It's not often I just receive a product and want to rush out and write a review but after playing with this tripod for just an hour here I am. While you can't really call this a cheap tripod as for as camera kit goes this is definitely a value for money item.From the carry bag to the two all metal 360 panoramic ballheads everything fells solid and well built. The horizontal arm adds tones of flexibility allowing you to switch from portraits, to low leave macros, to smooth panoramic shots and can even fill in for a rail slide in a pinch. It also has a standard threaded mount point under the rubber plug at the far end going options for further mounts.Switching from Tri to Mono pole is quick and easy but requires a double thread that could be easily lost. I will keep the tread attached and the hook in the bag as I'm more likely to mono pole on a regular bases than require the tripod to be weighted down.The legs extend and contract quickly enough and the angle locks feel solid. I'm only using mirrorless cameras and fairly light weight lenses but even with an external monitor and LED light also attached it was stable at full extension.While my kit is for family and fun use only I have two pre-teens who have become aspiring film makers of late and can be heavy handed at time as youngest tend to be. I'm pretty sure this tripod will stand up to everything we require of it and I will be sure to return and update if time and use begins to show short comings. But as it stands I'm very please with my purchase.

excellent quality product and good design comes with a medium quality transport bag and a carry bag, comes in a box the tripod measures about 42 cm when it is closed for transport and the minimum height is about 56 cm, its maximum height 1.70 cm The higher the height, the lower the stability. I recommend a counterweight to keep it stable and not raise the ball, which with more weight could fall. Although it is tight, it can also fall. In addition, the maximum weight supported is 10 kilos. Keep in mind that you should always put 2 kilos less on it to prevent it from falling. fall or break under the weight.
If it is your first tripod, it is worth being careful with the wheels and not tightening them too much because they could break just by turning when you arrive and not tightening it, the rubber bands on the legs will wear out over time so do not be surprised when they break even so The model is quite good and I consider it to be in the middle of its longest, largest and most expensive 2-meter model and its 1.30 m model, which is the smallest, this one is in the middle, its weight is 1,690 aluminum, I highly recommend it, but have Note that it will end due to wear because each joint where the balls are will wear out due to use, it is just an observation. I highly recommend it.

When the package arrived it was so small and light I thought I must’ve ordered the wrong item. Wouldn’t have been the first time. This tripod is excellent value – it is strong, lightweight, easy to manoeuvre and folds down to a very small size. And there is the added bonus of the instructions, which demonstrate a very creative use of the English language. However if you’re interested in this tripod you probably know how it works so you should be happy to regard the instructions as a comedy bonus.

I’ll start this review with a warning, my reviews are usually pretty long and detailed, but I like to write my reviews in a way that will help other buyers, particularly when buying from relatively unknown or overseas companies.This was my first purchase from this company and I must say that I am genuinely very impressed. It wasn’t strictly a ‘blind’ purchase because I had the good fortune of finding their company stand at this year’s (2019) Photography Show at the NEC in Birmingham, UK.Whilst there, I had the opportunity to handle and have a play with a few of their different tripods and lens filters. I then left without making a purchase whilst I mulled over what kit I’d like to upgrade.I am a keen amateur photographer and so I have a limited budget for my kit and have been ‘making do’ with a cheap tripod that I’ve had for years, and has been subject to far too many repairs over the years, so I decided that it was time for improvements!I ordered this tripod and it arrived within 2 days and it was really well packaged. Inside the box, I found that the tripod and accessories were contained in a sturdy, but conveniently sized, carry bag with handles. (See photos). The bag contained the tripod with a ball head in a very snazzy, velvety, protective draw string bag. There was also a shoulder strap for the carry bag and a small bag containing adaptors, instructions and an ‘Allen’ key to tighten the tripod legs if necessary.Upon lifting the tripod out of the bag, it immediately feels solid, robust and clearly great quality. In its fully folded position, the tripod is approximately 15” long and fits neatly in the carry bag without a struggle! To put the tripod straight to use, you simply pull all 3 legs downwards and the red aluminium locking clips, at the top of each leg, lock the legs in their first position, with the central column fully extended. A simple ¼ turn of the rubber coated central locking nut, by hand, allows the central column to drop into its most stable position.Each of the legs on the tripod have sections which can be quickly and easily extended, and locked into position, by means of a ¼ turn of the rubber coated locking nuts at the top of each section.The red aluminium locking clip, at the top of each leg, can then be used to change the splay of the legs to one of three set positions and beyond. To increase stability, when the legs are extended, the base of the central column has a spring loaded hook fitted that you can hang your camera bag or a weight from for more piece of mind if you need to leave the tripod unattended.I connected the shoe to the base of Nikon D300 (one of my heavier cameras) and the ball head had absolutely no problem supporting it.A couple of twists, by hand, of the various locking screws on the head and I was able to extend the central column before rotating it through 90 degrees (see photos). At this point, and purely for the purposes of this review, I left the centre column in its fully extended position with the camera still fitted to it. I was very pleasantly surprised to see that it easily supported the heavy DSLR in this, normally, very unstable position! (see photos).After returning the centre column back to a vertical position, you just need to unscrew, by hand, the base of the centre column to allow it to be replaced upside down so that your camera can be underslung on the tripod. This is absolutely ideal for macro and pet photography and adds further stability with the camera mounted to it.One of my favourite features of this tripod is the ability to quickly remove one of the legs so that it can be used as a monopod!! Anything that means that I can carry less kit with me is always a winner, in my view! To do this, simply unscrew the top of the leg, with the convenient rubber hand grip fitted to it, and attach the centre column or head to it using the provided screw adaptor. This is a quick and easy operation and just as quick and easy to reverse.All in all, I’m absolutely over the moon with this tripod. A lot of thought has clearly gone into its design and it is clearly built to last. Its outstanding quality, and very competitive price, means that this will be just one of many products that I’ll purchase from K&F Concept. I would most definitely recommend this product for photographers, videographers and vloggers alike.

