At this price point I was unsure of the quality of the tripod but I can say that the K&H concept is an amazing tripod for photography.Here are my pros and cons for this piece of equipment:Pros:- Snap locking legs are the way to go; don't waste your time with twist-to-lock legs. I have been able to set up and take a full panorama picture with my K&F Concept before some friends with twist locking leg tripods have been able to set up and pull off a single shot. It's easy and fast to make any minor adjustments and never slips once tightened.- Rock solid even in winds. Although weight may seem like an initial con, the fact is that this tripod is light enough to carry with you yet heavy enough to sustain moderate to somewhat heavy winds for long exposures. If in extreme heavy winds the tripod includes a mounting hook for sandbags or any weight (including hanging your camera bag).- Fits perfectly with my (also purchased) Peak Design Everyday Messenger Bag. https://www.peakdesign.com/everyday-messenger The padded leg of the tripod acts as extra protection for my gear when I slide the tripod into my camera bag. This extra detail has led me to bring this tripod with me more than any other tripod.- The amazing ball head. With the built-in level the K&F Concept ball head is worth the price of admission. It is light yet extremely durable and can handle some pretty intense weight (Nikon d500 with battery pack and 18-35mm in portrait mode)Cons:- Unless mounted with the leveling head facing away from the lens the ball head has some trouble reaching full portrait orientation without changing the heights of the legs. However, the snap locking legs make those adjustments easy to make.Customer Service:Immediate and thorough.Conclusion:At this price point the K&F Concept is the tripod to go for. It’s value is amazing and the support team is fast and reliable. I can’t recommend this enough for newcomers or professionals looking to add a versatile yet affordable piece of kit to their collection. Well done K&H!
