K&F Concept 64 inch/162cm DSLR Tripod,Lightweight and Compact Aluminum Camera Tripod with 360 Panorama Ball Head Quick Release Plate for Travel and Work B234A1+BH-28 (TM2324)
SKU: kf09.007
I must say that K&F earned my trust with my order to this item!Now I have little to say about the tripod because I am still a starter photographer (and my opinion must not be valid to an experienced tripod user), still I can give you some hints about this Tripod.1) The Tripod is really really beautiful it looks exactly as the image shows (model 62'' Aluminium), and I am loving it the design of the buttons (that adjust the angle of the legs) and adjustments of center tube height.2) The Tripod is strong and stable, I open the legs with full length extension and it still gets fixed to the ground very steady.3) The ball-head is just amazing!! I can flip my camera 90 degrees (of course I don't really need 90º, I am just saying its possible) pointing the sky to shoot my stars photos !4) The ball-head has a very accurate control to be rotated 360º degrees, it's just so smooth and nice to rotate it, I love it.5) The installation of the camera in the ball-head is so so easy ! I kept attached the small adapter below my camera, so every time I use the tripod I just need to fit inside the ball-head adapter and it's done (it's like 5 seconds, maybe less).6) The installation of the Tripod is really really easy! I am such a novice at this, but still I got the tripod fully extended in less than 1 minute. And I did this while I was discovering the main functionalities of the Tripod.7) The tripod itself is really intuitive to use, you don't even need to go look into the manuals or tutorials on how to use it!8) And last thing to note, is the lightness of the Tripod ! It's so stable and still is so freaking light ! it's amazing for me to carry it around the woods at night!!!I would like to end this review saying that for this price I can assure you that you won't find anything better !! I was searching for something like this at this price for weeks...Thank you so much KentFaith (K&F - Concept) for this perfect item at such a good price!!

Unexpected quality...for the price this tripod was marked up for i was expecting a basic piece of equipment that would be good enough for my amount of use however was met with a rather large surprise.The build quality of this is second to none and even the box feels like you have a quality product in hand. It comes with it's own comfortable carry case that has a basic handle and an added shoulder strap concealed inside.The tripod itself...the screw mount fits both my dslr camera and the attachment for the Gopro and has a quick release so you can take the camera in hand without spinning it round on the screw to get it off for smart continual filming. Since my gopro gets the most use i have attached photos showing this connected. It is simple to use, the mount has a spirit level to work with the ball adjustment to get your images perfectly straight or on whatever angle you're looking for. The main stem can be flipped so to mount the camera "upside down" lower down and between the legs of the tripod. The legs themselves...solid...what more can i say, the build quality here still feels excellent with three varying angles and are easy to adjust. One of the legs has a comfortable grip for moving the tripod about while the camera is attached which is a nice feature and as well as the varying angles have multiple varying heights. In order to change the height the legs have clip locks rather than the twist locks which i prefer and work well with no give or concerns of them slipping.It is lightweight for the size of the tripod and folds small enough to use in the handy carry case or to fasten to the side of your camera bag whichever most convienent. It works well and is a solid build and would be good enough for amateurs and professionals a like with no worries about it's durability, in my opinion it is built for purpose and built to last and my review still does not do it enough justice.

Couldn't wait to receive this tripod. It is very stable even when the legs are fully extended on its lowest setting, which by the way is extremely low. This was the main draw for me when researching for a versatile tripod for use with landscape and portrait photography. The heights this tripod covers will enable you to achieve almost all compositions you could ever want. Just see how I've set the tripod up in the attached photo whilst testing its ultra low angle capabilities where it performed very well indeed. The ball head of the tripod is good however the bubble level is hidden when your camera is attached and needs to be levelled before attaching the camera unless you have a separate spirit level attachment for your camera. This bubble is also of no use when the central column is inverted for extremely low angle compositions, or in "macro" setup, as shown in my attached photo, as you simply can't see it. Panning is smooth and tension on the ball is controlled using the securing screw and all works perfectly well. It also has a protective bag for the ball head which is a nice touch. It is very lightweight and easy to carry with it's foam grip on one of the legs, and it folds down extremely small and compact thanks to the legs folding back 180° on themselves. The only thing i would have liked included is a seperate short axial column as included in the TM2515 and some of K&F's other higher spec tripods as this would allow for an even lower upright position for your camera without having to invert the central column. This would make ultra low angle shots easier as once inverted your camera is upside down, which makes using the controls on the top of your camera a little awkward. Though with practice this would become much easier and using a shutter release cable would also make it easier. Seeing the lcd screen on your camera is also a bit of a pain at such low angles but getting low down is just one of them things you have to do sometimes to get the composition that you need and is well worth it for a composition that stands out. Overall for a very stable, extremely versatile tripod, which comes with a good ball head and which offers such ultra low angle compositions. Is very portable and for just under £54. This comes highly recommended and I believe it is unmatched in terms of value for money and quality at this price range. The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is the lack of a short axial column and the spirit level on the ball head being hidden by the camera. I wish I'd bought it bundled with the K&F bag as K&F Concept obviously produce products of very high quality.

