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.

Excellent strong and user friendly

Very impressed with this product, needed a new tripod for ages, it’s light weight, but stable, with quite a few different set ups, making it a very versatile product, not had chance to use it out in the field, though have used it around home, the ball heads are very smooth and feels good when panning. I would highly recommend this tripod, the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because one of the leg locking mechanism is very fiddly, need two hands to release it.

I do some social media content which involves making video clips both inside and outside. I had cheap tripods and selfie sticks before buying this. Great quality and love how high this goes to take pictures above content. Highly recommend, make the purchase.

Does exactly what it’s designed to do

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.

Good sturdy tripod, great vaule for money. Maybe lacks afew pro features but I knew that, but product you get for the price is good.

I'm using this with a Bosch laser tape measure and it works very well. This is very nicely designed and made making it sturdy over a massive rang of heights and angles.

I just recieved my K&F Concept tripod.
The tripod has a solid stance and is build like a tank.
Everything is well designed and built with quality materials.
I was thinking of purchasing a Manfrotto but saved a wack of cash going with the K&F Concept tripod. The K&F is well work the $149 over the Manfrotto for $279.
Very Happy with my purchase.

It has all the features described and in particular I use it with the "giraffe" function to shoot from above

Of course, to understand how it unfolds for the first time, you have to be inventive :)