I've got a few other lightweight/portable tripods for this price range, and they've all exceeded my expectations - everything felt extremely solid. On the other hand, this tripod feels like it should cost half the price that it does.In one solid piece as you pull it out of the bag, it looks and feels sturdy, but when you start to assemble it, its easy to notice all the poor tolerances. It's not every part, maybe only 30% of the entire tripod feels janky, but thats more than I'd expect at this price. The clips that hold the legs in position move almost an entire inch without any tension on them, the knobs that let the legs fall out and lock feel like you can easily pop them off, and when extended outwards, the tripod head doesn't really feel like it locks in place unless you torque the main knob down.At the end of the day, it works, and the flaws I mentioned haven't really interfered with anything other than my confidence in the unit, so I don't think I should take off more than one star, but at the same time, its definitely not a 5 star tripod at this price in my opinion.

This is a hell good quality piece of equipment. Even though I didnt quite figure out how to use it like "T" shape yet, it is even quite sturdy and useful for everyday use. Comes with carrying bag, quite small when folded and not very heavy. Arrived next day and made me so happy

I'm a part-time photographer, I mainly do architecture and interior photography, but whenever I can I like to look for locations for landscape, nature, long exposure and night photography.

So far I've been running a Vanguard Alta with a ball joint replaced and a leveling pad attached, but I needed something more stable, sturdy and taller. There are many varieties of models and brands of tripods, but if we go to the best-known brands, the prices skyrocket and they are not always as good as expected.

Also, buying a tripod online without being able to test it is risky, but 3 or 4 years ago I started trusting the K&F Concept brand and to date they have not disappointed me. I have a backpack, filters, led lights, even other travel tripods that I love. So I decided to try this model that also has an incredible working height.

Well, after trying it I have to say that I really liked it. As usual in the brand, the tripod comes with a very resistant carrying case of good quality. The tripod is made of aluminum, not very heavy but enough to provide stability and security to a professional camera.

I like it because just extending the legs puts the camera at eye level (I'm 1.93m), and just picking up the last section of each leg puts the camera at an excellent height for taking indoor photos (1 ,40m approx). In addition, it has a central column with two sections that, in addition to gaining height, can be turned 90 and left completely horizontal. As you can see in one of the photos, the fully extended and vertical tripod reaches the height of a mini-basketball basket (approximately 2.40 m). The head is very fluid and I find it perfectly usable for tracking and panning for video.

It features 4 sections on each leg, plus one of the legs can be easily detached and used as a monopod. The head is resistant and supports SLR cameras with professional lenses, up to 10 kg, in my case with my heaviest camera and lens, it doesn't even get messy.

I still need to find the ideal day to try it on a long exposure photo of the milky way, but from what I've tried so far it seems like a perfect tripod for everything and at a fairly reasonable price. In other brands it would not be unusual for them to ask you for twice the money to have the same thing. Highly recommended.

