There was some criticism of the leg locks in other reviews (if I recall), but I can't find fault with them so far. It all seems a lot sturdier than a comparably priced Manfrotto tripod I bought some while ago, even more so with a camera bag hanging from the centre column. With all four leg sections extended, I would recommend a centre weight for all but the lightest cameras, however.It's pretty solid, and can take interchangeable heads: the ball head supplied is OK, if a little bit notchy when panning, but a) this will hopefully improve with use and b) isn't that serious a problem anyway. I managed to pick up a used Manfrotto 3 way head for pocket change, so I've got all the bases covered. I also bought a matching K&F 32cm boom which adds to the usability.If I had a complaint, it's just that other models from the same company have a detachable leg that can be used as a monopod, but I can live with it.

This tripod is well worth the money. It is prone to a bit of shake in the mind when trying to do long exposure shots. But otherwise is quite stable even with my 1200mm lens.

In a studio setting, you'll want a heavy duty Manfrotto etc, but - when you're moving around (especially country to country) - you'll find the Manfrottos etc are too heavy.It becomes a drag.I was looking for a good quality, easy to use, lighter, feature-rich alternative - and this K&F product is it.Easy to set-up and use, plenty of flexibility for shots/video - as well as a sturdy feel for heavier cameras etc.Definitely recommend it.Comes with a GOOD 'sling it over your shoulder' case - which is always useful!

Very good product! Good value. If anything to improve, the 3 legs can be stronger and heavier.

It's a nice lightweight tripod that folds up into a fairly small package. It's good for a travel tripod. Due to its construction materials, I would be careful of dropping it. However, it's a good tradeoff for its weight improvement over my Manfrotto. I wouldn't take my hand off of it if it's windy, but the hook underneath should stead it if you hang a heavy enough bag on it. If you're planning to put an SLR on this that isn't one of those lightweight intro models, I would definitely use a bag weight underneath. Otherwise the setup will be fairly top heavy and a little unstable.The one annoying thing is that the head has a screw in tightener instead of a lever-based clip for the plate on the head. It makes getting a camera on and off a little annoying. It's a small quibble for the price of it ($80 on a Lightning deal, $100 regular) and the feature set you get with it.

Ive had this tripod for about four months now and I absolutely love it. Super durable and decently light weight. Works great for everything I use it for. Biggest plus for me is that the legs are not a spin to unlock instead they are that little flip lock. Makes extending and putting away the tripod so much faster. Also it extends to quite a high height I'm 6,4 and it works fine for straight on head shots if im ever filming myself

I have only used it a couple of times. Smooth and quick set up. I like the various heights and angles that you are able to use. The locks are tight right now, but I feel like they could be sensitive to knocks and bumps or brittle in the colder elements.I am happy with the tripod, if I can get two or three years use, with no broken parts. I will change the ratings too 5☆
