78"/2m Overhead Aluminum DSLR Tripod Compact Portable Vlog Tripod Monopod 22lbs/10kg Load, K234A7+BH-28L (S210)

I should start that I'm just a photography enthusiast. I like to capture family moments and take some portraits here and there.It's hard to make your kids to stay still let alone put yourself in the picture! I will finally try to capture some all family portraits (after buying budget backdrop).My 9 year old son immediately stated he will use it for his YouTube channel recording

This is a very nice mid-range tripod with a lot of functionality. While it does fold down, it is not a small thing, and it's great that it comes with a case but this isn't too small either so be prepared for an extra thing to lug around. This isn't going to fit in well with a compact set of camera gear.It is incredibly adjustable, extending to a height well over the height of my head so it's ideal for really tall people (alas, I am not really tall). Despite its size, it is also very lightweight, being made of aluminium. It does feel a little rattly when you are setting it up but once you have it ready with the camera on (and possibly hanging a bag/weight from it) it feels very sturdy indeed.There is no pan handle but there is a bolt you can loosen to allow panoramic panning, which is a very smooth movement. The head is also fully rotatable, moving through 360 degrees.You can also remove one leg and part of the central tube to create a monopod instead, the rubber foot of which is removable so you can use the spike instead to prevent the leg sliding along the ground.The tripod is rated to take up to 8kg in weight. One of my lenses is a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM which actually weighs close to 15kg. Add the body at another 700g and surprisingly the tripod doesn't struggle at all. They've obviously greatly undersold how well the tripod handles with greater weights loaded on it. However, this was tested with no additional weight hanging from it, and I was inside on a level hard floor at the time.All in all this is an amazing tripod for the price. Perhaps more expensive than a beginner would like to pay but it is getting on for professional quality at only a fraction of the price. It is a very good investment if you have any desire to up your photography game.

The best tripod I've ever used - simply in a different class. Pretty lightweight, both the legs and head of this tripod offer huge flexibility in angle and height, locking securely in place once set. It has a built in level and the camera can also be attached underneath. It pans nicely, so would work nicely as a video tripod as well as its primary purpose for photography. Comes in a nice bag and folds down surprisingly small. Excellent product.

I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality of this tripod, for the price you get a lot of value. I used it with my Canon EOS 750DThe main body is aluminium which makes it resistant and strong whilst also lightweight. Some of the more expensive options use Carbon Fibre which is much lighter, but I find the compromise to be sufficient. The other components are made of rubber and plastic on the end tips and other intricate areas.When extended, this tripod can reach 2 metres in height, which is on par with many of the high-end models and opens you up to an extended rage of shooting opportunities versus a shorter tripod. When deploying the tripod, you can use the rubber feet on solid surfaces or remove them to use the spikes in grassy or softer surfaces. Each leg is adjustable individually which allows for deployment on uneven surfaces, it stays very sturdy and rigid in the position you want it to be. To help you with this, it has a small integrated spirit level which aids you in finding the perfect balance.The ball head is Arca-Swiss, and the plate is compatible, so you have some flexibility when it comes to using different components. The legs of the tripod have strong clamps to secure it into position, this is very easy to use when deploying and takes a lot of time out of screwing them. It is able to compact into a fraction of the size when deployed, making it easier to carry around and store in smaller spaces.The included carry bag is very strong and provides padding and multiple compartments to protect the tripod and also store additional items. It has a shoulder strap and a handle which make it very easy to carry and travel with.Overall, this tripod punches above its weight and is in direct competition with the high end models, it is great for beginners and the experienced alike and there are no compromises in the quality.

This tripod is much better than the past ones I have usedIt can be converted into a mono pod which is great for travelling versatility, sometimes you do not need a full blown tripod but you just need a bit of stability or height.The height of this tripod is amazing, it is taller than me!it comes with a nice carrying case which is good when travelling as it will not be as damaged as others without a carrying caseThe bottom of the feet are versatile too, they have rubber covers but underneath then are blunt enough metal spikes for less solid ground

This is an amazing tripod. It’s quite light and fairly small but extends to a massive 2mIts made from aluminium and while not as light as carbon fibre it is much cheaper. Fully extended this tripod is sturdy and could be used for long exposure shots. The tripod has rubber feet but these can be pulled off to reveal spikes which ,depending on the ground, could give better grip. The tripod comes with a very nice Arca Swiss ballhead.There is also a very strong carrying bag with an additional shoulder strap. The bag is high quality and should last a long time. The legs are adjusted by clamps rather than screw locks. This makes it quicker to deploy.After a couple of uses this weekend I can highly recommend this tripod. It’s a good quality at a good price.