I've had a few different tripods over the years at different price points but this is by far the best!Being a wedding and lifestyle photographer I use it in so many different settings and it doesn't fail! Each leg is individually adjustable meaning no matter the terrain you can make it level and sturdy.I love that all the connectors move so smoothly and the whole kit is incredibly robust and yet very lightweight. It all folds up neatly into the one bag/case that I've shown in the photos.The top arm can extend to a 90 degree angle which is brilliant for taking photos of flat lays etc without the legs of the tripod being in shot.Another little extra that I like is a small spirit level on the top connector just so you can make sure everything is level before you attach your camera.The tripod has a wieght hook underneath for added sturdiness in extreme conditions and one of the legs also detaches to become a monopod!Overall this tripod is an excellent bit of kit and I have been very impressed with every aspect of it especially at under £100!So if you're looking for a reliable and versatile tripod this is the one for you!

K&F concept aluminium tripod with 180 degree tiltover camera head

Summery: Lightweight, sturdy, the tiltover head gives a special feature I wanted.

I own quite a few tripods and camera mounts because I have so many cameras so this one joins my collection for a special reason which I will explain in a short while.

The model is KF-TM2515T

It has 4 part telescopic legs that extend to a give a maximum tripod height of 6o inches, the legs can be used in 3 different angle positions which is adjusted using the red button at the top of each leg, there is no central connector so each leg angle can be set individually.

The centre column is in 2 parts, the outer part can be height adjusted while the second section can not only be extended vertically but it can also be tilted over 180 degrees, it was this feature that made me decide to add this to my collection, more on that in a while.
As with a lot of tripods you can invert the centre column to allow low level and macro shooting, but the tillable section adds a little extension to give a different view than one bound to the centre, you can even make an ad-hoc slider shot by slowly moving the bar along the centre column.

The tripod head is a standard 3/8 thread panning ball-head type that are found on many of my tripods, I like ball-heads for my smaller cameras. It has an Arca-Swiss type quick release clamp with a bubble for camera levelling.

The tripod is lightweight, strong, it folds down pretty small and comes with a strong looking zipped case with straps so for general purpose use it is great, with the added tilt feature to give some extra creative assistance.

Now the reason I bought this particular tripod…..I need to be able to mount 2 cameras on one tripod properly, and this tripod helps me do just that with a little bit of extra kit.
The end of the centre bar has a small plastic cap screwed into it, when taken away a 3/8 thread is revealed, most of my tripod centre column have this, it is usually there to hold the sandbag hook screw. So by using a short 3/8 inch threaded bar and an extra ball-head I can make a double tripod. Fantastic and very useful to save space when shooting.

One leg can also be removed and used with the centre column as a monopod but I already have monopods so I will not be using that feature with this tripod.

I had no idea tripods could be so expensive, but I guess this is one of those items that really says you get what you pay for! A cheap camera tripod we just bought a few years ago recently broke so we decided to invest in a sturdy professional tripod. One that would be durable enough to last us for years to come and would be able to hold our camcorder and would also be compatible with our mirrorless camera and a DSLR camera in case we decide to get one in the future. We wanted to get a reliable tripod in time to capture images to see Comet Neowise which only orbits the sun every 7,000 years, so it's a once in a lifetime experience. Unfortunately, it was too foggy and there were too many clouds the two times we went into the mountains, but this tripod held up like a champ in cold 50 degrees Fahrenheit and windy conditions. The instructions say not to use it in temperatures below minus 40 degrees or above 100 degrees. The tripod is made of sturdy aluminum alloy tubes. The KF-28 metal ball head has a maximum load capacity of 22 pounds and can be rotated 360 degrees, which can easily hold a heavy DSLR camera and provide excellent panoramic shooting. Make sure not to exceed the specified maximum load. This tripod is easy to set up by simply flipping the legs the opposite way and using the clamps to secure it in place. There are four (4) leg sections and the knob allows you to adjust the height. The height with the two (2) center column sections can be extended to 93.8 inches, which is tall enough to take large group shots from a bird's eye view. The height without the column reaches 67.7 inches. There is also a lightweight and detachable monopod that can extend up to 98.4 inches for your various photography needs. For panoramic shots, the center column moves from 0 to 180 degrees and can be rotated 360 degrees horizontally. This also comes with a nice, durable carrying case to protect your tripod and make it portable for travel. The case also has a strap that you can use to carry over your shoulder for convenience. My only complaint is the weight. As it is heavy duty it weighs just over six (6) pounds which is heavier than most tripods but it is definitely the best looking tripod we have owned and you can tell by the high quality and details. When my husband uses it for filming with our camcorder it is very stable and I'm sure it will last us for many years!
