K&F Concept 90 inch/230cm Ultra High Camera Tripod,Horizontal Overhead Shooting Travel Tripods with Metal Ball Head 10KG Load Capacity,Detachable Monopod, for Indoor and Outdoor Use T254A7+BH-28L

Versatile, lightweight, and sturdy!
Lightweight, sturdy, collapses down very small. An extremely versatile tripod that works great to mount a camera for our baseball games. I like how tall it is compared to a standard tripod.

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 <

Do it all (almost) tripod that’s robust & a bit hefty
Over 2m high, with integrated center column that could go horizontal in seconds. It has pretty thick aluminum legs w robust build, which in turn making pushing weight to the heavier side (2kg) for bringing along on hike. I’ll look into some budget carbon fiber tripod instead.

What I needed in a tripod.
I photograph food, real estate and news. The tripod needed to be fairly tall, fully extended it can reach over 7′ tall. It needed to be able to do full 90º to shoot from the top for food and product photography, it does that very well with the extender boom arm. It also needed to be very stable and not move at all while adjusting the camera for HDR photography while doing real estate. It is very solid. It needed to be tall enough to see over objects and barriers as I also do news photography and sometimes nature as well. It is a very tall tripod. It isn’t very heavy either. Overall I am very pleased with this tripod. It did come with a carrying bag, but I pretty much discarded it and don’t use it. The bag does seem to be weatherproof, and made of some thick vinyl type material. But I am a believer that my photography gear should work in all kinds of weather. The other main reason for choosing this tripod is I had a hard time replacing parts for my previous tripod. I lost a foot on this tripod already. I was able to replace the foot and the company had a selection of options. I am very pleased with this one.

After my old tripod broke it was time to shop for a new one. With the amount of flat lay photos I take I needed a tripod to hold the camera at that angle to save my shoulders. The his tripod is so versatile and can be set up many different ways! It’s also built very strong so it holds my heavy canon 5D Mark III easily and every angle. Also nice and high when n ending that extra lift!

Over all it’s Good quality with a minor flaws. It’s a daily use product for me and I am happy with it. The one problem that I have is when you tilt the arm there is no counter weight, so if you have an arm extended all the way it can tip over. There are ways to prevent it. I am happy with it, cos it does not cost an arm and a leg and gives you a bunch of functionalities.
