K&F SA255C1 Kohlefaser Stativ 172cm Carbon Kamerastativ, Kompaktes, Leichtes Reisestativ mit 360 Grad Kugelkopf

This tripod feels the excellent quality the movement of the legs ouses precission.
The ball head is just excellent quality there is a notch where the head just slips in to for easy vertical shots and the reassuring quality is there again in the way the head moves beautiful slow motion great when going pano shots and a handy marker on the head to let you know how far you've come round.
The monopod works really well the whole this is metal and carbon fibre construction.
Now i bought this item for the lightness of carbon fibre but the ball head is heavy which actually makes the tripod heavier than my old ally and plastic job this is the only thing that knocks this item i still recommend this tripod 10/10.

I bought this tripod as a birthday present for my sister, as she's seriously into her photography and wanted one to add to her kit of camera stuff. I decided to go for this as it's made of carbon fibre, as opposed to aluminium, and unlike aluminium carbon fibre doesn't rust, so it's ideal for use outdoors, even if it does start raining. The tripod can be adjusted into several different positions in order to gain the best shot - the length of the legs can be individually altered in the event that you have to stand it on uneven surfaces, such as if you're standing it on rocky terrain and need to find a way of standing it so as to get the camera sitting level on the tripod, as opposed to sitting lop-sided. It also comes with a very small shaft that hangs from a chain when it's not being used. Given that the angle of all three legs can even be adjusted so that they're almost level to the ground this makes the tripod especially useful for getting shots that look as though you were lying on your belly aiming up the camera when the shot was taken - simply get all three legs as close to the ground as possible, screw on the short shaft and you can sit the camera on that and get low-level photographs that may otherwise be very awkward, if not impossible, to get otherwise.

All in all I'd say that this is a very well made and well thought out piece of kit - if you're currently split between getting this or opting for one of the cheaper aluminium models then get this - it's well worth the money and you certainly won't regret it.

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.
