SKU: KF09.077V2
I am a professional architecture and interior photographer and also do videography. Was looking for a tripod that is light yet stable and sturdy (since my equipment can be heavy i.e. tilt shift/telezoom lenses, and expensive). This K&F tripod ticked all the boxes and the price point is perfect.
This tripod has an excellent and smooth quick release system which is important for me especially when moving from location to location during the critical lighting window for outdoor shots.
The tripod's height is impressive and it can be extended with an option to attach additional weight at the centre of gravity point to make it even more secure.
The tripod's colour is vibrant and the finishing is smooth.
I personally prefer twist locks for the tripod legs, although this is definitely a matter of personal preference. The legs can also be extended outwards using the quick release clip to have an even lower height. This may be particularly helpful when trying to get a lower vantage point for artistic reasons, such as when focussing on the foreground.
Would definitely reccomend as a studio or outdoor tripod or even for events and travel! Carbon fiber tripods are ideal for travelling.

I declare that I was initially very skeptical about the characteristics of this object, but as soon as I was able to collect it, I immediately realized that it was a quality product. Let's start with the weight, a feature that many underestimate but that offers great stability, just like in this case. 1.5 kg of aluminum which will help you shoot much sharper. Absolutely practical to transport thanks to the bag in which it is contained and above all thanks to its small size: 40 cm when closed which allowed me to store it safely in hand luggage. At its maximum extension it measures 150cm and thanks to the excellent leg locking systems it will be extremely stable. The ball joint is very smooth and the camera can be rotated very easily. The well-designed screw mount, structured to firmly hold the camera on the tripod. Ability to take wonderful panoramic photos thanks to a small wheel which, if unscrewed, allows you to slowly and absolutely steadily rotate the camera. A small highlight of this tripod is the possibility, thanks to an supplied Allen key, to unscrew a tripod leg to use it as a monopod. I strongly recommend buying this product which has only points in favor, after 2 months of use I have not yet found any fault and I am really satisfied! allows you to slowly and absolutely steadily rotate the camera.

I bought this tripod because my old one was really not compact enough and was a bit “chip”. With the one if no problem, it even fits in a backpack with its cover. It has a 360 head which is perfect and very practical! It is stable and very solid I highly recommend it! I put some photo of the tripod and a shot that I made thanks to him.

This is a competitive market, and there are some very expensive carbon lightweights out there, but I think value for the money is key here. It's a great design, a no-brainer for travel. It's stable, and with the hook under for hanging a bag or weight, it really locks it down. Overall it's a great design.

It's my 2nd tripod the first summer very light and I used it for my bridge I switched to a reflex with a bigger zoom and I decided to take a tripod more suitable for the weight of my camera but I didn't want to too expensive. I have found this model it is really very good I take it with me every time I want to take photos of landscapes or other it is robust and well made, professional and in addition it turns into a monopod if there is no space in addition with the ball joint I can put my camera in different positions for more creative shots. Very happy with this purchase

My wife loves this tripod. I bought it for her because she wanted to carry a nice tripod on her camera backpack. This tripod is lightweight, but it can handle heavy cameras and long lenses pretty well.

Does the job well, the feet look fragile with the 150,600 tamron g2, I'm not trying to deploy the last ones with 3kg5. We will see in time

For the price this is a really great tripod. It may not be the lightest or sturdiest but it's definitely not hundreds of dollars more to get that slight difference. The features it includes does put it in the same category as those costing hundreds more. I've included a picture of the manual that came with since a few people said they didn't get one. I didn't really find a need for it as it's very simple to use and figure out. Overall very pleased with the tripod so far.

This is a very nice travel tripod. I always get backpacks with loops to hold a small tripod, but all the small tripods I've had were flimsy, and not worth hauling around. All of my good tripods are too big for that purpose. This one now fills that void.
It's very strong. When extending the legs for the first time, I did have to yank it a bit to get them out, but after I freed them they slid smoothly.
They rotate all the way around and the maximum angle locks in with a button.
The top arm extends up with 2 segments, and each leg has 5 segments. This is a great tripod to carry around, but if you need to deploy it quickly, it might frustrate you. It takes a good minute to fully deploy if you know what you're doing.
It comes with a ball head and a quick release plate. The ball head glides smoothly, and has a compass and spirit level attached to the top to ensure you have perfect framing. The ball head also can rotate with what feels like a fluid head swivel on the bottom. Simple pans are easy, but you have to twist the camera instead of holding a handle. The quick release plate locks down with a thumb screw. You can loosen the screw and slide it back and forth a small amount, but it hits a stop without letting your camera slide off and fall to the ground. It's a fairly small quick release plate, but it's fairly strong.
It has a nice steel hook on the bottom that you can attach a sand bag to, for if you plan on shooting in the wind.
Overall this is a great kit that comes with the tripod, a ball head, and a quick release plate. It has everything you need besides the camera.
Highly recommended.
