68''/1.7m Carbon Fiber Tripod Professional Camera Tripod Capacity 16KG/35.2lbs with 36mm Metal Ball Head Load X284C4+BH-36

The carbon fiber of this tripod does an incredible job of keeping the whole thing very light and portable. The rest of the hardware (locking cams to extend the legs, adjustable center post) is also high quality, durable, and sturdy. The included ball head is okay though – it’s good, but not great. I’ll probably swap it out for one of my better heads, but for the purposes of testing this tripod, the included ball head is fine. It fits common locking plates, and I had no problem installing my mirrorless camera with an existing locking plate on the ball head. The ball head itself has what looks like a plastic handle and a plastic ball. Additionally, the top plate wasn’t securely attached when the tripod arrived, and while it came with an Allen key to tighten things up, I *really* had to push the center bolt on the top plate of the ball head to secure it. The whole design of the ball head is… mediocre. The center post also has a sturdy hook where you can hang a sandbag or your camera bag to add extra stability for a shot. The ability to convert 1 leg into a monopod is a nice feature, and it's a feature I've used a lot on some of my other tripods, so I was very happy to see this included. This tripod is a great choice when traveling, or anytime you need to save weight while still needing a good tripod for your camera.

If you are a beginner or an amateur, this tripod is for you.
It is lightweight, easy to setup and sturdy.
It has a hook to hang your bag and it is versatile.

I‘ve wanted a carbon fiber tripod for a long time and I have a lot of K&F concept equipment and am a huge fan because everything from this brand that I have got has exceeded my expectations of quality. I am absolutely thrilled with this tripod and as a content creator I use it every day. It's replaced my old aluminum one that was still nice, but this is just sooooo nice! Everything works very smoothly and the build quality is excellent and you can just tell the moment you pick it up that it's a high quality product.
How My Star Rating System Works & What They Mean:
1 STAR - Pretty much junk and I would return and ask for a refund if I could.
2 STAR - It works, but barely meets the minimum requirements it should in order to keep it and not return it, but I would not order again.
3 STAR - It does what it was designed to do, but there's nothing really special about it. It's acceptable but not great.
4 STAR - I am very comfortable recommending it to a friend because it is is well made, durable, and delivers on its advertised features, and I would buy it again.
5 STAR - I really love it. The item exceeds my expectations of quality, durability and functionality. Not only would I purchase it again, but I would also actively encourage friends and family to do the same.

All of my reviews are my own personal opinion and are completely honest no matter if I receive an item for free or I pay for it. I am an avid Amazon shopper, as well as an Amazon Vine Voice and I personally rely on reading reviews to make all of my buying decisions, so I understand the importance of honest reviews from my peers.

I do a lot of landscape photography, and while shutter speeds often allow hand-holding, there‘s a distinct, visible advantage to tripod-mounting your camera. Not only does it reduce vibration, it also allows different shutter speeds to be used without risk of camera shake for flowing water, for example. I have several tripods, some sturdier (and hence heavier) than others, and usually have a mid-weight tripod in my car. This K&F Concept tripod is what I would consider mid-weight, at 1.8kg, yet it is sturdier than I expected for that weight.
The tripod is made of carbon fibre, which gives it strength without too much weight, and it looks good! The tripod comes with a metal ball mounting head that will support cameras up to 16kg. At first, I thought the tripod would be more suited to videography, but using it for photography with my Nikon Z-series and a big telephoto lens, I think it works for both quite well. It extends out to 68 inches height, and can work as both a tripod and a monopod. Not all photographers like ball heads (they have their advantages and disadvantages) and I did replace the ball head with a three-axis head for a while, but I kinda like the ball head on this tripod.

I've been using the tripod for a couple of weeks so far, and I like it. It doesn't weigh much, so is easy to move with me in a shoulder bag, and it has proven to be a solid mount so far. I like the look of the tripod, too. It is not a cheap tripod, and there are competing models on the market, but the combination of carbon fibre and easy of portability makes this a tripod to use every day.

I’m very pleased with this tripod.I use this tripod almost every night for my astrophotography provided that the weather permits it (which is why I bought it) and for my long exposures to capture cars at night (like they’re speeding around a race track). I really like that this tripod feels sturdy and durable. Great for the affordable price. I’m happy with it. Oh and it’s light weight and easy to tote around

I previously had a Aluminium K&F tripod but I found it difficult to manage With my arthritic sausage fingers . So apart from the obvious stability requirement I was looking for a much easier mechanism to open up and adjust the tripod . I am sure there are much better Carbon fibre tripods out there but when you have a tight budget this tripod has it all, easy to use, solid enough for what I require and above all a in a good price range. I’m very happy with it as I have been with all K&F products that I have purchased.

This tripod is very good quality for the price. It's compact and lightweight which is great for travel. I really like the hook at the bottom. The hook allows me to hang my camera bag somewhere, and weighs the tripod down in windy conditions. The adjustment handle is smooth, and gives me quite a bit of leverage when panning for video and panoramic photos. The clasps are quick and easy to use which is very efficient in run-and-gun style adventures and shoots. The phone mount is also a nice added accessory.
Overall a great buy!

The tripod is good.

This was a gift for my husband to use while practicing his golf swing. He likes that it’s easily portable, quick to set up and easy to use. Overall, good buy for the money.
