This tripod is surprisingly feature-rich for how affordable it is. K&F is a solid brand and their quality is typically pretty reliable, this thing is no exception. For a relatively cheap travel tripod it's got some cool features, and some limitations.To start, it's made from very lightweight materials. The entire thing is made of plastic, the only metal components being the legs and a few screws holding the whole thing together. This isn't a good or bad thing necessarily, it won't weigh you down much on a hike or take up too much room in the trunk, but its mostly plastic construction does make me concerned for its longevity. The leg locks and quick release plate make me particularly nervous. I don't mind plastic components but I have a hard time trusting elements that will receive so much wear being plastic.On the plus side, it has surprisingly nice features that really elevate it (pun intended). It gets very tall for such a compact tripod! It advertises 75" but I measured it up to 78" with everything fully extended. It also comes with a counterweight hook to attach your bag to, keeping your camera nice and steady. The detachable monopod is a cool feature, too and really gives this thing an edge over other affordable tripods for people using a mirrorless camera or gopro/DJI Osmo for vlogging on the go. The ballhead is plastic but feels secure and the swivel control on the head has a nice resistant smoothness to it. It even has a bubble level which is a feature I've seen other cheaper tripods skip. Very nice.Aside from the concerning (if understandable, given the cost) plastic build, the only thing I felt detracted from this thing was its lack of a tilt handle. I get that this is a basic ballhead tripod meant primarily for photography, not video, but the monopod function really only makes sense for video and it would be the full package if it included even a small arm for better composition control. Ultimately this is a small complaint about an otherwise pretty excellent little travel tripod. Definitely check it out if you need a compact tripod on the go.
