I simply copied the complete text from my YouTube video for you. If you prefer to watch the video "K&F Concept X-Series Carbon Tripod I Is it really a perfect all-rounder tripod?" Enter on YouTube. Or my channel on YouTube - Konstantin Lempe.
The X-Series Carbon tripod with the designation X254C4 - BH-30. It is ultra light, made of carbon and aluminum, it can actually be used anywhere, whether for filming or photography, outdoors or in the studio... it actually covers everything very well.... It is primarily to be found in the semi-professional and hobby sectors. I use it everywhere now. When unpacking, the first pleasant surprise came in the form of a great tripod bag. Also in the box is a shoulder strap for the bag, an Arca Swift tripod plate, Imbus key to adjust the degree of softness on the tripod head when panning, there is a manual for who needs it and of course the most important thing, the tripod itself . It is kept in a beautiful matt black, and all the fasteners are in silver and a good size, which makes the tripod a real eye-catcher alone. If you hold it in your hand, you can tell that it is a high quality product. But let's start with the bag first, and unlike many other tripods, it's not some kind of plastic sack bag. K&F didn't show any weaknesses, on the contrary. All seams on the whole bag are clean, beautiful and well made... It makes a very high quality impression. It is well padded on the inside and you can also attach a carrying strap to the side if you want to put it on your shoulders, for of course, of course, on the go. The tripod weighs just 1.6kg and is made of rubber, carbon fiber and aluminium. There is no plastic used, to my surprise, which makes it not so prone to damage or breakage if it should be dropped, which unfortunately, quite, can happen from time to time. The working height is 1.40 meters when the center column is retracted and when the tripod is fully extended, you get up to 1.72 meters. With the camera on it you can calculate about 10 cm with it. The material is very stiff and light. If you extend the center column completely, absolutely nothing wobbles. According to the manufacturer, you can load up to 12 kg onto the tripod. I tested it with a bit more and even then, to my surprise, the legs didn't give out, they stayed straight, they didn't even buckle or bend slightly. The fastening screw for the middle column is slightly larger, which, in addition to the optical advantage, also has the technical advantage that you can screw it very well, even with large hands, and above all easily and very firmly. The center pillar is also very easy to deploy and retract. Of course, the tripod head can also be rotated 360 degrees and everything goes smoothly, which is a very important point for filmmakers. When panning, you won't see any stuttering in the picture later. It can easily keep up with the by far more expensive tripods. Even there, the panorama button is a bit larger. In general, all the closures on this tripod are a bit larger, which is not only an eye-catcher, but above all in practice, where you need it, it makes locking and opening extremely easy, which in turn means that the size of the all the locking screws makes sense. They're almost the perfect size. This is very well thought out and implemented by K/F Concept. There is a ¼ screw in the tripod plate, ok well, as with all tripod plates, which is actually the standard size on almost every camera, it also has a small rubber coating on top, so that the camera does not slip on the plate can, especially when panning, for example. --- The bracket is of course ARCA-Swift which means that you don't need the plate at all with an L braked grip on the camera, for example. There is also a small water scale on it for the ball head to align. A water scale for the tripod itself, for the legs, maybe on top of one leg as you know it from other tripods, would have been very nice, I would think, at least as a small side note. What I do not consider as a minus to the tripod. If you work a lot with YouTube Shorts or are on the go on Tiktok, you can of course also set the camera upright. It's quick and easy. The leg closures can be easily opened and closed. Due to their size, they are very good and have a good grip and can be opened and closed easily, but not too easily. The tripod is set up very quickly. The legs can be adjusted in 3 different angles. As you know it from other tripods. One can

For a long time I debated whether I needed a tripod at all, and if so, in which price segment I should strike.
Ultimately, I didn't want to invest too much money because I won't be using the tripod very often, but I also wanted to get some quality and portability.
The K&F Concept Carbon tripod from the X - Series described here seemed to meet this requirement...
The tripod is delivered in a beautiful, compact and stable Cordura carrying case. After unpacking, I was initially very surprised at how light the tripod felt and a little worried about the stability it would experience.
The concern is unfounded!
The tripod is of very high quality, all components are very clean and fit together wonderfully.
The legs of the tripod, which can be folded neatly around the center column for transport, are unlocked with a small twist of the rings on the legs and can be easily extended. Another quick twist and they're locked tight.
The center column is stable and contributes to the overall stability instead of worsening it. The fits on the tripod are also very dimensionally accurate, and the components sit neatly together without gaps or wobbling.
The quite compact head from the 30 series is also sufficiently stable and can be easily adjusted, but also locked securely when the camera is aligned.
My heaviest setup weighs around 4kg and is securely supported by both the head and the tripod itself.
If it becomes necessary, the tripod can be weighed down extra on the hook under the center column, e.g. in strong winds or with a very light camera.
A nice added feature is that you can unscrew one of the legs, and then even have a monopod that you can almost carry in your jacket pocket, at least for the weight.
Overall I am very satisfied with the tripod and the head, I still have a solid range of carrying capacity, so that new acquisitions with heavier weight will not be a problem.
The low weight of the tripod guarantees that you can pack it up and take it with you, which was an important argument for me.
The long-term suitability has yet to be proven, but I currently have no concerns that the tripod will do its job.

I‘ve wanted a carbon fiber tripod for a long time and I have a lot of K&F concept equipment and am a huge fan because everything from this brand that I have got has exceeded my expectations of quality. I am absolutely thrilled with this tripod and as a content creator I use it every day. It's replaced my old aluminum one that was still nice, but this is just sooooo nice! Everything works very smoothly and the build quality is excellent and you can just tell the moment you pick it up that it's a high quality product.
How My Star Rating System Works & What They Mean:
1 STAR - Pretty much junk and I would return and ask for a refund if I could.
2 STAR - It works, but barely meets the minimum requirements it should in order to keep it and not return it, but I would not order again.
3 STAR - It does what it was designed to do, but there's nothing really special about it. It's acceptable but not great.
4 STAR - I am very comfortable recommending it to a friend because it is is well made, durable, and delivers on its advertised features, and I would buy it again.
5 STAR - I really love it. The item exceeds my expectations of quality, durability and functionality. Not only would I purchase it again, but I would also actively encourage friends and family to do the same.
All of my reviews are my own personal opinion and are completely honest no matter if I receive an item for free or I pay for it. I am an avid Amazon shopper, as well as an Amazon Vine Voice and I personally rely on reading reviews to make all of my buying decisions, so I understand the importance of honest reviews from my peers.

I loved the stand as it is very easy to adjust and open. takes me 2 minutes to setup. And I am great fan of the phone adapter as it can be removed and used separately on my vlogging tripod as well. This is very helpful for my channel

I’ve used it for 3 days now. So far so good, no problems yet. It looks sturdy. Packaging was great. It was boxed in a bigger carton with inflated plastic in it then the real packaging for the item. I liked that I can use my camera or my phone in it.

Used this for a film camera, worked well! It's not heavy at all but I wish the tripod fit more easily into bags

I love this tripod. Love the leveler that helps me to adjust evenly. It moves great for getting those awkward-positioned shots.
08/02/2023
Absolutely love this. It is perfect for my cameras. I have 2 digital and one 35mm and it works great with all 3. It also has an attachment that works with my Samsung Galaxy S7 cell phone.
