.. Every now and then we say that it lacks stability.
It is not the worst ever tried, but a reflex with a nice heavy lens let's say it does not hold it perfectly, especially if you use it vertically.
Meh ..

Great bit of kit!
Sturdy, well built, and stable. Perfect if you are tall, and one leg also converts into a monopod.
Good solid ballhead, with spirit level, and Arca Swiss quick release plate, and conveniently, also fits smallrig camera frames and plates.
Strongly made with firm twist lock legs, this tripod should last a lifetime.

This product was actually really amazing. Considering the cost, which honestly I was worried about at first, it is as good as I could have imagined.
As soon as I got it, I popped my D810 (with battery grip and lens) on this tripod (that's some serious weight)! The tripod held out and I was able to take a number of very nice long exposure shots!

Despite its enormous size, the tripod is very light and easy to transport when it is extended. Folded up in the supplied bag, it is also ideal for transport.
Got the tripod fully open today. I was able to get under the hinges with my shoulder without any problems. In the practical test, I used it for lighting and was amazed at how easy it was to adjust and move everything.
5 stars are not enough, 10 is more appropriate in my opinion

Returned the 67" version and got this because that was too small, unstable with thin legs.
This build quality seems better too. The head locks off tighter and the tansverse arm extends out quite far (great for product photography). I had a Canon 6D with an L lens on the end of it hanging at full extension with nothing weighting the tripod down and was amazed it held the weight without toppling over. If you are comparing this to a Manfrotto, just note that this has the arcaswiss plate, which the Manfrotto doesn't. And is also half the price.
I am only marking this down because the price. When you go to K&F official site, you can get quite a discount when you first visit, however Trust Pilot reveals it comes from China and customer service is non-existent.

My brother like this tripod very much. He has been playing with it every since he got it. The stability and light weight was the main thing he looked for in a tripod and this match perfectly.

I really like the SA254T1 from K&F Concept in terms of its very good quality/price ratio. The tripod gives a very high quality impression in all aspects. From the mounting clips on the tripod legs to the padded feet. Details such as the integrated spirit level for alignment complete the very good overall picture. However, the biggest added value for me comes from the versatility of the tripod. Almost all common angle positions and heights can be implemented using the flexible configuration variants. And all with a surprisingly low weight of the entire construction. Absolute top quality.

I've been looking for a tripod to supersede my Zomie Q666. It did me well but it was too small, to shakey, i couldn't get low enough for macro, i couldn't get high enough for studio work and my landscapes in water were not steady enough.
This Tripod answered all those problems in one go. I shoot Olympus and the plate is a little large for the camera but it fits snug if you tighten it well. Otherwise its done well in water perfect when you want to get close to the water level (see photo) , i've shot low down macro and been able to position it well low for shooting horses from under the fence.
Nice build quality, twist grip telescopic legs tighten well without too much effort. Definitely worth the money when compared to the competition.
Sure it's heavier than the smaller Q666 but it's not too heavy you cant carry it on your backpack. It comes in a really solid carry case of its own you can wear over your shoulder if you don't have a bag already. Very Impressed overall.
