I love it. I was worried that because it's lightweight it would be flimsy but no, it's very sturdy and built to a high quality. I have a DSLR camera but mostly use my iPhone. I love that it can hold my phone. If you like to make videos, I definitely recommend it. It's very portable and fits perfectly in my backpack.

am a professional architectural and interior photographer and also do videography. I was looking for a tripod that is lightweight yet stable and sturdy (since my gear can be heavy, e.g. tilt-shift/telephoto zoom lenses, and expensive). This K&F tripod ticks all the boxes and the price is perfect. This tripod has an excellent and smooth quick release system, which is especially important for me when moving from place to place during the critical light window for outdoor shooting. The height of the tripod is impressive and the ability to add extra weight at the center of gravity point means it can be extended to make it even more secure. The color of the tripod is vibrant and the build quality is smooth. I personally prefer twist locks for the tripod legs, although this is definitely a matter of personal preference. The legs can also be extended outward using the quick release clip to achieve an even lower height. This can be especially helpful if you're trying to get a lower angle of view for artistic reasons, such as when you're focusing on the foreground. Would definitely recommend it as a studio or outdoor tripod, or even for events and travel! Carbon fiber tripods are great for traveling.

The tripod is two pounds lighter than the one I've been using, and much shorter when folded up. I really like that! However, when I tilt the camera head toward the locking nut, it can interfere with the base of the quick release plate. I found that you can pull out the spring loaded handle to reposition its position, but there are two problems with doing that. 1. It's tedious and hard to get in there with my large hands, and; 2. I'm right handed and it seems like the handle is attached on the wrong side. I have to work it with my left hand. Flipping the camera over to swing the handle to the right brings it in front of the camera where it's hard to see, not to mention that the ball slot (used to release the ball stem and tilt the camera forward) is now on the back of the camera. There it's pretty much useless unless you're taking photos of the sky. I considered swapping the Manfrotto ball head from my other tripod since it has the clamping handle on the back and is easy to access, but I felt like I would lose the weight advantage, so I probably wouldn't have bought it if I had known how inconveniently placed all the control/clamping handles were, but again, I like the weight savings. WEEKS LATER: After using this tripod for a while, I'm getting used to avoiding the design issues that caused the glitches. However, as a product designer myself, I realize that "workaround" shouldn't be in a designer's vocabulary. K&F contacted me and told me they discussed the design issues with the team, so I've added a star to the review.

I am sending you a photo, which is perhaps the most important reason. The opportunity to bring the whole family together, including the "photographer"...

I couldn't spend a lot of money on a tripod, but I wanted something that would hold up and be reasonably light. So far, this has worked really well. It's light and sturdy when I do my landscape photography. It's easy to use and folds up nicely. pack down small enough to attach to my Mindshift Photocross 10 shoulder bag. For someone on a budget who can't spend more than $200 on a tripod, this is a good solution.

Universal 3-in-1 tripod.

Safely packed in a printed box without foam inserts. Inside is the tripod with bag, good smartphone clamp (Fig. 10), two Allen keys, a remote control with loop (battery inserted) and two instructions (Fig. 1 and 9), in English but good. Ultimately, it is a combination of mostly aluminum or light metal and various plastic parts and is designed so that it can also be used as a knuckle tripod (Fig. 2). To do this, the end cap must first be unscrewed (Fig. 11). In terms of size, it can be used as a travel tripod, at just under 900 g, but not as a lightweight one, due to the fairly solid overall design. The locking of all tripod legs is not done via corresponding levers, but by turning (Fig. 2 and 3). If you are not used to this, you will fiddle around with it a bit at first. I cannot currently say how durable the grey plastic bushings are in the long term (Fig. 3). The steps of the legs are locked using a clamp lock below the notches (Fig. 5). The clamp lock has to be pulled out for this, and as it is very tight, it can quickly cost a fingernail. The ball head is good average, but compared to the total price of the tripod it is good to very good (Fig. 6). Due to the overall construction, the tripod allows for quite a lot of variation (Fig. 7 and 8). Let's also come to use with a DSLR. As Fig. 7 and 8 show, this is quite possible up to the use of medium-sized DSLRs with lenses that are not too heavy, but here you have to tighten the rotary knob to fix the ball head quite firmly, but it works. However, I would not go above a maximum height of around 1.20 - 1.30 meters with a DSLR, as I fear that the rather thin legs will cause vibrations. With a mirrorless DSLR, this problem is eliminated, but not the risk of not being as stable at setting heights of over 1.30 m. Summary: I think the price of around €40 is more than fair given the mix of materials and the quality of workmanship. At around 900g, it is not a light tripod, but it is compact, so perhaps more of a handy outdoor hiking tripod than a vacation tripod. Can be used well up to medium-sized DSLRs with lenses that are not too heavy. Almost a bit oversized for smartphones and normal compact cameras. The option to use it as a knuckle tripod is great. So, all in all, for me, at this price, it is a very good tripod that deserves 5 stars from one point of view.

