Was looking for a decent tripod and found this one on sale! Looks pretty decent for the price!

With a sturdy carbon frame, this lightweight and adjustable tripod is the quintessential photography accessory.

Portable and compact tripod
One spirit level and three leg lock positions
Max weight of 6kg
Sturdy carbon material
Sturdy, compact design that adapts to any environment

Suitable for the vast majority of DSLRs and digital cameras on the market, this tripod can go on all your photographic adventures with you. With three different leg lock positions and spirit levels, you can mount your camera at just 47cm from the ground or hoist it up to 168cm to frame the perfect shot.

Adjustable, user friendly head mount

A ball head lets you adjust your positioning to the degree. Featuring a quick release plate, your camera can be removed or mounted in seconds.

A spirit level, compass and compact transportation for adventurous photographers

Adding to the precision of the fully rotational mount, a spirit level and a built-in compass ensure that every component is perfectly aligned. This greatly assists in uneven outdoor environments and ensures your photography is crystal clear.

When your shoot’s wrapped, simply fold down to a height of just 60cm and place it in the fitted bag for easy and compact travelling.

    Carbon vs carbon fibre… hmmm

    • RNDM on 08/10/2019 - 18:11

      “Sturdy carbon fiber material“

  • frogduck on 08/10/2019 - 15:52

    I assume they mean carbon steel :)

    Edit: although that's quite light!

  • BeRad on 08/10/2019 - 15:54

    i assume the colour is carbon actually…

    • frogduck on 08/10/2019 - 15:55

      It says "Sturdy carbon material" though

      • alvian on 08/10/2019 - 16:04

        It is (1.55kg) lighter than the aluminium version (1.7kg), so it is constructed of a different material.

        • kurdoxan on 08/10/2019 - 16:09

          How the Sony tripods made of aluminum are lighter than this?

            @kurdoxan: The question is so stupid that it does not deserve an answer.

          • whitelie on 08/10/2019 - 16:21

            @kurdoxan: Shorter, so less material? Maybe lighter/thinner plastics…
            Even though this is heavier, it can hold a lot more weight.

  • alastor on 08/10/2019 - 15:56

    is it any good?? any other recommendations?

    • onggie on 08/10/2019 - 15:58

      +1 besides the BS description, is this any good for the price. Assuming it's heavy though.

      • cloudy on 08/10/2019 - 16:01

        No heavier than any other 6kg tripod

        Weight is stated.

        • carmar on 08/10/2019 - 16:03
          +2

          Nah, that 6kg is the total camera/lens weight that the tripod can support. A 6kg tripod would be huge or made from straight steel.

          • cloudy on 08/10/2019 - 16:04

            @carmar: Yea sorry you replied as I tried to edit, the weight is 1.55kg. In the product dimensions

    • boomramada on 08/10/2019 - 16:06

      Heavy and cheap compare to this https://sellingoutsoon.com.au/sirui-t-025sk-carbon-fibre-tri… :)

      • [Deactivated] on 08/10/2019 - 16:14

        At first I thought the Kogan tripod was an rebadged Sirui tripod but closer inspection revealed several differences. Would've been a great price for a Sirui.

      • b82rez on 08/10/2019 - 16:19

        You're comparing a $300 tripod to a $39 tripod. There are levels to this game.

        • boomramada on 08/10/2019 - 16:34

          All I'm saying is 50% heavier but 3x 10x cheaper ;)

    Buy once, buy quality.

  • vinnycol on 08/10/2019 - 16:16

    150g lighter than this one https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-professional-camera-tripo…

  • ENSLAVER on 08/10/2019 - 16:27

    Max Height: 168cm - Not great if you are going to be using it standing up, unless you're a shorty.

    • lomie on 08/10/2019 - 16:54
      +1

      168cm + height from tripod mount to viewfinder is maybe 173cm. Then add some more to get to the top of the head of a person and that is bordering on a 6 foot person. That isn't a shorty in my books.

  • kid-vhee on 08/10/2019 - 18:49

    looks similar to zomei 699c except the ballhead. that said im very happy with the zomei 699c as a good travel tripod.

  • RNDM on 08/10/2019 - 19:47

    I'm gonna give it a go.

    • Appears to have the same legs as other carbon fiber tripods. Just looking at the texture of the legs.
    • When I went looking for something "reasonable" 4-months back, I couldn't find much that was less than 100.
    • Assuming that it is what it says it is … I would expect a going price of 150, so an original price of 179 doesn't seem like a stretch.
    • And looks good enough as a backup at worst.
  • yogo on 08/10/2019 - 21:17

    Hmm 7 reviews. Average of 4.7 and yet there's no actual reviews that I can see. Anyone else see them?

  • AgentInky on 08/10/2019 - 21:35

    I've been holding off on getting a tripod for what feels like an age. Would getting this kind of thing be fine for a beginner photographer, or is it best to just hold off a bit longer and get something with a better rep/quality?

    • RNDM on 08/10/2019 - 21:48
      +1

      Optimally, best get something that you really want and that meets your needs and quality expectations. Though, if you don't know exactly what you want, and you're unsure which features are important to you, then this wouldn't be a bad option … from the perspective of paying 39+delivery to learn and understand what you really want from a tripod.

      There are lots of other tripods, which cost more and probably worse quality. The other option is to look at second-hand tripods, but I would say the quality stuff tend to hold their value anyway.

      • AgentInky on 08/10/2019 - 21:53

        Thanks for the input!

        I think I might give the aluminium version a try (150g extra weight for $10 less seems super reasonable to work out what I want).

  • lomie on 08/10/2019 - 22:37

    It appears to have an Arca-Swiss style plate. Not bad if it is fully compatible.

  • mariom on 08/10/2019 - 22:43

    My thoughts on this are:
    1. 6kg rating is fairly low for a tripod of this size, especially given that this is a spec which is usually overstated
    2. the spider (where the legs attach to the head) looks very flimsy
    3. leg lock threads look like they're plastic rather than metal

    All that being said, I've seen a lot worse at much higher prices. If you have a fairly light camera setup, it might be worth a punt.
