A very versatile tripod in the value range, it has decent but not perfect stability in all positions. It could use an additional level when put in the horizontal arm position but does have a bubble level in the traditional standing position. It feels light weight and durable enough for its price range making it a above average value. Folds nicely into a compact size and comes with a great storage soft pack bag. It’s worth picking up at this price point.

I was waiting for this product....this product is amazing...I love this...color combination...wow

K&F comes out of NOWHERE for the great quality products! I have enjoyed their ND filters, and now this tripod - I own several that are twice the price that don't feel or look as nice as this one.It's TALL - fully extended, it's at 75"...since I'm over 6'3" tall, this is a good thing!The ball head is very fluid and easily adjustable - this is important to me due to real estate photography needing lots of adjustments!Not the LIGHTEST tripod, but this is a good thing too - it feels very solid, but light enough that I won't hate lugging it around all day!Hook for a sandbag, vertical shooting configuration, you can even remove a leg to use as a monopod - awesome!

This is one of the strongest tripods that I've ever used. It is fully balanced and able to do 360 shifting. It holds a camera very well. The camera is very stable and does not move. I was able to use it with my camera and then quick release to use hand hold. The tripod has a side extension that allows for top-focus shooting. I love using this for shoots. It is definitely recommended for any photographer looking for a tripod.

This is a super nice tripod and probably way nice than I ever needed. If you’re into video work and pretty advanced in photograph then I highly recommend this. Very smooth transitions and lots of angles and movement. I’m very impressed. Definitely recommend this!

This tripod is fantastic for on the go shooting, I throw my iPhone for b roll on it and even mount a DSLR on it for other shots when I need. This is lightweight and versatile.

I am a former television director and have enjoyed astrophotography for several decades. I've been using a Bogen Manfrotto 3051 professional tripod with a 3063 head. I've used many professional tripods in my career.I ordered this K&F Concept 72 Inch Camera Tripod as my 3051 is quite heavy to pack into remote locations to do my astrophotography. This smaller and lighter tripod wants very much to be perfect but stops just a few very minor features short. That said, it does have several features not found in my 3051 that I'm liking very much. With that in mind, here are my pros and cons:PROS:• It is Lightweight. I don't mind attaching this tripod to my backpack and hiking it into location. This is one of the major selling points for me.• A very compact yet sturdy design (seem my comparison photo of this tripod next to my 3051).• Easy deployment of the multi-angle legs makes short work of getting set up.• Mostly solid aluminum construction (where it counts).• Comes with a very nice and durable carrying bag with strap. This will keep dust, dirt, and a few raindrops from getting into the tripod.• It is a solid platform for shooting astrophotography, which requires that there be no instability. I usually don't extend the third, smallest section of the legs when shooting the night sky.• It is both a monopod and tripod in one. This is a very desirable feature for me. I have a Bogen Manfrotto monopod too but with this tripod, I don't have to drag both around.• The center column can be added to the monopod to extend the height.• The center column can be inverted for doing macro photography.• The ball lock knob, when loosened, allows the center column to telescope to twice its original length. This allows you to get the camera well overhead.• It allows for landscape and portrait orientation when shooting.• The ball head makes for very quick changes in orientation. While I don't do many many orientation changes, I think it would be ideal for a wedding or landscape photographer.• The ball head has a separate knob to lock the head in the panning axis.• The ball head has a single cutout that allows you to position the camera 90° from horizontal.• The pan adjustment is calibrated in degrees. This is especially nice for shooting astrophotography because I often orient by degrees from the North. The degree tick marks properly orient along the horizon plane (45° = East, 315° = West). I always set up with the zero tick facing geographic North.• The central column rotates 360 degrees and provides a stable plane for taking panoramic shots. It also doubles as a handlebar.• It has a counter-weight hook - a feature usually found only in high-end tripods.• Most adjustment and lock knobs are metal where it is needed.• Articulation of the ball head and other moving parts of the tripod is smooth.• It supports the weight of my camera, which has a heavy battery pack.• The camera plate adjusts forward and backward to balance the camera.• The orange and black color scheme looks professional.CONS:• The camera plate needs to be a bit larger and provide a better tightening arrangement.• The leg flip locks are plastic. I see this as a potential failure point for the tripod. I hope the manufacturer sells replacements in case I drop the tripod on a rock and bust a flip lock.• The monopod lacks a quick vertical adjustment trigger. In some shooting scenarios, I would want one.• The camera plate needs a lock pin for use with video cameras to avoid loosening of the plate after numerous pans.Parting thoughts... I enjoy using this tripod and will be using it for most of my astrophotography (and other photography) in the future. It is lightweight, sturdy, and solid. The cons weren't such detractors that would cause me to take any stars off of my final five-star rating. If you want a very nice prosumer tripod, don't hesitate to buy this one.

