The K&F Concept 263A4 comes in a light nylon cinch sack. The tripod is extremely light weight and compact. At its price point it is a great value, other small cheap tripods are not built as sturdy or have the professional features this one has. The ball head is well designed to be lightweight but effective for larger cameras. The leg nuts and leg hinges are made of plastic parts, the good thing is they are lightweight, they are also prone to failure quicker than metal. But again, this type of compromise is expected at this price point.

The 263A4 tripod lacks a hook to help stabilize it by hanging a backpack on it. In fact the center pole does not slide like on most tripods. The pole is in a fixed position, the legs need to be unhinged and bent up to store the unit. This is an extra step when deploying the tripod. I like the lever locks on the legs, these work well, making it very easy to extend the legs with a quick flick.

The tripod is not super stable like my high-end tripods, but it works for time exposures as long as the wind is not too strong. I would not use this for video pans and tilts. The tripod come with an ingenious mobile phone adapter. It collapses to nothing but has a sturdy spring to grip my iPhone 13.

The K&F 263A4 has no become my favorite tripod to attach to my backpack to have when the right photo presents itself.
