My brother like this tripod very much. He has been playing with it every since he got it. The stability and light weight was the main thing he looked for in a tripod and this match perfectly.

This was purchased to hold my ipad while I play my guitar. It works very well for that. The boom is just long enough to bring the ipad over my lap while I sit on the couch.I haven't used it as a photography or video tripod, but I think this would adapt to any situation or set up you might encounter with a camera. The detachable leg which doubles as a monopod is a huge bonus too.This is a well thought out and engineered product.

Sure, extended to its full height outdoors, this isn't the sturdiest place to mount a camera. If you so much as breathe heavy on it, your camera will shake a bit. But for a commercial photography setting, this tripod has become a valuable part of my real estate kit. I have been using the Manfrotto XPRO series for years, and this tripod raises the functionality bar a whole step with the ability to invert the center column and shoot stable all the way to ground-level and even below if you need to shoot in a hole for some reason. I will still use my heavy aluminum X-PRO's for those windy days or when I'm sporting huge, heavy lenses like the Sigma150-600mm; but indoors and calm-air exteriors I've been shooting almost exclusively with this tripod in the week and a half since it arrived and I really like it. If it fails me at some point, I'll update.If K&F were to make a beefier version of this model, I would try to be the first to order it. Double-thick legs and heavier locks plus the 8-foot reach and to-the-ground shooting would put the Manfrotto line to shame.

I got the best picture I have ever taken using the monopod part of this sturdy tripod. The picture was a long exposure of a waterfall. This tripod is sturdy but weighs quite a bit for me to pack as a rather small woman. One of the many neat features of this tripod is one leg (it's identified) can be taken off and used with the center piece as a monopod. The monopod I'm willing to tote on a hike. The monopod gave me the stability I needed for get the picture without any shake. It was fairly easy to get the pieces back in place when I returned. This tripod does extend really high which is helpful when shooting over fences such as those put up to keep the public safely back. I like the idea of using this tripod better than taking along a ladder which I've seen some photographers use for abandoned buildings and ruins. Although I haven't made full use of the range of positions this tripod permits, I like its availability. I also like how secure my camera feels on the tripod. This comes with a carrying case so when it's not in use, this tripod doesn't take up much room. My rating is 5 stars because of the sturdiness and I love being able to also use this as a monopod.

With its Aluminium construction, you can expect the tripod to last for a while and to be sturdy. I have used the tripod with both an EOS M (Mirrorless) as well as a Canon 70d (DSLR) and I have been quite pleased with the results. The tripod allows for a wide range of movements which helps with aiding in your creativity. It allows you to create some stellar and interesting shots. The head is a ball joint which allows a great deal of freedom as well as it can be attached horizontally. The tripod is rated to 22lbs of load capacity and I am inclined to believe it. Since it is aluminium it is extremely light and easy to carry around. While it can get to about 70" it also is extremely compact. I can expand the tripod via 3 extendable sections of each leg as well as the top piece. The clips that adjust the angle of the legs is sturdy and metal as well while being easy to adjust.I've been using this tripod exclusively for both video and photography and have been quite pleased. I have used it for nature shots as well as sports. It allows me to always to capture the moment. I would recommend this tripod, beginner and professional alike.
