I purchased it 1 year ago. I am traveling photographer and were using it once a month and after 1 year of such usage the ball head horizontal rotation fixating screw just fell off and i don't know how to put it in place
I was very satisfied with this tripod but now i am disappointed.
*** UPDATE ***
I have been contacted by K&F promptly after my review and received replacement to the damaged Tipod! So i have decided to update review and change rating to 5 stars. Great support and customer service!

I bought this as a secondary tripod because I wanted something lighter and easier to set up than my old Manfrotto tripod. This tripod is definitely lighter and I love that it comes with a quality carrying case as well. Another bonus is that this also comes with a ball head that is compatible with the Arca Swiss mounts which is great for run and gun shoots when you have to move your camera around. The locking mechanisms on the legs are self-explanatory and simple to adjust. I like that it has a hook at the center column for you to hang your camera bag or any weight there to hold the tripod down in windy conditions. The first shoot I took this on was an extremely windy sports shoots and all the other photographers' tripods were falling over from the wind but I was able to widen my base and it held up perfectly. Overall, I would recommend this tripod to beginners, especially those who are invested in the Arca Swiss system. By adding these plates to all my cameras, it makes my life so much easier when moving my camera around in shoots.

I bought this tripod for my Sony nx80 so I could carry it on my hunting trips, and I'm very happy with it.

I'm able to zoom my cameras to Max and get excellent steady footage. One feature that really helps is to be able to expand the legs and adapt it to any terrain and maintain the perfect level.

I have mention that I switched the head to a fluid head to be able to pan a lot easier.

Hope this helps and good luck!?

So far I have used this tripod for landscape photography and the photos came really nice. Tripod is of light weight with lots of high-end features but sturdy and extremely easy to use. It also comes with a portable carrying bag to carry around without any issues. I felt it's easy to take panoramic photos with its smooth rotation and adjustments. It has a small clamp on all 3 levers to hold the camera steady even at uneven surface and at maximum height.

I have not used the inverted center axis as I'm bit skeptical whether the camera might fall off or the 360 degree ball-head might broke off or come loose, will try that in summer in a safe place. Apart from photography, I'm also using this tripod to hold my mini-projector at home and it sustains well, thanks to pull out type lock however you can't use tablets or phones without an appropriate adapter. This comes with one detachable mounting plate and i use the same for both my camera and mini-projector.

The quality seems very good but time will tell if it'll hold up.
Legs are aluminum and the rest is plastic, though not the cheap kind. For this price I wish the top mount would be metal.

WOW.

So my image is showing you how easy it was to unpack.

open the box from Amazon and then you have this nice square rectangle box.
Open the k&f concept tripod box and out pops a already pre-packed travel tote with the tripod inside. When you unzip that case out pops the tripod which is wrapped in one single piece of plastic.

There's only one piece of trash, ONE, other than the box, which is ludicrous. The $14 tripod I bought on here years ago had paper on each piece. Piles of trash, and so was that tripod. LOL.

Back to THIS tripod. You can see in my photo that the unit itself is tall. I am 6'4 and this made my jaw drop when I extended the legs all the way. It's very sturdy when at Max height.

Anyways, this was a great purchase and using it in real life has been a delight so far.

I bought this tripod two years ago to take with me on some international research. For three months I traveled throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, and this tripod held up every step of the way. I primarily used this tripod for filming and light photography. Rig weight was around 4 lbs. I am leaving to continue my research soon, and this tripod will be in my carry-on bag yet again. I have broken this review down by section.

PORTABILITY: 4/5
Pros
This tripod folds up tight enough to easily fit inside most camera backpack tripod slings, and it easily fits within most carry-on bags (it's seen its fair share of airports with no problems). The tripod feels professional but is discreet enough to give some peace of mind while travelling. In most cases, I felt comfortable walking through the streets of a foreign country with this thing hanging off my backpack. Kinda gives off that "super devoted tourist" vibe rather than "Oh he looks professional does he have a license to film here?" vibe.

Cons:
This tripod is quite heavy. Weighing in at almost 2.5 lbs, I definitely noticed the tripod's weight after a long day of filming / shooting. It's so beefy that it ended up tearing my cheap backpack's tripod sling toward the end of my 3 month trip. The weight did help the tripod perform better in high wind conditions, though, and of course the weight contributes to the overall durability of the tripod, which is very high.

VERSATILITY: 5/5
Few cons here. Thanks to the independently locking leg system, which is achieved via a ratcheting mechanism that locks the legs at various angles, the tripod can help you stabilize your rig on almost any surface. From the mountains of Japan to the uneven limestone streets of Jerusalem, this tripod kept me stable. The adjustable center post is helpful in getting low shots. The included bubble level and ball-joint head really help with this.

DESIGN: 4/5
This tripod definitely feels meaty, sometimes to a fault. Nevertheless, while the rest of the tripod feels incredibly solid, the spring-loaded levers that lock the legs into place feel a bit fragile by comparison. This said, mine are still holding up after two years of off and on use, so perhaps the fragility is just cosmetic.

BEST USE:
I used this tripod mostly for filming with light photography applications. The ball-joint head was great for setting up shots quickly. This on-the-fly readiness definitely helped me snag some once-in-a-lifetime shots. At the same time, ball joint heads are not the best when it comes to pan and tilt shots that are common in filmmaking. I found that the consistent resistance offered by the head actually helped with pan shots, and I achieved some pretty smooth pans with this unexpected feature. Tilt shots were a nightmare, though.

Luckily, the ball head can be screwed off and replaced by a "fluid head" of your choice, if filming is your goal.

The tripod is stable enough to support long exposure photography in low wind conditions. I was able to do some VERY minor astrophotography with this tripod in calm conditions.

VERDICT - A Fantastic Travel Tripod, and Not Just "For the Price"
This is a great travel-oriented tripod whose durability, versatility, and adaptable design (removable ball joint head) offset the cons of its hefty weight and minor design gripes. If you need a durable, portable tripod capable of multidisciplinary shooting, look no further.

I use this Tripod whenever I have the chance to record. It is lightweight and very easy to use. The mount makes putting the camera on easier. As of right now, I'm working on a film project. This tripod help allows me to use different angle wit using the panorama Ball. Also, it easy and quick to extend the legs out. My old tripod wouldn't allow these things to happen. Thank you K&F for this tri-pod.

This is exactly what I was looking for. It did a great job stabilizing my telephoto lens. I was able to take great photos from land and on boats. Lots of options to pivot, tilt or pan. :) It's slightly heaver than I wish it was for backpacking.

This is by far the best tripod I own, and let me tell you I own quite a few. It is really light and has a very durable design that helps keep your camera in balance even during strong winds. Such an easy tripod to travel with since its easy to adjust and extremely foldable. It has really strong joints and it doesn’t shake. One simple thing I love about it is the little tip that helps you screw the adapter in your camera. The best I’ve seen. Really can’t fault this tripod and couldn’t recommend it enough.
