I've had a few different tripods over the years at different price points but this is by far the best!Being a wedding and lifestyle photographer I use it in so many different settings and it doesn't fail! Each leg is individually adjustable meaning no matter the terrain you can make it level and sturdy.I love that all the connectors move so smoothly and the whole kit is incredibly robust and yet very lightweight. It all folds up neatly into the one bag/case that I've shown in the photos.The top arm can extend to a 90 degree angle which is brilliant for taking photos of flat lays etc without the legs of the tripod being in shot.Another little extra that I like is a small spirit level on the top connector just so you can make sure everything is level before you attach your camera.The tripod has a wieght hook underneath for added sturdiness in extreme conditions and one of the legs also detaches to become a monopod!Overall this tripod is an excellent bit of kit and I have been very impressed with every aspect of it especially at under £100!So if you're looking for a reliable and versatile tripod this is the one for you!

K&F concept aluminium tripod with 180 degree tiltover camera head
Summery: Lightweight, sturdy, the tiltover head gives a special feature I wanted.
I own quite a few tripods and camera mounts because I have so many cameras so this one joins my collection for a special reason which I will explain in a short while.
The model is KF-TM2515T
It has 4 part telescopic legs that extend to a give a maximum tripod height of 6o inches, the legs can be used in 3 different angle positions which is adjusted using the red button at the top of each leg, there is no central connector so each leg angle can be set individually.
The centre column is in 2 parts, the outer part can be height adjusted while the second section can not only be extended vertically but it can also be tilted over 180 degrees, it was this feature that made me decide to add this to my collection, more on that in a while.
As with a lot of tripods you can invert the centre column to allow low level and macro shooting, but the tillable section adds a little extension to give a different view than one bound to the centre, you can even make an ad-hoc slider shot by slowly moving the bar along the centre column.
The tripod head is a standard 3/8 thread panning ball-head type that are found on many of my tripods, I like ball-heads for my smaller cameras. It has an Arca-Swiss type quick release clamp with a bubble for camera levelling.
The tripod is lightweight, strong, it folds down pretty small and comes with a strong looking zipped case with straps so for general purpose use it is great, with the added tilt feature to give some extra creative assistance.
Now the reason I bought this particular tripod…..I need to be able to mount 2 cameras on one tripod properly, and this tripod helps me do just that with a little bit of extra kit.
The end of the centre bar has a small plastic cap screwed into it, when taken away a 3/8 thread is revealed, most of my tripod centre column have this, it is usually there to hold the sandbag hook screw. So by using a short 3/8 inch threaded bar and an extra ball-head I can make a double tripod. Fantastic and very useful to save space when shooting.
One leg can also be removed and used with the centre column as a monopod but I already have monopods so I will not be using that feature with this tripod.

Wow! That should say it all. This is the best tripod I have ever owned. My Manfrotto is going on Gumtree. Sorry Manny. I've also got a no name pan and tilt that doesn't even come close. I am 100 percent happy with it. The articulated boom is something I never thought I would need, now I don't know how I managed without it. A great buy at an unbelievable price.

My first experience with this type of tripod, and I am not disappointed. Feels as good as other bigger brands which cost much more. Thoroughly recommend it.

This is a hell good quality piece of equipment. Even though I didnt quite figure out how to use it like "T" shape yet, it is even quite sturdy and useful for everyday use. Comes with carrying bag, quite small when folded and not very heavy. Arrived next day and made me so happy

Very impressed with this product, needed a new tripod for ages, it’s light weight, but stable, with quite a few different set ups, making it a very versatile product, not had chance to use it out in the field, though have used it around home, the ball heads are very smooth and feels good when panning. I would highly recommend this tripod, the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because one of the leg locking mechanism is very fiddly, need two hands to release it.
