67"/1.7m Carbon Fiber Tripod 22lbs Load Lightweight Travel camera Tripod with Phone Mount and 6" Magic Arm with Super Clamp Set

Years ago, not knowing what I was looking for, I purchased the Albott 70 inch tripod . It was a good entry-level tripod that is quite traditional with it's pan-and-tilt head and quick release lock. As I started to build out my video and photo equipment (I'm still a total novice), I've found that I needed a tripod that was more compact and sturdy.

This K&F Concept TM2515M1 tripod is certainly not professional level, but it is a good travel tripod. With a ball joint, and a screw-lock plate, I found that it is more versatile than the Albott tripod. With the orange highlights, it is also much better looking.

I've included a few pictures comparing the two tripods. As you can see, with the K&F tripod, I do not compromise on any of the features of the other tripod while gaining a more compact and sturdy frame. The build quality of the K&F is great. All parts are metal and the tripod legs are tightly screwed, giving it a very secure feel.

From the pictures, you can see that compared to the traditional tripod, the head is smaller and easier to pack away, without that long handle to get in the way. The maximum height is comparable to my old tripod, but when packed away, the K&F is much smaller. The carrying case is also more rugged. It has a heavy-grade nylon and the zipper is nice and big. What I'm losing compared to the traditional tripod is the monopod height but I'm not a tall guy, so I would never use the mono fully extended anyway.

The K&F has the upside-down feature that is common among tripods of this kind. It allows one to shoot videos and pictures from a much lower angle without risking the safety of the camera. I can imagine a low-to-the-ground timelapse on the bank of a river looking at boats on the river.

Form really follows function on this one. The orange highlights accentuate all the joint locations and the all round design gives this tripod just a sleek look overall.

I'm quite satisfied with my purchase and the sub-100 dollar price that was exactly what I was looking for.

I am really happy that I received it on the third day of my purchase and I am very satisfied with Black Friday's delivery service,I am a professional architecture and interior photographer and also do videography. Was looking for a tripod that is light yet stable and sturdy (since my equipment can be heavy i.e. tilt shift/telezoom lenses, and expensive). This K&F tripod ticked all the boxes and the price point is perfect.

This tripod has an excellent and smooth quick release system which is important for me especially when moving from location to location during the critical lighting window for outdoor shots.

The tripod's height is impressive and it can be extended with an option to attach additional weight at the centre of gravity point to make it even more secure.

The tripod's colour is vibrant and the finishing is smooth.

I personally prefer twist locks for the tripod legs, although this is definitely a matter of personal preference. The legs can also be extended outwards using the quick release clip to have an even lower height. This may be particularly helpful when trying to get a lower vantage point for artistic reasons, such as when focussing on the foreground.

Would definitely reccomend as a studio or outdoor tripod or even for events and travel! Carbon fiber tripods are ideal for travelling.

bought the carbon tripod because I finally wanted a ball head :-). The tripod is incredibly light and still very stable. Screw caps are easy to open and then tighten again. The camera looks great on the ball head and is super adjustable. The fixing screws are smooth and very easy to fix. When the camera is connected to the ball head holder with the plate, the bubble level is on the side of the screen, which I think is ok. BUT the button to secure the plate is on the side of the lens. With my Sigma, however, the thumbwheel is almost on the lens. There are only tenths to hundredths between the knob and the lens. Otherwise the tripod is a recommendation: - Weight - Stability - Size - Flexibility - Quick deployment

A great, high quality tripod. What I really like about this sort of design is that the camera can actually be positioned very low to the ground which is perfect for my passion of taking snaps of birds and wildfowl at Slimbridge. With this, I no longer need to lie on my stomach to get the right shot!

I am very much into river photography in various towns and cities up and down the UK. London, of course, being one of my favourites! The real advantage of this tripod over my more traditional tripod has to be the possibility to pass the camera through the river railings for greater freedom, as opposed to working around the railings. At its maximum height, it’s mostly over the highest point of any obstruction, which it is ideal. Quality and build is really good.

very good quality and so light

I am very satisfied with the K&F Concept 174cm carbon tripod. It is convincing in all respects. Even the travel bag is of very high quality and made of robust material. The fabric can even be wiped with a damp cloth to remove dirt. The tripod itself is ultra-compact and super-light. The tripod feet can be completely folded down so that it shrinks to a minimum overall length for storage and transport.

I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of my tripod. I needed a tripod that was able to be compact but also be versatile at the same time. It comes with a simple carrying bag and can be moved around with ease. It can also change into a single leg stand which is good for shoots where you move around a lot

Amazing little tripod for the money. Yes it is not as large or robust as the more expensive alternatives but it's size and weight make it ideal for those places you just can't get the bigger tripods. And it is much easier to carry around with its own bag. The addition of the smart phone adapter is brilliant and the colours make it a good choice for Sony camera enthusiasts.

I also own a manfrotto tripod but wanted something lighter, this does the trick perfectly but only time will tell how the build quality will last
