68''/1.7m Carbon Fiber Tripod Professional Camera Tripod Capacity 12KG/26.2lbs with 30mm Metal Ball Head Load X254C4+BH-30
SKU: KF09.116
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!

I am very happy with this little tripod. Despite the very small size when folded, the tripod is very large when extended and doesn't really need to hide from the larger tripods. The weight is also very pleasant and it shouldn't be a problem to take it with you in your backpack. In terms of processing, I am also completely satisfied. Everything is made of aluminum and feels high quality.
The scope of delivery also includes a mobile phone holder for the tripod, a carrying case and a Bluetooth remote trigger for the mobile phone. For me, this tripod seems well thought out, with a turn the entire base can be locked. The tripod is an upgrade to the tripod I used before. I can recommend the tripod with a clear conscience.

This model from K&F can be used like a hybrid between a travel tripod and a selfie stick.
The advantage is, on the one hand, the low weight and the compact dimensions (pushed together 30cm), so that it fits well in a (photo) backpack.
A maximum height of 170 cm can be reached as a tripod plus extendable middle rod (which can also be used individually as a selfie stick).
OK, then it becomes slightly unstable for heavy cameras, but as a last resort it works.
But the biggest shortcoming is the ball head; this is designed more for light devices or cell phones.
You can also align the middle pole downwards, so take pictures close to the ground (flowers and small animals, for example).
If you look at the price and performance, you can give it 4 stars, but you shouldn't expect a high-end tripod.

I like using tripods when I'm taking photos at events. This tripod suits my needs very well. It comes with a carry case with short handles or a longer one that I can sling over my shoulder.The tripod height can be adjusted to your needs. The legs have a twist lock at are easy to extend and lock. The feet have a padded rubber that helps prevent the tripod from slipping. One of the legs can be removed to create an adjustable monopod.The top has a level. The metal ball head moves smoothly.The angle of the legs can easily be adjusted. I like that I can easily go from a wide base to a smaller base with easy.Overall this is a great tripod. It is lightweight and easy to set up and tear down.

Great tripod. Fairly well built for the money. Would recommend. I own many tripods. I would rate this 7 out of 10.

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.

The title really says it all but let me break down the best features.1. Carbon fiber makes this tripod strong and VERY light weight. I was really surprised how light it was while still able to support both my Nikon Z7II or Z9 with a heavy duty L-bracket. Some travel tripods dump the weight by using thin legs or plastic hardware. This doesn't do either of those things!2. As mentioned, almost all the non-carbon fiber parts are metal or heavy duty rubber. No cheap plastics or other compromises that limit performance.3. One leg screws off so you can use it as a monopod eliminating the need to carry both when you're packing light.4. It comes with a good ball head. Yes, we all probably have a few of these laying around but in case you don't, this setup comes with a really nice one.5. Comes with a case to keep it protected.OK nothing is perfect and there are a few things I'd like to see improved on but they're all rather minor.1. I'd like both the tripod and the monopod to extend higher. I'm a taller human, I like my gear to extend to at least 6'6" and this is close but not quite there. If that doesn't matter to you, no big deal.2. I'd like a little more rigidity when the tripod is fully extended. This might not be a problem for many people, especially those with lighter gear. Both of my cameras as larger and heavier than most and I have them outfitted with larger pro L-brackets. All this makes them heavy but well within the stated limits.Overall at this price point you're going to be REALLY challenged to find a better tripod for travel use than this one. I'm really happy with it and I'll be using it as my primary travel tripod for the foreseeable future.

Great compact tripod where the legs fold inwards for a smaller design. The leg heights are secured by twisting the lock for each length. I'm happy that this is compatible with my Peak Design's Arca plate so now I can use the clutch without removing it for the tripod. The ball head design is great cause it allows you to set the camera at any angle, including portrait shots. It is nice and sturdy and I am comfortable using it with my other equipment without any fear of it tipping over.