I have been shooting for about 12 years now, and after going thru some really bad tripods, I had to end up with a $600 Manfrotto Carbon fiber which I LOVE.This tripod for its price is VERY close to a high end one. Super light, quite as close as my Carbon Fiber manfrotto, very smooth movement on the head, easy to set up, open, and close. It closes down so tiny, than it is amazing fro traveling.The option of having one of the legs a a monopod is magnificent, you have two in one.I feel the legs could be a little weak in my opinion, but understand they are made from aluminum and this is a tripod under $200 which could deliver as much as any other tripod from a good brand on the $400give or take.I feel I am going to give a little rest to my Manfrotto to avoid over use, and take this on traveling, if something happens, I am not losing $600.

I got this Tripp’s so I could have more stability while taking pictures with my DSLR.This tripod is absolutely amazing and 100% worth the money. This tripod works fantastically as a tripod and mono pod. The versatility is not matched by any other tripod in my opinion.It is very light weight and comes with a carrying case so you don’t have just carry the tripod around by itself. It folds up nice and small to save space. It’s light weight compared to other tripods which is a big plus. But I’m my opinion the biggest and best feature is the leveling bubble. It really makes stabilizing super simple.I definitely recommend this tripod/monopod combo. It makes using your camera a lot less stressful and in my opinion more fun k owing that the chances of an error are mitigated just that much more. Great product!! Very high quality.

So to preface this, I have a Dolica Proline tripod (https://www.amazon.com/Dolica-GX600B200-Proline-60-Inch-Aluminum/dp/B004XC3GWU) that I use regularly and love. Thus, I'm comparing this against a relatively high end and versatile tripod, but at twice the price, I'm going to expect more from this one!That said, rather than reiterating all the features that the listing already shows this tripod can do, I'll just list the few things that I DON"T like about this tripod, that really have me waffling between a 4 and 5 star review. I'm sitting at 4.5 stars, but don't yet know what it will be when I hit Submit here! So, in more-or-less decreasing order of severity:The main thing could really be the killer here. As beefy as the rest of this tripod is, the leg lock tabs feel like really weak plastic, and the way they lie, I'm really worried that they're quite likely to catch on something and get broken off. This is what's really pushing me towards removing a star.I'm disappointed that the removable camera shoe doesn't have a safety lock (that's a spring loaded pin that keeps the shoe from falling out of the saddle when you loosen it). Even cheap tripods I've had included for "free" with a camera kit have come with a safety lock shoe. That seems like a pretty major oversight for such a feature rich tripod. (Of course even better would be a universal shoe that would swap with my Proline!)The way the tripod folds up for storage is neat, but it also makes for a HUGE cross section of the tripod case. I don't really know that they could have made the profile any narrower for the overall size of the elements here, but it makes it several times the size of my Proline case. Now there's a cost for the versatility, but I'm going to have to really WANT to have all of those features to be dragging this around with me. My fear is it will spend most of its time gathering dust in the closet because it's just so darn big. Weight's not insignificant either, but that's to be expected.The legs are incredibly stiff. Opening the tripod the first time I kept looking for how to release the ratcheting leg locks that MUST have been holding it closed. Well, no, it's just REALLY stiff. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but not knowing it was just stiff, I was afraid something would break. I don't know if it will loosen up or not, but the other side of the stiffness is that you may be assuming a leg is locked in the ratchet only to discover it's just the friction of the legs. That could be bad.At any rate, beyond all that stuff, which for some may be nitpicking, but when you rely on your tripod, could be a big issue, the tripod looks like a nice solid well built unit with some really neat features. Some of the nested mechanisms are pretty ingenious, although I do hope they're up to the environmental conditions they'll be exposed to. If a bit of dust or sand could potentially foul up just one part, that whole complicated assembly could be useless. Hopefully I'll find a use for all those features!
