Good quality product
Most travel tripods are a little on the short side and my current Sirui tripod is no exception with a working height of 120cm (or 145cm with centre column extended). After some research, I was pleased to find the K&F TC2534 had a non-extended working height of 142cm. This would be an ideal height, especially as the centre column is removable ( I dislike extendable centre columns). I had purchased a K&F TC2335 some months previously, but was underwhelmed by the quality of construction, so returned it. On opening the box of the TC2534, I was immediately impressed. It is a very well made quality product and sufficiently sturdy with the legs extended fully. The adjustment catches on the legs work well and feel positive as do the friction joints on the legs. I was also pleased to discover that the feet can be unscrewed, so I've ordered some spikes for use on muddy surfaces. The ball head is quite substantial and has a smooth action, although I've replaced the supplied clamp with a quick release clamp as a personal preference. The supplied bag is quite roomy, so I don't have to fight to zip it up. There's also room to keep some accessories (e.g panning clamp & nodal slide) inside the bag. All in all, a lot of thought has gone into the design of this tripod and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. However, I do have one suggestion for improvement. It would have been nice to have a spirit level on the legs so the tripod legs can be levelled for taking panoramics.
