This is the first tripod I've bought in a loooooooong time. Most of my shots these days comes from a smartphone that's being handheld so I was really looking forward to buying this for my XT4. All and all this is an amazing tripod for the price and there isn't a whole lot more you could reasonably ask for it.

Pros
- This thing is feature rich. It has a gear hook, monopod, and the ball head assembly is entirely removable which really helps distribute the weight of the thing when it's hanging off the side of a bag.
- Smooth actuation. Sometimes the locks get in the way of breaking it down but I'm actually listing this as a pro. If you actuate the legs to their furthest position at each stop then try to push them any further the locks will really get in the way. This means that if your leg is going to give way on terrain it's going to stop pretty easy.

- Plenty tall when you extend the center column. I'm 6' and I can bring my camera to eye level easily.

Cons
- This thing is not light. It's on par for other aluminum tripods but if you're really looking to drop your weight look into carbon fiber.

- The monopod leg is SLIGHTLY shorter than the rest of the other legs. This isn't too big of a problem if you take some time to balance the other two legs. It's also not a problem if you're shooting landscape and wildlife and you're already going to have an uneven distribution between the legs.

Missing/Neutral
- No threads to put feet or screws on the bottom of the mount. Not a problem for me but do be advised that if you're shooting on sand or water and you want feet it could be an issue. Not sure why you'd buy this tripod for that purpose at this price point anyway.

For the money it’s a very decent tripod, very stable and feels durable and well made, I have not had a chance to use it extensively and certainly hope its as durable as it seems!

I am very much into river photography in various towns and cities up and down the UK. London, of course, being one of my favourites! The real advantage of this tripod over my more traditional tripod has to be the possibility to pass the camera through the river railings for greater freedom, as opposed to working around the railings. At its maximum height, it’s mostly over the highest point of any obstruction, which it is ideal. Quality and build is really good.

I am very satisfied with the K&F Concept 172 cm carbon tripod. It convinces in all its aspects. Even the travel bag is a very high quality and durable material. The fabric can even be cleaned with a damp cloth to remove dirt.
The tripod itself is ultra-compact and super lightweight. The tripod legs fold up completely so they reduce to a minimum overall length for storage and transport.
On the other hand, the telescopic elements can be extended to an incredible height of over 1.70 m.
The stand is very stable and can be adjusted accordingly on all three legs. The orientation of the tripod in the scales can be easily seen via an integrated display.
The ball joint proves to be extremely practical and is easily adjustable and stable in place.
The quick release plates are excellent. Whether for a camera or a high-quality smartphone. The tripod is well suited to both and ready to use in no time.
The tripod is excellent in price and performance and worth every penny.

very good quality and so light

I love this tripod and it's versatility. However, with all of it's comforts it makes it a bit difficult to take down and setup elsewhere. Overall it is a great purchase for me.

This product is extremely well made, constructed from carbon fibre, it is very lightweight and compact for its performance. The tripod feels sturdy when setup and is easy to use and adjust. The spirit bubble on the ball head makes setup even simpler. The kit includes the tripod and ball head, carry case and small monopod adapter plus screw piece. The case feels well made and durable. It fits the tripod and included accessories perfectly and makes for easy transporting with the included shoulder strap. The removable monopod leg is easy to use and setup; the ball head can be attached to it or setup as a standard screw thread to attach your camera to. My only criticism which does not affect my rating for this review, is that the instructions could include a little more explanation to accompany the illustrations, as it wasn’t completely clear on how to reassemble the tripod after using the monopod. Top tip: the centre post is inserted from the underside of the tripod. Overall an excellent product and very good value for money. It can easily support most photographers setups in various aspects to help you get the perfect shot. I would definitely recommend this product.

Really very practical I hope it will stay solid over time but in any case I really like it there are many positions and possible uses

A sturdy and feature rich tripod that is tall enough to reach my eye level. This tripod is much lighter than my ancient entry level mancotta, has nice features, and comes with a good case. All of that at a price that is hard to believe.

I've been into photography for over 45 years and this tripod is so ,ight, useful and quickly adjusted I wish I had one a long time ago. One of the legs detaches and becomes a mono-pod. Easily adjustable and light the only thing left out is a hook at the bottom center pole to be able to hang your bag from it to add more stability when doing long exposures or in windy conditions. I intend to see whatever else they sell and see if I can replace any other equipment I have for my photography. Photo was taken with tripod!