My partner bought a tripod for our big heavy zoom lens, but when we tried it on, it wasn’t very stable with the weight being on front. So I bought this, it said can hold up to 8kgs. Until it arrived I didn’t even realised it was the same brand. It is much sturdier, and def can hold a big lens. Took it out on the weekend. Both, you can see on the picture the other smaller one is great with ‘normal’ weight lenses, but for a heavy lens def go for this tripod. We were on a marsh and even tho it was muddy it was sturdy. Did hang a weight ( backpack hey:) in the middle, but tried without it as well and it was stable. Very impressed! I was scared first as it is an expensive lens and heavy you have to be sure it’s stable in every situation. This one worked for me!

This is the best Tripod I have ever used. I will admit I have always thought I would not benefit from a higher quality Tripod as an Amature Photographer with a Systems Camera gear (Olympus OM-D EM5 Mark ii). I was wrong and now I will not go back to cheaper lower quality Tripods in the £20 to £30 range that I have been using.The OMD EM 5 ii quite unbalanced when used with the large and heavy Olympus 12 - 40mm 2.8 Pro lense. But with this Tripod I can even shoot in some windy conditions all I need is to just spread the legs to create a very wide base of support. I did that outside in the wind and light rain and I even tried to knock it down, it would not go down.I like that it can be converted into a tall Monopod, really handy. Making adjustments is easy and a leaflet is included for guidance. It does have a Professional look.

Over the recent few months I have been getting increasingly into photography and videography. I have predominantly used my smart phone alongside a gimbal to start and improve the quality of my family videos and photos. Over this period I have also invested in a number of additions such as lights and microphones. Needless to say, on my Christmas list I have asked for an upgrade, a nice big expensive high-quality cameraIn anticipation of getting a new camera I have decided to invest now (whilst I have some spare cash) in accessories that will support me in the New Year. Although I have not yet got my new camera I have been able to make good use of these new items one of which was this quality tripod.The tripod comes well packaged in a fabric case which personally I always think speaks volumes about the quality. The case is slightly padded, to protect the tripod when being stored or transported.The tripod itself folds away very nicely and quite compactly. In order to use the functionalities of the tripod each of the legs foldout 180 degrees and then can extend an exceptionally long amount. I didn’t realise how long these legs would be when I bought this item, the tripod extends higher than me and I am almost 6 foot. When fully set up the tripod is a very sturdy and does not wobble, given that each of the legs can extend to different amounts this is ideal for uneven surfaces. The camera, or Gimble in my case, secures in by screw and there is also a levelling thing (I don’t know the name of them, but it has water in with a bubble to tell you if the camera is level). Finally at the very top is a ball and socket joint which lets you make any final adjustments that you would need to to your photography equipment.The tripod is very, very lightweight. It feels good quality, it looks good quality, and I would go to say, as an amateur, that the tripod feels like a premium product. I think for the price paid it is really good value and I would recommend this to people in a similar position to myself who are looking to buy a tripod.I have added a picture so that potential buyers can see how tall this thing actually is.

It really is that good. Look at all of the positive reviews for this tripod. It works supremely well. It's incredible.So many positives and no real negatives. The one complaint is that it does have a couple of cheaper looking and feeling plastic latches. But besides that it really is a great piece of equipment.This tripod feels the excellent quality the movement of the legs shows real quality of fabrication. Most importantly when you use it, it feels steady.It's a good weight, it doesn't feel like it will blow over, but it's not too heavy to carry.The 2m height adjustment is a bonus if you want to get some variation on angles and getting the full extension is hassle free and simple.K&F do great products. 100% recommended.Note.The tripod comes backed with 2-year warranty and 210-day money back and product replacement guarantee.
