K&F ConceptX-Series 68 inch/172cm Carbon Fiber Camera Tripod,Professional Photography Tripod with 36mm Metal Ball Head Load Capacity 16KG/35.2lbs for Indoor Outdoor Use X284C4+BH-36

This thing is built good and strong. Very easy to use and smooth as butter with an 8lb lens and dslr camera. Easy enough to carry over the hills and through the woods. Well worth the $!

I have a studio grade professional Bogen tripod, but it is heavy. I needed something that was easier to transport. I purchased this tripod based on many reviews, features and comparisons to other professional level tripods that were 2-3x the price. This unit is light and very well made. It's so light, that under high winds, you will need to weight it down. The unit is very versatile. It has the same features of the more expensive tripods. (Save money for your lenses.) This K&F Concept X-Series tripod comes highly recommended.

I needed a lightweight, full-height tripod to carry around with me for walks and location shoots. This is a sturdy tripod that can handle the weight of a DSLR with a 600mm lens. I don't worry about the ballhead not holding. Overall, this tripod does the job. There are two things that I wish were different purely because of my preferences. I wish the legs had toggle/buckle locks rather than screw-down. The toggles are quicker and less prone to collapse. I also wish the bullhead's plate holder had a flip & lock in place mechanism rather than a tightening friction screw. I worry the screw might loosen while moving the tripod and have my camera fall along with a loose plate attachment. So, for the time being, I make double certain that everything is screwed tight and I hold the camera when bouncing the tripod around.

Excellent quality and very sturdy....I would definitely buy it again but won't need to because it won't wear out any time soon

Iam pleasantly surprised as a photographer for over 50 years this is a nicely made tripod. It’s light and well made. It took a few minutes to figure out the monopod because the instructions don’t explain how to detach the leg and head to create it. Once together it feels awesome and easy to use it’s nice that it all fits into the bag, the bag should have been made a bit larger the fit is very tight.

Semi retired photographer here.. this is surprisingly good. Nice fittings, light weight, arcade Swiss mount. This is a better deal than a heavy Manfrotto. Think this is a bargain.

Excelente producto. Estoy comenzando en la fotografía y decidí comprarlo, lo he probado en varios escenarios y esta maravilloso, muy buenos materiales, el acabado es muy bueno, de manera general me encanta.

I received the X254C4+BH-30 as a gift from my kids to replace a tripod I had left behind in a rental car. The original tripod had some play in the central column, so I contacted K&F. Their customer support was fast and excellent—they promptly replaced the part.I didn't return it to Amazon because the 30-day return period had already passed, as I wasn’t able to open my "gift" in time.
