K&F Concept Desktop Mini Tripod for Camera, 20.5''/ 52cm Compact Tripod with 360° Low Profile Ball Head, 1/4'' Screw Travel Tripod Quick Release Plate for Camera Video Camcorder, Load Capacity 6KG

The K&F Concept Mini Desktop Tripod is a robust and versatile tripod. If you were ever looking for a nicer, do everything, mini tripod to carry around, this is the one for you. First off, it feels very sturdy, has a nice hefty weight to it, and the build quality for the price is fair. This is very compact (about 7 inches), and can extend up to 20". It only weights about 2 lbs, yet everything feels very sturdy. The legs have an interested design, since it allows you to make a lot more adjustments than your standard tripod. The center column can be adjusted or tweaked for low angle shooting. The mini tripod has an overall low center of gravity, which means it's pretty easy to keep stable while making your unique adjustments. This is great for all types of shooting, photo or live. Can withstand the weight of your DSLR and also has an attachment for your phone.

The second you see this in real life and pick it up you know it's a winner.
K&F Concept have been making some really fantastic photography and videography products in recent months but this has to be the best thing they've ever produced.

Taking it out of the box this immediately feels total quality. It feels unbreakable, rock solid, expertly put together and you know that it's going to do the job.

It is a mini tripod perfect for table top or using on surfaces when you don't quite need a full six foot tripod, although the legs do extend quite a bit if you need them to (just twist and pull and out they come!)

It's absolutely tiny really considering what it does, and is so compact you could almost put it in your pocket but don't let that make you think this isn't a solid tripod because this thing is a beast and can handle a full 6KG weight!

It's legs spread out as far as you want them to thanks to an absolutely brilliant ratcheting system, just open the clip, pull out the leg, and then close the clip - done! Every tripod should have this feature

There's a built in ball-head and yes it transforms from landscape to portrait in a second if you want to switch up what kind of shot you're taking

It has a built in spirit level, quick release plate for rapidly taking your camera on/off the tripod and even a threaded hole for attaching other items such as microphones, lights or whatever you want.

If you're into macro or low down shots it goes almost flat to the floor too

Basically whatever you need from a small tripod this is the one to get. it has everything and other nice touches that you might not even have thought of.

I think K&F Concept are my favourite company right now. They just keep delivering products that totally exceed your expectations.

Best tripod I've ever used by quite some way

I really like this little tripod!

Obviously it's really short but it's so easy to carry, it makes for a great quick deployment on the hood of a car, rock or just get to the ground.

Things I liked:
The ball head was a wonderful surprise, I did not expect it to hold so much weight so confidently. Also the orange leg position locks are spring loaded.

My favorite part is the twist lock feet, I wish every tripod worked like these. With a quick twist you can feel each joint unlock, pull to extend, and twist lock each back into place, it's just as fast to collapse.

Things I did NOT like:
The first is the weight, it's heavy for it's size, I wish it was a bit lighter for that ultra portable carry. I suppose it gives a bit of that confidence holding down a larger lens.

The second issue I think just a poor design flaw, the ball head and center support are just a bit too small/short to clear the tips of the feet when they fold up leaving them sticking out in a bit of a V shape. This seems like a silly thing but when you want a tiny tripod this feels like a massive oversight causing it to be bulkier than it should be. You can either take the ball head off and get a nice small fold or possibly replace the head with a slightly taller one. I tried moving the ball around in all sorts of directions it just really wide and could not be pushed out of the way.

I would recommend this K&F Concept Mini Tripod. For me the fast twist lock legs are a huge win but that makes the downsides that much more disappointing because this could have been epic. I do see myself using this on hikes and will likely look for a different head to get those legs tucked in just a bit better.

I love the fact that this little desktop tripod is so compact and well-made. It seems to be made primarily of machined aluminum and not cheap plastic for the structural components. All the joints are sharp and appear to be made to really tight tolerances. I have an older Canon EOS Rebel camera with a power drive and this setup is relatively heavy but this tripod was able to support it without falling over or collapsing. The locking mechanisms on the tripod seem to be staying put, but I haven't owned this for very long, so it is hard to say in the long run how it will hold up. I looked at other similar tripods on Amazon, but really questioned whether most of them in this class could comfortably support a heavy SLR camera. This one, even though a little expensive ($50) does the job well for me.

This is a great tabletop tripod for shooting when you need to keep the camera steady. For my purposes, I mostly use it to shoot product demonstrations. It folds compactly to just over 7" and the legs can be extended to just over 20" if you need some height. When folded it can easily fit into a backpack without taking up much space. Legs can be adjusted to minimize or maximize height. The ball head allows for easy adjustment and can orient your camera in both landscape and portrait. Well built and it looks like a quality item. K&F is making some very nice products and this is no exception.

This is a very useful tabletop tripod strong enough to hold a mirrorless or DSLR with lenses that aren't overly heavy. The manufacturer rates it as capable of 13lb load. I didn't try anything that heavy, but it was fine with about 4-5 points of my gear.

It folds down really small for carrying and can be set up for anywhere from about 2" to 20" high. It has a pretty decent ball mount on top with an Arca Swiss clamp. That's great because all my gear use Arca plates. It comes with an Arca plate if you need one and also a phone clamp and hex wrench. Nice package overall.

It has a 1/4"-20 hole to mount a monitor of whatever else you might want. Nice touch. The knurling on the height adjustment stem is good. Everything feels pretty solid overall. But I have my nitpicks...

1. The have a foam padding around each of the legs. I'm not quite sure what purpose it serves (maybe so you don't feel cold when handling the tripod), but it is a soft, low density foam. I'm pretty sure it is going to fall apart after some months or years of use, or at least look like someone chewed it up. I'd have preferred no foam or a really hard rubbery material rather than the foam.

2. The screwing/unscrewing mechanism to extend/close the legs doesn't feel very smooth. It feels somewhat cheap. It doesn't feel like you are operating a well machined piece of equipment. Improving the feel of extending/recessing the legs would be good. Just make it as nice a feel as the knurled metal lock used for the height adjustment stem.

3. The legs themselves are plastic and slightly flimsy feeling. I am sure it is very difficult to find a balance of weight, price, and material quality. And I am probably asking for too much from something that costs close to 50 bucks. But a nice set of carbon fiber legs with better extension/recessing mechanism would make this product even better.

Anyway, I think it is a pretty decent value for money if you are looking for a compact, tabletop tripod to mount up to perhaps 6-8 pounds of gear.

I ordered this as a desk mount for when Vlogging with a Sony ZV-E10 with a 16mm Prime mounted and it could have been designed for the task!
As with all K&F products I own manufacturing quality is second to none, as is operability being very quick to deploy or pack away.
The camera is held rock steady, I didn't need to use the supplied plates as the camera cage I use has one built into the base, and adjustment, whilst limited for height, is just enough to get a perfect angle when recording.

Yet another recommendation for this brand.

You can tell as soon as you open the packaging this is something different, and a far cry from a lot of the "toy" lightweight tripods. It oozes quality. Everything feels tight like it should, fittings are good quality with no play. Only tried my P950 on it so far but it held that steady enough.

I can see this getting a lot of use due to its stability and size.

This is a small tripod that can be used with big cameras. Most of the pocket size, or small tripods can only hold up to 3 lb of equipment. But this small size tripod can hold up to 13 lb of equipment. That's pretty much what a normal full size tripod can hold. I have used this with my mirrorless cameras, and other video cameras, very stable!! Even with bigger lenses it has no issues at all. It comes with the ARCA mount and ball head, just like full size tripod does. Love the built quality and the size of the tripod.

Versatile, easy to use
