    Update April, 24, 2022: The tripod still works fine, but I tried the monopod feature and it fell apart after 1 use lol. It's the part at the bottom where you can hook something heavy underneath the tripod to keep it stable. That part is glued in place, and came off easily. It's very cheaply made.

    Casey - You should be able to unthread the weight hook from the center column. Then loosen the center column friction. You can then pull the center column through and add it to the monopod leg. Then you'll find it to be a more useable monopod.

    I have the Peak Design tripod (carbon) which I got during the kickstarter for around C$600. Honestly, it's not perfect, but I love using it in comparison to travel tripods like the K&F one here. The main reason is it deploys more easily and quickly in comparison to conventional tripods which require the legs to be inverted in the stowed configuration. Full marks to PD for thinking outside of the box.

    The Benro Aero S2 is the travel tripod to get. It has a fluid video head with a handle for smooth pans, rubber feet and spikes, turns into a mono pod, has a leveling head, its not flimsy, and has a hook in the center if you want to hang some weight on the bottom of the center column, and it has latches instead of twist locks. They make an S4 and S6 if you want a bigger one, but the S2 is the travel tripod. About $180 US $15,000 Canadian.

I prefer a ball head with a locking plate, instead of the flash/light tripod style plates where you slide it in and tighten a screw. Do you know if these Aero tripods from Benro have anything like that? I noticed the aero 2 is also more of a video tripod with an extension arm.

    I'm definitely a latch person. Twisty locks don't work for me.

      Twists are so easy, but for some reason people tend to turn the locks waaay to far. They generally just need a quarter turn to unlock and lock.

    I have this tripod and to be honest I wish I hadn't. When it arrived a leg was loose, I tightened it but it still worked loose every time I used it, I contacted K&F, they were pretty useless. A couple of weeks ago the ball head fell off and the little spring loaded weight catch fell off as the nut was not secured. I have now stopped using it as I have lost all confidence in it. Not their best product

    There are always downsides to lightweight tripods. A tripod's job is stability, and there's just no substitute for weight in those cases. With that said, I love my Manfrotto BeFree Live because it's stable "enough."

      That's what I thought, until a foot broke off. And that was the aluminum model. So now I can only extend it for two segments (the leg with no foot is retracted and I can't get it out) and it's basically useless. I'm never going that lightweight again.
