K&F CONCEPT 90”/230cm Overhead Camera Tripod, Horizontal Shooting Video Tripods with Fluid Head Heavy Duty, Detachable Monopod, for Indoor and Outdoor Use T254A7+FH-03

Outstanding Tripod!!
I have had this for almost 3 years now, and have taken it on many trips, to Maui, Canada and all over the U.S. west coast. I use frequently for time-lapse videos of lightning storms and it has been soaked with heavy rain countless times. I was skeptical at first because of its light weight and long legs, I needed something solid, happy to say it has performed better than my expectations.It breaks down quickly and fits in my carry-on luggage (I hate checking bags). It is quite versatile and even has a mono-pod ( one of the legs quickly detaches). It is well built, and solid even in its highest setting (73 inches from floor to the camera base). it weighs just 4.12lbs / and can handle a camera load of upto 22 lbs. It can be folded to 16.93’’Built in level, swivel ball head, quick release plate.After almost 3 years of use, abuse and travel, it still looks and works like new! It IS the best tripod I have ever owned, I would buy it again but I doubt I will ever need to!!!It is an excellent value at a very reasonable price!I have since purchased many other K&F Concept products and I have yet to be disappointed!

Super versatile. Amazing for the money.
This tripod is fairly light weight but is still very sturdy and incredibly versatile. I love that I can adjust it so many different ways- shooting like normal, or upside down to get ground shots, or with the boom arm for overhead shots. The ball head makes it so I can set it up at ANY angle easily. It’s quick to adjust, quick to pack down. I’m super impressed with the quality and options for the money!

It’s a solid tripod
I figured I was taking a chance with the K&F model, thinking it might be poorly made. But there’s plenty to like about it. (I gave four stars rather than five due to uncertainty about how well some of the clamps will hold up. More on that below.)>> LegsRight out of the box they were very stiff. If anything they’re too stiff, which makes it a bit of a chore to unfold them. But they’ll loosen up over time and it’s a lot better having them be too stiff out of the box than too loose.When the tripod is set up, it feels quite solid.One advantage to the stiffness: When the tripod is fully collapsed “transverse” style, you can pick it up by one leg and the leg doesn’t immediately begin opening out. So you don’t have to pick it up by holding two legs (or use a strap to tie the legs together).>> BallheadSurprisingly good. It seems somewhat better-made than a ballhead supplied with another tripod of mine (a better-known brand). The ballhead’s controls feel well machined, and the knobs are large enough to be comfortable to turn. I’d have preferred their being rubberized, but you can’t have everything.>> Arca-Swiss-compatible clampNo problems. The supplied camera plate has a sensible design for the attachment screw, so you aren’t out of luck if you need to attach it but don’t have a flat-head screwdriver or coin. The clamp perfectly fits the Arca-Swiss base plate of my camera’s hand grip.>> Release levers for changing leg anglesI’ve seen comments about such tripods noting that the release levers are somewhat flimsy and might break. It’s possible, but I wonder if the problem is that people hold the legs under too much tension when they’re trying to change the angles. Instead, push the legs inward slightly before using the levers.>> “Transverse” center column designThis works very well. It’s the simplest one I’ve used so far: Bring the inner section of the center column to its max. height, and then it turns easily to horizontal via a ball-and-socket mechanism. Along its length, the inner column has a groove that fits to a tongue in its housing. So it doesn’t rotate within the housing. This makes sliding the column back and forth maybe a bit more difficult than it would otherwise be, but it feels nice and solid.>> Flip-lock levers for extending the legsThese don’t feel nearly as solid as the rest of the hardware. I won’t be opening or closing them too quickly or forcefully. It’s hard to tell how long they will hold up.>> Carrying bagIt’s fine. Dual zippers, carrying handle, and shoulder strap are included. Not ThinkTank quality, but it’ll do. (I wouldn’t have minded if they’d added a small zipper pocket to it. Hardly a deal-breaker.)>> DocumentationCompletely awful and unintentionally amusing. But you won’t likely need it. Leave it in the bag and forget about it.>> Not crazy about <> REALLY not crazy about <> Overall impression <

Great tripod! Solid and multidimensional. I love using it for a walking stick/cane. I have some rather large lenses and this tripod holds them STEADY!

It was not steady with the camera on it