The ALWAYS WITH YOU tripod - small and fine tripod that accompanies me always and everywhere My test refers to the following product: K&F Concept 3 in 1 Lightweight Tripod, 170cm New Cell Phone Tripod Camera, Eccentric Tube Selfie Stick, Flexible Camera Tripod, E224A3+BH-18 Black Material, first impression and test: The tripod is quite light, consists of an aluminum and plastic mix and has a 1/4 inch connection thread. Included is a cell phone holder, a small Bluetooth remote control for selfies, two Allen keys, a protective and transport cover and instructions. The tripod makes a really good impression and you wouldn't have expected it for this low price. I'm pleasantly surprised :-) The pack size is 30 cm. Fully extended, it has a length of 170 cm - with 4 segments. Smallest size 35 cm. The tripod weighs 880 grams and therefore fits in every backpack and bag. The tripod can be used very well for small cameras and also for cell phones. The manufacturer states a load capacity of up to 4 kg. The tripod can bear this weight, of course. However, I would not go to this limit when the tripod is fully extended. In windy conditions it gets a little unstable and the tipping point is quickly reached. However, when the center column is retracted, the tripod is very stable and you can screw on and use binoculars as well as cameras. I also really like the selfie stick. The center rod is extended for this. And you can then use the remote control to take pictures. Conclusion: For the low price, you get a very good and high-quality "ALWAYS WITH YOU" tripod. I recommend buying it with 5 stars. PS: If I notice anything positive or negative during the test period, I will add to this review!

The tripod comes in a cardboard box with a small Bluetooth remote control and a cell phone holder. A black (plastic) fabric bag is also included for everyday transport. Fortunately, the cell phone holder is not a "standard 0815" holder, but a collapsible one with two 1/4 inch threads. This is deep enough to hold a Samsung S10 with a thick Spigen cell phone case securely. The tripod itself can be folded in and out in many different ways. By loosening two screws, the tripod can be turned into a selfie stick that can be extended three times. The mechanism can be loosened and fastened by turning. The ball joint makes a neat and stable impression, but it is a bit of a shame that the lock nut is not rubberized, but in the worst case metal hits metal. The same extension mechanism as in the selfie stick is also found in the three legs, which allows the tripod to be extended to a considerable total size of 1.70m. The stability is guaranteed for smartphones as well as compact cameras (and possibly smaller system cameras).

The assembly was a bit complicated but I was able to do it myself without looking at the included instructions. I noticed that the whole tripod looks really high quality and is surprisingly heavy in the hand. This is a testament to quality and after setting up the tripod nothing wobbled or anything like that. - Allen keys and other accessories for setting it up are also included for assembly. Mounting the smartphone holder worked without much hassle and the long, extendable tube can also be used as a selfie stick when you're on the go. A small bag was also included in which the entire tripod arrived well packaged. In this you can easily transport the tripod and take it with you quickly. Overall I am happy with the quality and this tripod offers various possible uses for a handful of situations.
