*This is quite the comprehensive review!* K&F has served me well so far, and can't be beat for carbon fiber sticks at that price. Keep up the solid reviews!
I have the older version of this tripod, which has a reversible center column and a stubby column. I thought I would never use the reversible column, but then I got into macro, and now I use it all the time.
K&F Concept makes some great products and it's hard to find a better bang for the buck than their family of carbon fiber twist lock tripods. I have the exact same tripod in this video and never had any issues after taking countless pictures. My only recommendation is to replace to standard BH-35L head with the much better and upgraded FH-01 fluid head with adjustable handle. Once you have an adjustable length handle fluid head you will never go back to the aluminum ball in socket hand crank head.
I took a look of this tripod and its price is really good as its quality ... your description and review are useful, they help us to make the right choice ... thank you very much, you keep on sharing your advices 😊👍
I'm just an amateur, but I've used the up-side-down method a lot. Especially if you have remote shutter. It's really helpful for macro shots and shots shooting straight down, or nearly straight down. (Tarantula coming out of it's hole, fish in a stream, fish in an aquarium, etc) I "discovered" this use back in the 1970's with an old absolute tank of a tripod back in the day. But even my little Benro I modified so I can do this. When you angle the camera so the lens is pointing down your controls are facing up. Easy. ;-)

I picked it up because of this great review. I'm really liking it.

The shorter centerpost comment is right on. Without it it's no go for me. The one on sale is the older model. Haven't checked out its replacement.
Nothing wrong with buying something from eBay you $ave a ton