When purchasing a tripod there is always this conflict between light weight and high quality.Everyone wants a top notch heavy duty stable tripod but this comes at the cost of portability and flexibility.BEST OF BOTH WORLDSI’m happy to say I’ve finally found a solution, after a few bad purchases through the years.I do a lot of video work so I end up carrying a lot of equipment around. This tripod is now my go to stand for my DSLR on smaller projects. No point breaking my back carrying around my big rig, as much as I like to have all the options.STURDYI’ve used this tripod several time to hold my DSLR static while doing interviews to get another angle and it’s performed flawlessly everytime. It’s steady even without weighing it via the hook.CLIP LEGSI have forever been plagued by tripods with twist adjustable legs, the bane of my existence. The time you spend unscrewing and tightening those legs is a nightmare, especially when clients are impatient. Luckily this tripod comes with clip legs that are a happy medium between loose and reliable underweight. They have yet to slip on me and are easy to adjust in a pinch. Nb. I received this product free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.LOVE :)I’m totally in love with this tripod now and it’s quickly become my favourite, and what about the price! Really can’t go wrong, pick one up – You won’t regret it!

I could not decide at first whether I should invest in a much more expensive brand for a tripod but after carefully reviewing this, I decided to go for it.I recently upgraded my camera to Fujifilm XT4 and so I wanted to buy a tripod that can hold my camera safely. After all, the camera itself and the lens are expensive.For the tripod, my main purpose will be taking family travel photos for our content on Instagram. I must admit, I did not want to actually spend so much money for just a tripod. Also, I knew that I am always careful with my stuffs so I know this will last me long as I care for my things.I haven’t tried this yet apart from putting it beside my travel/camera backpack and I am very pleased as this fits perfectly!It is quite heavy though, I expected this to be lighter. But, since there’s a carry on bag included which is very helpful, I guess I could make it work.The bag that comes with the tripod feels high quality and its thick.UPDATE: brought this out on our first trip in october to kotor & dubrovnik and it worked perfectly, used for making videos and taking photos, here are some samples

I have been using this tripod for almost 3 months and I can say that's this tripod is quality product! Photography is just my hobby that's why I didn't want to spend too much money for new tripod. I found it this tripod on amazon for les then £60 and I give chance to it. It was good idea to do it, because this tripod is great! Look amazing is heavy-duty, very stable, and also very flexible! Very good deal! Good value for money!

This is an amazingly good tripod for the price. It has a lot of features that you normally only find on more expensive tripods like a weight hook, and a smooth rotating base under the ball head to make panoramic photos easier and more level.The tripod has a good weight to it, but isn't too heavy. It's perfect for an amateur photographer to carry around, especially since it comes with a really high quality case. Even the case has a couple of different carrying options. There's a two piece handle that can be attached together to keep the case shut, and there's also a shoulder strap that can be easily removed. In order to add weight for stability, there's a hook on the bottom of the main bar that extends when weight is attached to it. If you're going out to do outdoor shooting, you could just bring a bag with you, load it with a few rocks when you get to your location, and just like that you can add 20-30 pounds to your tripod. Anyone who's used a light tripod understands how frustrating it can be in the wind, and a bit of extra weight in the right location can make a world of difference.The legs fold out to any angle, but they have three different locking positions to keep them from folding back up on you. These locks are very strong, and are completely made of metal. To release them, you just have to take the weight off, pull back on the textured portion, and fold the legs up. If for any reason you need to remove the legs completely, the allen key that you need is included with the tripod. One of the legs has a long foam pad on it, which helps for carrying and adjustment, especially in the cold. There's also a strap attached to the center of the tripod for carrying it without the case if you need to.The center bar has a large, rubber-coated locking ring to keep it from moving. It's really quick and easy to use, and makes on the fly adjustments painless. To use the upside down mount for macro shooting, you just have to unscrew the weight hook, loosen the locking ring, and slide the pole all the way out. Then you can put it in from the other end, and tighten it back down. It only takes a few seconds to do, and gives you a really stable way to shoot either macros, or just get photos/videos from unique angles.The ball mount is a joy to use. So many ball mounts keep flopping around after you've tightened them, but this one locks right where you're holding it. The knob to lock it in place is very large and turns smoothly. It doesn't take a ton of force to lock it in place, and you can lock it just enough to allow it to keep moving with a bit of force if you need to.The tripod uses an Arca Swiss plate to mount your camera, which is great since they're available everywhere. The plate doesn't budge once it's tightened down, and it doesn't take a lot of effort to lock it in place. If something happens that you lose your plate and need to mount your camera before you can get your hands on another plate, you can remove the panoramic adapter and ball plate, flip the mounting screw around, and now you have a standard 1/4" tripod screw to attach your camera to. Of course, you won't have the flexibility that the ball mount gave you, but it's definitely better than nothing.The legs are expandable in three sections, and are held in place by three plastic locks. The locks are fairly strong, but some of them do squeak a bit while opening or closing them. The bottoms of all three legs have non-slip rubber feet on them that work really well, and don't move around on any surface that I've tried them on.This tripod feels like it should cost twice the price being asked for it. I'm sure that there's a big difference between this and a $400 tripod, such as the height or the materials, but for most photographers, this would be an excellent choice. My wife does wedding photography, with me as her assistant, and we plan on getting a lot of use out of this tripod. If anything changes over the course of our usage, I'll update my review right away.I received this tripod at no cost in exchange for an honest review. No guarantee of a positive review was provided, and everything I've written is my genuine opinion.

This is by far the best tripod I own, and let me tell you I own quite a few. It is really light and has a very durable design that helps keep your camera in balance even during strong winds. Such an easy tripod to travel with since its easy to adjust and extremely foldable. It has really strong joints and it doesn’t shake. One simple thing I love about it is the little tip that helps you screw the adapter in your camera. The best I’ve seen. Really can’t fault this tripod and couldn’t recommend it enough.
