Much to like with this. Most of the reviews were accurate but mine was delivered with one camera plate (detachable) and not two like in some reviews. Also came with a carry bag, and two allen keys to adjust the tension of the extension clips. The ball head is a fairly simple one, and I have fitted another one which in my mind is better from 7-day shop.com. The 7-dayshop professional head is far more adjustable and does not have the "grease" problem that many reviewers describe with the Konig. This said, the Konig head is not caked in grease and the chances of any getting on equipment would seem fairly slim to me. My main gripe is that the legs are slightly scratched in several places. Although not a serious issue it is annoying as, if I were to try and sell this tripod down the line, it is going to affect the resale value. Sure, if I have caused the scratches through misuse then fair enough. However, I tend to be careful with all my camera equipment so this is really annoying and Konig could look at their quality control. The legs and the centre column seem rock solid and in terms of all the other reviews, they are correct. I have a Canon 7D Mk 2 with Battery grip and a 70-200 ML F2.8 or a Sigma 50MM 1.4 Art (both big lenses) and it holds them rock steady and is really impressive. All my other lenses are smaller and lighter so should be fine if the biggest two are! Overall I am really pleased with the tripod and for the money would recommend to anyone. It is pretty much as adjustable as much as I want it to be and the centre column can be inverted. Yes it is a bit heavy but you can't have it all ways. I do not plan to walk miles with this up hill and down dale and my photography is normally sport and wildlife and if anything I use my Manfroto monopod when out and about. However, for keeping in the car boot or in my home studio this is brilliant. I am 6'3'' tall and fully extended it is slightly too low for me. However, this is also a minor problem given what I paid for it. For these reasons I have given only 4 stars but I feel that at least I have justified why without randomly doing so and then not explaining. As most of the reviews say, buying this will not disappoint and the many positives outweigh the few negatives. If you have a better head then great, although the size of the ball head detachable plate on the Konig ball head is one of the biggest I have seen anywhere. For me the legs from the Konig and the 7-day shop "professional" ball-head (under £20.00) make a really good combination. I own a Manfrotto "travel" tripod and it is simply too light for my equipment. This is rock solid and hopefully last for years!

This is a decent tripod for the money. I am a pro photographer and own two other Manfrottos, the heavy 058B and the versatile 055PRO. So how does the Konig compare?
Unless you want to spend another £100, this is excellent value for money and is probably the best value tripod on Amazon. No it's not as good as the 055, but it's a lot better than most other cheap tripods. The only issue I have is with the ball head, which seems a substantial well made head with some mass to it. However, even when fully locked up, their is a fair bit of flex in the head just from pressing the shutter on a light DSLR. This movement is visible through the viewfinder. Swapping the head for a Kirk BH-3 rectified the problem immediately. So, if you are going to use the Konig ball head it will be advisable to use mirror lock-up with a remote release in order to obtain the sharpest images.
Is it worth buying? Yes definitely, the legs are excellent value; swap the head for a good Arca style ball head and you have an excellent tripod/head combo.

This is a sturdy, well built tripod, with plenty of really good features, at a very reasonable price. As the name suggests it is a heavy duty (and heavy) tripod so it is perfect for DSLRs, but is going to be overkill for a compact or even a large super-zoom. It is well built and everything works perfectly so you can be confidant of getting it balanced on any terrain and that the camera weight or wind is not going to topple it.
There are tons of features to get the camera in the right position: sturdy legs with very strong (adjustable) locking mechanisms which, at the press of a button, open right up so you can get them into any position. The feet are rubber and swivel to plant firmly on the ground and if you screw them right up to the leg there are also solid spikes for softer ground. The height adjusting column can be removed and re-entered upside down so the camera sits between the legs, which is great for low level or macro shots. The ball head is good, although out of the box mine was a little sticky and needed a little lubrication. It has a built in spirit level and the quick release plate is also good quality, easily tightened to the camera body and quickly slotted into and out of the tripod, but with a tightening screw to stop any movement. In fact when everything is tightened up there is no movement in the tripod at all, which is obviously what you want.
Included in the box is a second quick release for another camera body and a carrying bag, which also seems well made and should last well. Don't think it is mentioned on the product page, but the tripod has Konig printed on it.
Overall this is a great value tripod and might not be quite as good (although it isn't that far off) as a Manfrotto, but for the spec. it is considerably cheaper. Well recommended; a proper bargain (just like the Sound Magic PL30s I've bought from Amazon, which are totally un-photography-related!).
