I am very happy with the product, it is sturdy and easy to use. The only thing missing is the quick release button, but other than that it is worth the money.

I found myself needing a compact, lightweight tripod that I could carry with me for work which required me to travel via trains or planes.

Straight out of the box I could see that this tripod would give me a nice compact option for travelling. It’s lightweight (weighing just 1.13KG), folds down pretty small (46.5cm) and even comes with its own carry case (which my Manfrotto does not). This tripod comes with a ball-head - a different system to manoeuvre the camera than what I’m used to. I guess I could always look at replacing the ball-head with a 3-way system on this tripod for future use.

Build quality of the K&F Concept tripod is what I would describe as decent but not ground-breaking but at this price point (at the time of writing this - £53.99 on Amazon) you're not going to get carbon fibre or other high quality materials instead you get a magnesium aluminium alloy frame and plastics. Fully extended a camera can be mounted at 156cm which isn't the loftiest of heights but I guess a tripod marketed as being compact isn't going be among the tallest on the market. Having said that, 156cm will probably be tall enough for most situations. The centre column of the tripod can be reverse mounted for macro photography. Similar to all tripods I've ever used, the K&F Concept tripod comes with a quick release plate system where a plate is mounted to the bottom of your camera, this plate has a corresponding part on the tripod which securely attaches the camera to the tripod.

I liked how small and lightweight the tripod is for carrying around. I have to carry a lot of gear with me to shoots so lightening the load a little is always good in my book. Having said that due to the lightweight I wouldn't say that this tripod would hold up well in windy outdoor conditions when shooting landscape photography. For my main uses it performs well and the carry case is a very handy addition. For the price it's certainly a decent option for a photographer that travels a lot.

Overall an excellent product and very good value for money. It can easily support most photographers setups in various aspects to help you get the perfect shot. I would definitely recommend this product.

Hook of shoulder strap is missed. Hope Amazon help me to change it.

I bought this tripod as a birthday present for my sister, as she's seriously into her photography and wanted one to add to her kit of camera stuff. I decided to go for this as it's made of carbon fibre, as opposed to aluminium, and unlike aluminium carbon fibre doesn't rust, so it's ideal for use outdoors, even if it does start raining. The tripod can be adjusted into several different positions in order to gain the best shot - the length of the legs can be individually altered in the event that you have to stand it on uneven surfaces, such as if you're standing it on rocky terrain and need to find a way of standing it so as to get the camera sitting level on the tripod, as opposed to sitting lop-sided. It also comes with a very small shaft that hangs from a chain when it's not being used. All in all I'd say that this is a very well made and well thought out piece of kit - if you're currently split between getting this or opting for one of the cheaper aluminium models then get this - it's well worth the money and you certainly won't regret it.

A little bulky, but... it is really stable.
Pleased that I bought it.

Love this tripod very sturdy and good if you want to use it for bird photography as I do as well as my landscape photography.

Easily out does its price class. A good buy to anyone requiring a cheap and reliable tripod.
