I like the design of the tripod and how it far it extends. The quality is very good. I haven't used it yet but intend to take it in my suitcase when going on holiday.

This is an excellent quality build tripod. It weighs the same as my excellent Manfrotto BeFree tripod but is larger and more sturdy. The release on the head connecting to the camera requires a short screw on and off rather than the usual quick release snap on but this isn't a major issue to me. The head is completely screw off anyway and can be replaced with anything you might prefer (I swap it with the head from my Manfrotto and an ancient pan-and-tilt head). The head replacement system is extremely good but requires strong hands and a bit of thought. I have the gold version but wish it was done in a non-shiny gold/silver version but that's a small issue. I actually like holding this tripod as it feels good quality for such a light weight.

Perfect

very good, portable easy to get together, stable when used even with bad wind great tripod thanks

Very impressive, beautiful carbon fibre. Tall and robust with plenty of adjustment if needed. Good to have such height available too! I don't use a monopod normally, but may well start to do so as it is easy to detach and set up as a monopod.Really nice piece of equipment and I am really pleased with it.

I have purchased a kandf concept carbon fibre tripod and all I can say is outstanding, the build quality is excellent, I would have liked to be able to interchange the heads though, other than that this tripod is excellent vale for money and I would recommend to any one

There was a slight problem with the plate but the manufacturer was very quick to solve it. Very nice and interested in solving the problem .. the tripod is very good in relation to the price ... Only the ballhead is not so strong..

Very delicious finish. Not quite as stable as a Manfrotto Befree, but certainly better than my old Hama, and nicely tall. Setting up the monopod takes more time than I like, but I guess it's useful when you need a tripod and a monopod and don't want to carry both. If you haven't tried twistlocks before and find them a little uncomfortable, just sit in your sofa for five to ten minutes and fiddle with the locks to let your hands "make friends" with them, and you'll love them.

I bought this as a travel tripod, and in all honesty, it fits the bill perfectly, it is light, compact, easy to use and the bonus is the monopod which is massive. I am sure this will become my main tripod most of the time in the future as it is so portable, it seems to be quite stable, and I have used it in strong wind with a large camera and lens combination with no issues. The pegs that hold the legs at different angles look a bit fragile, but only time will tell with those, and I won't mark the tripod down all the time they are working, it looks well constructed, the bag is also of high quality.So you must be wondering why the missing star?It would have go the 5 stars if it wasn't for the ball head, I thought at first it was ok, but the panning doesn't lock completely, it is dampened though which is a nice touch, the real problem though was when I tried to take a picture in portrait mode, you can't, the ball head doesn't allow the camera to reach anything near level (see image) I did change the base plate to a Manfrotto, but even with the original plate it would not get any closer, for me, this is a big problem and means I will have to purchase a different head adding to my expense.I would still recommend the tripod to anyone thinking of a budget carbon fibre tripod for travel, at this price it really is good value.

Definitely worth the extra money. Light weight with metal leg adjustments, not plastic. Instructions are written in Japanese, but has pictures and diagrams on how to turn into a monopod.
