The best tripod I've ever used - simply in a different class. Pretty lightweight, both the legs and head of this tripod offer huge flexibility in angle and height, locking securely in place once set. It has a built in level and the camera can also be attached underneath. It pans nicely, so would work nicely as a video tripod as well as its primary purpose for photography. Comes in a nice bag and folds down surprisingly small. Excellent product.

I should start that I'm just a photography enthusiast. I like to capture family moments and take some portraits here and there.It's hard to make your kids to stay still let alone put yourself in the picture! I will finally try to capture some all family portraits (after buying budget backdrop).My 9 year old son immediately stated he will use it for his YouTube channel recording

As a starting occasional photographer. Having a decent tripod makes the difference in taking pictures especially those moment which are "uncaptureable". It is very sturdy as it looks on the picture but did not expect it to be as heavy as it is but carriable which i really like the most because i want to be as steady as possible (the alignment on the tripod helps as well). I am using a cannon eos 800d and setting man-heights on this tripod seems to be a great idea when taking portraits and landscape pictures. I also love how the legs can be adjusted in different angles, so the height of the tripod cannot only be adjusted from the neck but also from the legs. I am overall pleased with the tripod from K&F and would recommend it to my fellow coursemates.

This is a brilliant and more importantly a sturdy tripod.It looks very professional.I put my slr on this and it is great.Overall a top and robust tripod that is good on all surfaces.Brilliant

For this kind of money (a tad under £60 at the time of writing) this K&F Concept 79" Aluminum Tripod and Monopod is fantastic value. Its wonderfully lightweight for such a robust and sturdy tripod. Which, combined with its convenient compact size when folded up, makes it an ideal tripod for carting about. Again for the money its incredibly well made. Everything screws and unscrews nice and smoothly, and hold firmly in place.It has all the adjustment need for a typical outside shoot, and is quick and straightforward to erect and fold up again. I've got tripods costing twice as much which don't come close to this K&F for ease and convenience. If you're after a good quality all rounder I highly recommend checking out this beauty.

This smells of high quality the minute you open the box. The carry bag this comes with is superb. The design and smoothness of the joins is noteworthy. The head is very well designed and i really like this part more than any other. Don't get me wrong i love the rest its stunning and high quality precision engineering. If i could drop half a star i would for the bracket the monopole hand loop under the camera shoe. It isn't made from the same precsion materials. Its plastic and personally i wouldn't trust it not to break., that aside it is absolutely highly recommended and i truly love it. I have several very high spec well known tripods so this review is genuinely well deserved high praise. Andrew

This is a top-quality tri-pod. Straight out of the box I was able to attach my camera and extend it to full height. You will need a remote shutter release if you plan to use the tri-pod fully extended as it will be too tall to reach the shutter button on the camera itself.The camera feels very secure when attached to the tri-pod plate (it comes with a spare in case you are in the habit of using two cameras). The ball and socket style connection means that you can lock the camera into almost any angle and there is a separate control to enable you to twist the camera, in your chosen angled position, round 360 degrees. There are also markings every 5 degrees in case you need them.You will find the tri-pod really useful if you need to do lots of static shooting, but I found it too large and heavy to take on a casual day out with my camera. I also found that I spent much longer setting up a single shot than just using the camera alone and relying on the balance indicators on screen. If you need to take fairly repetitive shots, this will be perfect because you can ensure consistency.If you need a good quality tri-pod, I would happily recommend this one.

Review of the K&F Concept KF-28 Tripod.This is my third tripod. Ignoring my first, my previous one was a Giotto MH5011. My first thoughts were less weight in the KF-28 was welcome. My present SLR camera is close to a whopping 1.6kg weight, lens and all, so I am mindful of my overall kit weight. That being noted, my camera is old stock and newer cameras will have a different feel on this rig.The packaging was excellent and the mini-case welcome – I had to buy my previous case separately at some cost. Very pleasant to have the full kit to go, backstrap and handles too. Well done K&F.I liked the black with red flashes design and was pleased to see the bottom hook for stabilizing. I use mine to keep stuff off the ground, or within my workspace in public areas. Just me? The legs handle well and intuitively. Not being one to read manuals (even though this one comes with 4-sided A5 leaflet in English) I twisted and turned knobs until I understood what they did. My only reference need was the base column lock.This is the first ball rig I’ve had hands on. I was looking forward to the angles. My camera was too weighty for my Giotto to handle 90o tilt, or any tilt much. The KF-28, at first, seemed no better. Perhaps my girly hands or just overcaution but I wasn’t tightening the knobs and screws sufficiently. I had to resort to screwing the baseplate to my (hefty) camera with a coin but it all came together in the end. I wouldn’t like to be doing all that on a shoot at night though. Advance learn the equipment, people. At max height it will fill a door frame and in extreme it seems more delicate than it probably is. It will also meet tabletop requirements but as an eye-line type photographer that’s fine with me.At less than half the price of my Giotto, and that was 10 years ago money, I would have welcomed this tripod back then over other name brands. I have a feeling we are going to be good friends for a long time.

It’s difficult to know where to start because this tripod has so many features. Ok starting off with the basics you have a tripod that will fold up into about a 48cm length for storage in the bag provided making it very compact. At the other end of the scale, when fully extended this tripod will reach up to just over 2m tall!Each leg is tipped with a rubber foot giving a sturdy base that won’t slip, however you can remove these rubber feet to reveal metal points if that’s what you need. The legs come in three extendible sections of around 30cm each so setting this tripod to the perfect height is just a matter of extending each leg to the length you want, and the adjustments are made using very easy but secure push/pull clips. One leg has a neoprene grip on it to make for easier carrying when not in the case, although there’s also a short wrist-style carry strap attached just below the head of the unit. Other nice touches like a sprung loaded hook at the base of the central stem mean you could even do things like hang an extra weight from it for extra stability in windy conditions.The business end of the tripod (all of which can be disassembled into component parts) has a rotating ball head that can be quickly slackened and tightened. The lower sleeve can be rotated through 360º and is also marked in 5º segments for reference. The ball itself articulates to pretty much any angle you want and even includes a notch in the sleeve for tilting over at 90º. The shoe can be removed for attaching to our camera and then replaced and also features a slider that can be moved 1cm in either direction. The head of the tripod also features a circular spirit level for getting the perfect horizontal adjustment. The only thing is lacks is an extended handle which would make it easier to make fine adjustments when set up, as it is you’d have to hold the camera itself and move it. Not sure if there's a workaround as the supplied adjusters are all 'captive' so can't be replaced.The carry case has a single compartment and comes with both hand carry handles as well as a shoulder strap. My only observation is that when using the shoulder strap the zip is on the underside of the case so make sure the zip is fully closed!Stylish, robust and able to set your camera to pretty much any height and angle you want, this is the perfect camera accessory. It lacks an extended handle for fine adjustments or moving the head for videoing but at this price it's still a winner for me.

Light and easy to put in your case when you go traveling. No problems so far with this camera tripod.
