Carbon Fiber Tripod with Phone Mount 67"/1.7m Max Height 22lbs Load Lightweight Travel Tripod for SLR DSLR, D255C4+BH-28L (SA255C1)

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.

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

am very happy with the K&F Concept 172cm carbon stand. It convinces in every way. Even the travel bag is of very high quality and made of robust material. The fabric can even be wiped off with a damp cloth to remove dirt. The stand itself is ultra-compact and super light. The stand feet can be folded down completely so that they shrink to the minimum total length for storage and transport. On the other hand, the telescopic elements can be extended to an incredible height of over 1.70 m. The stand is very stable and can be adjusted accordingly on all three feet. The adjustment of the stand in balance can be easily seen on the integrated screen. The ball head proves to be extremely practical and is easily adjustable and stable. The quick release plates are great. Either high quality camera or smartphone. The stand is well suited for both and ready for use in no time. The stand is great in price and performance and worth every penny.

very good quality and so light

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.

For the money it’s a very decent tripod, very stable and feels durable and well made, I have not had a chance to use it extensively and certainly hope its as durable as it seems!

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 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.

This tripod can be set up quickly and easily. It is very flexibly adjustable in size up to approx. 171 cm. The individual feet can also be perfectly adapted to different heights. The monopod can be extended up to 181 cm. There is also a small spirit level on the ball head which shows whether the tripod is straight. Since it is made of aluminum, it makes a stable and high-quality impression. As can be seen in the photo, the camera can also be mounted from below (upside down) for close-ups. There is also a practical pouch for transporting it. I can definitely recommend the product because it is very stable and looks good too. It is perfect for every hobby photographer.

Doing a quick review on a Tripod my wife bought for me. As soon as you open the box it is a WOW. Feels very sturdy and comes with a really nice case. The best part is it's size! Comparing it to my old one which was also a gift and you can see the difference :) The locking mechanism at the top is very simple and easy to install and remove. On my old one I lost a part as there were too many little pieces.
