This is the most adaptable tripod I have ever seen. First of all, it is extremely tall. I'm 6'3", and when it's fully extended I can't reach the camera button to take a picture. If I wanted to take a picture with a crane with whatever I had handy , that's what I would use I could actually I use the remote I bought with my camera years ago The monopod option seems a bit fancy but if I had just enough room to pack one (pod?) be both It has a 90 degree joint so I can get those product shots up and down, and it even comes with a ball joint mount so I don't don't have to tie my own head. Speaking of the ball mount, it has very smooth movement, so if I wanted to (and you have sufficiently steady hands) I could use it as a stable axis for panning and tilting shots. On top of all that, the legs are set wide apart, so not only can I get extremely high shots, but I can also use it as a very low tripod that keeps the camera inches off the ground. With the 90-degree angled arm, I can even hold the camera sideways and rotate it upside down with the ball-and-socket mount that keeps it nearly level with the ground. The legs spread quite well. I've used legs with a softer action, but they're not bad. It is lightweight and with the bag it is easy to carry. It only remains to talk about the solidity. I would call it mostly rugged. I would trust it to hold my camera, but in windy weather there will be movement in the shot. I can feel a little squirming, and there's more with her fully extended. If I was using it for long exposure photography, I would throw sandbags on the hook. Overall a great tripod for anyone looking for an all in one solution. Highly recommended. a great tripod for anyone looking for an all-in-one solution. Highly recommended. a great tripod for anyone looking for an all-in-one solution. Highly recommended.

Hello dear buyer, My current rating is not a rating for professionals. I bought an expensive tripod based on the logic "higher price - better quality". And I was not disappointed. I am completely satisfied. Sincerely, Nikolas E.

I recently purchased this tripod and it is definitely what I was looking for! I am a Youtube content creator and was looking for an affordable upgrade. What interested me the most was the horizontal function. I usually need a bird's eye/overhead view not only for my videos but also for photography, this feature will be very useful. This tripod offers many other options that I look forward to using. For example, the head can pan very smoothly, which will be great for panoramic shots or a cinematic feel. I was blown away how high you can extend the tripod, which will be amazing for photography or events. Turning the tripod into a multi-angle or a monopod depending on your needs is quite simple with the user's friend's guide brochure. It includes a travel case that is perfect for storing or taking on the go. It is not too heavy but still very solid. If you need more support, you can easily attach a sandbag/weight to the hook at the bottom. All in all, I highly recommend this tripod to any photographer/video maker. It's a great professional tripod that's well built but won't break the bank. Not too heavy but still very sturdy.

I bought this tripod to complement my newly acquired Canon M50.
I have different tripods for different devices, but I wanted something better for the camera. I was also interested in a special feature of this tripod that you don't always find. More about that in a moment.
The tripod was delivered quickly and packed quite small, which surprised me at first.
As it is designed as a travel tripod, it is sold with a small sturdy bag.
It fits neatly into this, if it is folded correctly. More about that in a moment.
The three telescopic legs can be extended three times. They are locked with a twist lock. It holds tightly and is easy to adjust continuously.
There are small rubber feet at the ends that guarantee a non-slip, stable stand.
The angle of inclination of the legs to the centre column is adjusted with a lock that can be easily released. This also allows the legs to be raised completely upside down on the centre column.
This adjustment is needed for two different settings, and these are the two I mentioned earlier.
Firstly, it allows the tripod to be folded smaller than if you only retract the three legs completely. And only then, and after another little trick, does it fit into the bag. (Instructions are enclosed)
On the other hand, this is necessary if you want to use the option I mentioned, which is not often found on tripods. The centre column can be removed and inserted the wrong way round, allowing you to attach the camera underneath the tripod, e.g. for shooting from below or close to the ground.
This is very practical and opens up completely new possibilities for adjusting the camera.
The centre column itself can be extended twice, with another joint in the middle.
This allows the upper part of the centre column and the head to be tilted steplessly via a ball joint at an angle from vertical to 90 degrees. At a 90 degree angle, the camera looks down vertically from above on a corresponding motif. This option was important to me personally. When I wanted to have this setting, with my other tripods it was and is always a fiddly thing.
This ball joint can also be rotated around its own axis on the centre column and also locked in place.
At the end is the completely removable and replaceable head.
This also has a locking option around its own axis, as well as another ball joint with which the mounting plate can be rotated 360 degrees and tilted slightly. There is also a recess at one point, which can be used to tilt 90 degrees.
All of this is securely fastened with a locking screw.
For better orientation and adjustment, the head has a degree marking, with an arrow.
The camera mount has a small spirit level and a quick release for the camera. (with bow on the screw).
This is inserted into two jaws and tightened. It's very easy and holds great.
I have different shapes of this mount on my tripods and I like the K&F one best.
The tripod can be extended up to 154 cm and weighs 1.6 KG.
The removable head can also be used as a monopod in combination with one of the legs.
The range of variations, the quality of workmanship and the price go well together. I am very satisfied with the tripod and use it not only for photography but also for filming.
It can be stored in a space-saving way and is therefore comfortable when travelling.
I am very satisfied with it and can only recommend it.

