This is a cheap Chinese products
The tripod, model KF09.086 I received, is a cheap Chinese product. The included manual is in Chinese and a google translated version of supposed English/German is included but makes no sense and is essentially useless. The product was damaged upon arrival. There are similar priced product with excellent quality and English manuals on the market. The head seems of good quality and it has some clever design features that makes it flexible, But it is so lightweight that is just becomes unsteady for larger DSL cameras with lenses.
