I was expecting this to be solid and I was not disappointed. Though there is a couple of things I noticed from the first inspection which I hope will not become an issue when shooting. When the legs are fully extended there is a little bit of play from the bottom legs which may end up bending the bottom legs over time (something to watch out for). This should not be an issue as I will be placing a mark 4" up from full extension of the bottom legs and extending to here. If you are buying for the full 72" just be aware that when at its max it may be susceptible to a bend or damage. There is a 3.75" extension bracket that comes with so probably best to use this when max height is required!The mono leg that separates from the tripod could become an issue as you must remove the ball head completely and fix it on the mono. If you are hard pressed for timing this will be an issue, a spare ball head might be worth getting if this is the case.The ball head is really good to work with though another thing I will say is the horizontal extension has a little bit of a wobble in it. When everything is locked up and vertical it is solid! A really excellent tripod overall. Would highly recommend. Taken from experience: a cheap tripod will disappoint.... This is nearly double that of the cheaper brands but it will keep its value for sure!Edit: Missing the shoulder strap off the carry bag. Emailed support who very promptly replied and sent the strap out at no extra charge. Best customer service I have had in a long time, no messing about.

This is my first "expensive" tripod - I have historically been using cheaper alternatives. I now see where I have been going wrong. This tripod, while not being wildly expensive, is far more superior to the ones I've used before - and it shows. The build quality is exceptional; everything just works perfectly and it's rock solid. That's not to mention it's versatility! Brilliant!

Very good quality

An amazing tripod with lots of angles possible.Very easy to put up on a hurry and goes very high and full height and still stable.The extension of the top allows the top to swing 360° with ease.Very sturdy bit of kit and isn’t heavy at all so can be carried around.Easily packed up when I’m a hurry also.

I purchased this tripod to pair up with my Sony A7 III in May 2019, and I have been able to test it thoroughly.It comes in a carrying case which is useful to store the tripod in and put it in your check-in luggage. I have taken a lot of long exposures with this tripod and haven't faced any issues with camera shake.I wanted a tripod which wouldn't break the bank yet had different features which could come in handy in the future. For instance one of the legs can screw off to become a mono-pod, and the centre column can be turned horizontally and the camera can be faced down to take some flat lay shots.Earlier this year I purchased a few items all together from K&F just before my trip to the Middle East, this included the tripod, some filters and step up/down rings. I had never used K&F before this purchase but decided to go for it. To be honest I couldn't be more happier. They are a solid company and have some great products.

Really good quality of product and material, easy to use, light and handy, intuitive, so many options and functions!It is truly worth it.Especially love premium quality finishing orange touches.

had this tripod with ball head for 3 month now, used in every conceivable situation, treated it rough wandering of it would stand up to usage, eg in the sea, a river, steep banks and very windy conditions in the outer Hebrides, took everything I could throw at it whilst keeping my kit safe, still and secure. ball head is an ease to use... well done K&F superb quality items for a very very good price.. would not hesitate to recommend K&F. as said I think they are quality, ive also bought their quick release plates, their ND filters and no issues, everything is quality

Brilliant piece of kit. Well made, flexible and great value for money.

Originally recieved it worth a broken part, contacted customer service and they were simply fantastic.Rpepacment part is on it's way, product seems sturdy and well built, and very intelligently engineered!