After purchasing our first kf concept tripod we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the materials, the solidity and the value for money. So we decided to renew the tripods in our studio. As soon as we bought it we put it to the test with two sets of studios and it proved to be as good as we expected!
In the box we find our tripod , carrying bag , always useful in case of travel where you need to bring a studio tripod , and ... .
The tripod is very compact, when closed it measures only 40cm, which makes it ideal to be transported on photographic trips and long journeys, its lightness makes it easy to carry and to put in a luggage in case of air travel. Fully extended it reaches a height of 154 cm and thanks to its 5 sections it can be adjusted with good precision. The 5 section extenders are screw fasteners, we usually tend to prefer the hook fasteners but these have proved to be very practical, just take them all together with one hand and in one movement they can all be unscrewed, great for those who need to extend the tripod quickly. As in many tripods you have the possibility to unhook one of the legs and make it become a monopod, very quick on this tripod but the fixing system is really good and the grip on the unscrewing pod makes it very comfortable to use.
Let's move on to the ball head, which allows excellent flexibility in shooting, reaching any desired angle and being able to rotate 360°. The base of the head in turn has the possibility of having a fluid 360° rotation, useful both for panoramas and for videos, where the graduated scale at its base becomes very convenient. The release plate is good, even if it is made of plastic. But we come to the real highlight of this tripod, the transverse column, is in fact the main reason why we bought this tripod, the ability to move from the area where the feet of the tripod would be in the view and shoot perpendicularly downwards. Good extension, allows you to work easily with vertical shots on many surfaces, tables, floors, as well as to shoot from elevated ledges without risking the equipment or having to lean out personally, also great when you shoot by reversing the tripod in order to reach perspectives otherwise impossible.
PRO
Transverse column
Ball head
Lightness
Compactness
COUNTER Nothing major, the lightness means it's counterbalanced if you're outdoors or shooting with heavy equipment but that's even with high end and much more expensive tripods
WOULD YOU RECOMMEND
This tripod at a very affordable price point is definitely one of the best if not the best on the market, complete with every feature a tripod should have in 2019 it offers everything at a hyper competitive price, the quality is great and the tripod passed our tests with flying colours, obviously all in relation to the price. Excellent alternative to much more expensive tripods, recommended for amateur and professional photographers but also for those who want a tripod that can be used to make videos on youtube, even for unboxing and overhead shots!

I finally found a tripod with a built-in monopod that replaces my selfie stick. It is possible to take pictures with the Pentax from a height of approx. using the remote control. What's also important to me is the camera's smooth, wobble-free panning for capturing wildlife and landscapes. Works very well. Thanks to the ball joint, the Pentax can be adjusted and locked in any position in no time. And thanks to the rotating center post, the camera can also hold a few millimeters above it for ground shots without me having to lie in the mud or have the DSLR touch it. The materials used make a very good impression on me.
