Hi
I want to share my experience with K&F with you.
I purchased K&F’s TC2335 in September last year for my vlogging camera. Whilst I was away on a photography trip in December, two of the tripod feet fell off. The feet are a push on design. I contacted K&F and they told me that they don’t have spares. I asked them to replace it under warranty and they ignored me. I have contacted them a number of times and they don’t return my emails. K&F take exception to the warranties that they will honour. I would not buy from them again.
Great video by the way.

I bought this for my binoculars for hiking/camping etc and they are perfect, if not a little heavy on longer hikes. The smooth ball-head panning for glassing was very important for me as was it's extension height, me being 6'1. Glassing with anything but calm, smooth movement becomes very unpleasant very fast and eye fatigue sets in quick. I love how smooth and precise I can be when scanning and not shake my eyes. Fully extended it is plenty tall enough for me also. I recommend this tripod for the price. If I could afford carbon I would have preferred the weight I would save but other than that, no complaints at all.

I came here because I wanted to learn how this tripod works. Great job on the review and showing the functionality of the tripod. Very entertaining too 😀.

I had one identical to this labeled Zomie, i think. It looks identical. Mine fell apart and I might order another one because the price is so solid!

[goddaniel]

Thank you so much! Cool and entertaining. I just got it and was going to return bc I couldnt find the horizontal axis part. Loved the vid!

Thanks Damian, just bought this for 90 degree food photography shots looks like it will do the job

[ronanrogers]

How is it holding up after a year’s use? Are the thumbscrews strong enough to hold the centre tube in place when it’s both vertical and at an angle?

[MichaelCartyIreland]

Can this be used on with a gopro or samsung camera?

[chazM]

at the end you did not fold the legs up to make it smaller so will that make it as small as your other one?

[lordmerren]

My Manfrotto didn't come with a dent in the center column like yours, and it is much more sturdy where the legs connect to the central hub part. That's why it cost more

WHAT DOES THE FOOTAGE LOOK LIKE *FROM* THE CAMERA IN THE OVERHEAD POSITION??
You came so close to showing us. Yet so far.
It is astounding to me that not a single reviewer has thought to show us how wide an angle you can get before the tripod legs start to show. Seems like a pretty important question to me.

I just purchased the Newer version of this tripod. Slightly different tilt mechanism but very nice indeed.

[alternive]

nice but you didn't demo one leg being removed and used as a monopod :)

[hellsbells]

Best tripod ever!!! Get one one amazon sale for my birthday, best choice quality/price, and pretty small. Now I can carry tripod and camera in my backpack

[blessingsthroughfaith]

Great video. I was thinking about getting one of the K&F tripods, but then I noticed something watching videos. Since the quick release knob and the spirit level are on opposite sides of the plate, one of them will be under the camera??? Seems like an idiotic design to me. When you have your camera mounted in the video...the bubble level is under your lens??? If it were the other way it wouldn't be much of a quick release (at least not without some inconvenience and struggle)

1.5yrs later. Does the legs still hold up. Any failures or worn areas?

*I noticed a bit of skipping when you panned*
This is a good tripod and a step up from your Velbon. However this is not in the same quality or performance category as a similar Manfrotto. Thank you though for sharing your thoughts on this.

Is it compatible with Fujifilm XT3? After one year what are your thoughts? Just got mine TM2534T and i already found some issues with the plastic o'rings used on each leg. I untightened more that usual and the plastic orings just fallen down broken in two pieces. I have contacted the company today and i am waiting their comments and solution

Small problem Where the top mount is fixed (The 360 mark the screw cannot be tightened. Have had to use a lokin compound) Otherwise its great
