. Inside the case I found: - the tripod; - the shoulder strap; -3 hex keys; -2 small user manuals written only in English and Chinese. Although there is no translation into Italian, the instructions are understandable thanks to the numerous images that explain how to use the tripod but in fact it is all very intuitive. The first thing that struck me about this tripod is the quality of the materials, it is very sturdy but at the same time light and comfortable to carry around. Especially because when closed it takes up very little space, in fact it is just 50 cm long. But once opened it becomes enormous , it opens easily and the length is incredible, measuring 175 cm. The legs can in fact be extended into 4 different sections in order to adjust the height impeccably and position the tripod even on steep terrain without problems. Among the other in the upper part it also has a practical level or bubble that allows me to position it perfectly straight. The legs are easily adjusted, just unscrew the wheel corresponding to the section to be adjusted. The feet are completely rubberized and give stability to the tripod. But the The extraordinary aspect of this tripod is that it can be dismantled to create a monopod. In short, it is an extraordinarily well-made product, definitely suitable for professional use and quite comfortable and versatile. Therefore I recommend it without a shadow of a doubt, the quality-price ratio is correct.

This very lightweight carbon fiber tripod comes in cylindrical bag that is only a little over 20 inches long and 5 inches in diameter. To fit into the bag with the pan and ball head mounted, the center column is extended full length and the telescoping legs are then collapsed, unlatched and then folded upward and parallel to the center column. I think this is going to be the tripod of choice for traveling because it is so much more substantial than our other compact tripods but the bag is only slightly larger in diameter.I'm still coming to grips with twist-locks for the telescoping legs (I find levers to be quicker), but I'll get used to them. I find that I prefer using this tripod with the last section of the legs left unextended, putting the top of the camera plate at about belly-button height for me. This provides the best stability, and I can still extend the center column to raise it if need be.Thankfully the ball and pan head on this tripod are nearly perfect. I have had bad experiences with other compact tripods with swivels that wobble unless locked down. For photography this is rarely a problem anyway because I'm usually locked when in position, and I don't really use a tripod like this for panning video. But I do appreciate the smooth, wobble-free motion of the K&F head.The ball head is equally perfect. With the notch in the ball head socket positioned straight forward to allow the camera to aim downward, the locking lever/knobs for the ball head and pan are conveniently located at equal angles left (for the ball lock) and right (for the pan lock). The ball lock is a lever instead of a knob, which gives a little better grip for tightening, and it has the common spring-loaded coarse repositioning mechanism that allows you to pull it out and reposition it to the optimum angle. The Arca-Swiss saddle lock and the pan lock are both fluted knobs.The locks for setting the leg angle are spring loaded. To widen the legs you pull the latch fully out, but when collapsing the legs to steepen the angle the latches pull in on their own and don't need to be pushed in as with some tripods.There are three 1/4-20 tapped holes for storing camera plate screws located between leg attach points. One spare screw is included.I think this is probably going to be my most commonly used tripod. It's compact for travel and yet stable enough for day to day use.Highly recommended.
