Really pro and very light, easy to carry and sturdy enough

K & F products first caught my eye at the Photography show back in 2019 but I didn't really have a close look at any of their tripods as I was fixated on getting a Three Legged Thing. As it turned out I didn't buy anything and didn't get a tripod for more than a year. With finances tight I decided to take a chance on a K & F tripod figuring at that price it wouldn't be too much of a wrench if it wasn't great. I was very pleasantly surprised when it arrived to find that it was more than I expected for the money - seemingly very well built and nice and light into the bargain with a quality carry bag. There are only two negatives in my mind - why use all that lovely magnesium alloy and then stick on plastic knobs for the ball clamp and adjustment? Surely it wouldn't have increased the cost too much to make these in the same alloy? The ball clamp did click ominously one time I tightened it so I'm hoping it isn't going to be a possible weak point. Also, the tripod leg that unscrews to make up the monopod - the female thread is metal but I believe the male thread is plastic, why? I doubt I'll use this feature much so not too much of a concern. I wouldn't hold out much hope with customer services - I did email them about something and had a very strange reply. I don't think I'd even bother trying to pursue a warranty claim. TLT on the other hand are great to deal with and solved a problem with my Ellie very quickly.It would have been nice to have detachable feet but I guess you can't have everything at this price point? The tripod has a very large height extension so unless you're over 6' 5" you won't have any problems using it. Lastly I really like the orange colour of the alloy components - it matches my Three Legged Thing Ellie L bracket perfectly! I honestly don't think you can go wrong at this price - mine will certainly suit my needs until I can upgrade to a carbon TLT in the future.

The build quality on the whole is pretty good. The ball head tripod plate is less good but still alright. I did, however, struggle to set it into all the ways shown on the listing and I also found the adjustments a bit hit or miss. For the money I guess it's pretty good but it lost the 2 stars for being difficult to adjust.

This tripod is great! It love how it came in it’s travel carrying case and how small it folds up. But when it open it gets to a very good height. The material feel strong but also is light weight. I love how you can unscrew one of the leg and use it as a monopod.This is great when you don’t want to carry around a full blown tripod or the surface is not good for a tripod. It can be adjusted to do macro shots by inverting the head and get low to the ground shots and that’s a bonus.

Great light weight just what I needed

PERFECT FOR SCOPES, CAMERAS & CELL PHONE PHOTOGRAFING.

Really sturdy and punches well above it's price point!Performs just as well as my sons Manfrotto in every way.Don't hesitate!

The stand is great and has alot of cool features. The only issue I'm having is with the mounting screw that attaches the camera to the stand. It's pretty short and I have a hard time getting it mounted, there should be more threads on the screw.

Great tripod for travel. Sturdy, but not heavy. Great looking.

Very sturdy perfect for my A6600 though it’s a little bit of a hassle if you just want to convert the tripod to monopod.
