Great as air-travel tripod for birding scope
Bought this as TRAVEL TRIPOD FOR BIRDING (i.e. for scope): works well. [Review of the 190cm/75'' K&F Concept Lightweight Tripod, which comes with pan head.] With head detached, it fits comfortably into a 50cm cabin bag. I'm 5'8" (173cm): tripod fully extended brings scope (straight eyepiece) to my standing eye-height: taller people would have to use some centre column. I'm using it with an old Nikon Fieldscope weighing 1.3kg; I can attach my big scope weighing 2kg, but that'd be pushing my luck I think. It's a fairly cheap tripod, obviously, but quality seems okay. Tested in windless conditions on stable surface, works fine even at 45x magnification. In short, great for what I need, and pain-free price. Also works for birding by bike: tripod and the small scope fit comfortably into a backpack. Caveat: no safety mechanism on quick-release-plate lever, so I'd be wary of carrying scope attached to tripod.
