Bought after reading other reviews stating this was quite sturdy for a lightweight tripod - which seems contradictory ;)I've not had the opportunity to put this through a lot of use as only purchased about a week ago. That said it is sturdier than my son's Befree travel lightweight tripod. I have placed my heaviest lens (Nikon 200-500mm f5.6) on my D500 and there is a slight movement - - - as I expected there would be. Leaning on the top may lessen this but I've not spent a day out with this yet.In working through what set ups you can put this in I found a smashed up rubber washer when disconnecting the leg that allows you to attach the centre column to this leg to make up a mono-pod. I've yet to contact them on this point as it seems such an unneeded part!?

Have no issue with the tripod. Light but sturdy especially when you hang your gear bag off the hook. Was a bit disappointed with the carrying bag. The trim is already fraying which does not bode well for future resilience.

Liked the professional gold look, the ball head, the carbon fibre design and a sensible price. I found using a heavy lens (Nikon 16-35mm) in portrait mode that the camera slipped at the screw on plate and more tightening the plate onto the camera by finger didn't hold. So K&F are ordering another one for free in case of wear. No problems in horizontal plane.If I had used a screwdriver to tighten the plate onto the camera it might hold better in the vertical plane but I didn't want to cause damage to my expensive camera not knowing the strength of the screw thread.Even so a brilliant tripod at the price.

Lightweight and convertible to a monopod. Can take my Canon EOS R with Sigma 60-600mm Sport lens, on a gimbal, with ease. With it being carbon fiber I don't have to worry about it getting rusty when near water. Even though it's bigger than my travel tripod it's now permanently attached to my camera bag. Ball head is nice and smooth too.

I got this tripod to place my projector comfortably in a good height but I got surprised how well built this tripod is. Actually, one of my friends who is a photographer visited me and asked me where I got the tripod. It comes with a bag to carry and all the legs are easy to adjust.A place where you place the camera/video camera/or projector (in my case) also has a mason level to help you identify it is in level.I'm really happy with my purchase.

I purchased this tripod to use with my camera when traveling so I could get some good landscape shots.The tripod is ultralight and I really like the fact it comes with it’s own carry case, I like how easy it is to extend the legs.

I always trust k&f concept for the stuff they made, now I bought this super light weight carbon tripod and monopod , both in one, plus u can do low shoots, worth it

I regularly use K&F lens adapters which are excellent value, so I had no hesitation about buying this tripod. I have to say that at this price point it's outstanding. It's extremely light and portable, but above all it's very sturdy. It even comes with a great Ball head with an Arca Swiss type fitting. I've now ditched my Manfrotto in favour of the K&F.I recently lent the tripod to a family member. Unfortunately it came back damaged through misuse. I contacted K&F customer service, and they have been brilliant. Each email I sent was replied to within a few hours. They have pulled out all the stops to fix my tripod. Great product, fantastic customer service.

This Tripod is ideal for me with my mirrorless camera, it is more sturdy than the cheap tripods and it is easy to use. I can see why the price of a Manfrotto however as the quality is far more superior, you get what you pay for. This is fine for someone like me who is a Novice. Do not buy a cheaper one than this which will blow around in the wind.

I bought this tripod as a birthday present for my sister, as she's seriously into her photography and wanted one to add to her kit of camera stuff. I decided to go for this as it's made of carbon fibre, as opposed to aluminium, and unlike aluminium carbon fibre doesn't rust, so it's ideal for use outdoors, even if it does start raining. The tripod can be adjusted into several different positions in order to gain the best shot - the length of the legs can be individually altered in the event that you have to stand it on uneven surfaces, such as if you're standing it on rocky terrain and need to find a way of standing it so as to get the camera sitting level on the tripod, as opposed to sitting lop-sided. It also comes with a very small shaft that hangs from a chain when it's not being used. Given that the angle of all three legs can even be adjusted so that they're almost level to the ground this makes the tripod especially useful for getting shots that look as though you were lying on your belly aiming up the camera when the shot was taken - simply get all three legs as close to the ground as possible, screw on the short shaft and you can sit the camera on that and get low-level photographs that may otherwise be very awkward, if not impossible, to get otherwise.All in all I'd say that this is a very well made and well thought out piece of kit - if you're currently split between getting this or opting for one of the cheaper aluminium models then get this - it's well worth the money and you certainly won't regret it.
