70"/1.77m Lightweight Aluminum Tripods for Photograph and Live Streaming Model K234A0+Video Head
SKU: KF09.115
I bought it to carry less weight and space. I use it for real estate photography and was looking for something that wasn't as big or heavy as the one I have from Manfrotto since I use it daily. The system of legs with wire instead of clips requires some getting used to, you just have to be careful to tighten them well, but not use excessive force. the camera. The Arca Swiss system suits me perfectly so I don't need to change the plate to mount it on a Ronin RS3 Mini. In conclusion, very light, very handy and quite secure, it does not give the impression that the camera could fall.

A really well made and intuitive tripod. Great design and solid adjustment controls. It's super steady when setup and the phone holder is much better quality than anything else I've tried. Nice carry case too.

Probably one of the few, if not the only choice if you are looking for a carbon tripod (your first, as in my case) for less than €150. Overall, it's a good product if you're new to photography (like me) and want to make a smart purchase and avoid the meager tripods that will force you to spend more money in the near future. When closed it is very compact and easy to transport given its zero weight, durable and well designed. I thought the tripod height of 162cm was low. I'm 179 cm tall and the fully extended tripod is quite acceptable (even perfect, since it's a compact, travel tripod!) for my height; by extending the central column and, with the ball head mounted, it reaches exactly the distance between my chin and my mouth (so almost at eye level with the camera mounted... I have a Canon M50 (MII), which avoid bending over too much and causing any discomfort. The only point is that the orange sticks used to orient the legs seem a little fragile but nothing tragic, you just have to be careful with them. After all, for quality. absolute, the price should definitely be increased. I haven't tested it in the field yet but I don't expect any unpleasant surprises.

Foreword: Hello friends, I have been doing photography for about 2 years and it has also become my daily hobby. This is why I wanted to improve my existing equipment. At first I got a tripod for €20 and gained my first experience with it. Like many of you, I also wanted more possibilities and more comfort in photography. I would now like to describe my experiences and the differences compared to a €20 tripod for beginners. This way you can make up your own mind whether a more expensive tripod is worth it. Quality and differences from cheap tripods: After the product arrived, I noticed the first difference, the material of the bag was a little thicker and of better quality. After unboxing the tripod, I evaluated the build quality and play of the tripod. I have absolutely no complaints about the metal processing and it is of a very high standard. A few plastic elements show that not everything is perfectly processed. Compared to my cheap tripod, the legs can be unfolded individually, which I think gives me a lot more options. The ball head can also be adjusted much easier, more precisely and above all more comfortable than on my cheap ball head. Here I have to adjust 2 axes separately with the lever, which becomes a little annoying in the long run. But what fascinated me the most was the ability to turn the tripod around and get very close to the ground. These possibilities are generally not offered with inexpensive tripods. I can finally take macro photos in peace and take photos from completely new perspectives. In addition, the dimensions of the pack were decisive for my purchase because I would like to use them while traveling. The mount that is screwed into the camera has a very good rubber coating with a profile so that the camera does not rotate by itself even if it is turned 90° on the tripod and is equipped with 'a big goal (some of you I probably know). ). Thanks to its compact size, K&F has also found a solution for windy days, because this tripod is equipped with a hook at the lower end of the neck, to which you can attach your bag or similar. Overall, I see many advantages in this tripod compared to tripods in the lower price range: + Individually foldable legs = More possibilities + Adjust the ball head for more comfort + reduced size and lightness + Overall very stable even with the neck extended + New perspective by rotating the neck 180°

This is a fantastic lightweight tripod with a fluid top! I use it for backpacking with light to medium cameras. Very reasonable price. Buy it!

My new tripod finally arrived yesterday. Today you need more and more efficient equipment, even for amateur photography. So it was after much deliberation that I purchased this K&F tripod. My old tripod shook a lot, not to mention the tripod quick release plate. This tripod is very sturdy and I really recommend it because it may be one of the best in this price range. The low height thanks to the adjustable feet allows you to take photos very close to the ground. This is a great advantage, especially in nature, because you can find the best angle to take photos and get a good overview. In the end, there is not much to say, because it does its job completely and you really get a very good tripod for the price. The quick release plate is used by many manufacturers and can therefore be used universally. Even with my relatively heavy DSLR, which weighs almost 2 kg depending on the lens, the camera still sits very firmly on it and nothing is blurry. Even when shooting, I didn't find anything negative about the tripod. It is therefore an excellent companion for my Sony Alpha for long exposures and films. Thanks to its low weight you can take it with you when traveling and thanks to its compact design it fits into any backpack. What can also be said is that the tripod comes with a super stable carrying bag so that the tripod arrives safely. Overall, this tripod is ideal for photography and filming.

I love this tripod. I love the leveler that helps me level up evenly. It moves great for getting those awkwardly positioned shots.

The tripod is well made. It is stable and practically does not wobble. Of course, if you install it in full size, the oscillations will also increase, but this is normal and not a reason to deduct one star in this price range. The closures on the feet are intuitive and easy to use. No more screwing and twisting. The twist lock for height adjustment in the center bar is a bit stiff and scratchy, but can be screwed in and out without any problems. The head's horizontal panning mechanism, on the other hand, works very smoothly and smoothly, which initially surprised me given the price. The ball head also works well, but could benefit from a little more flexibility. But that can probably be fixed with a drop of WD-40. What I also noticed is that the loop under the kneecap, whatever it is, is not sewn neatly. One corner is therefore not properly fixed, which is probably an isolated case. Since I don't use this loop anyway, I don't care. I still wanted to mention it. Here again summarized: + Good finish + Stable + The closures on the legs are easy to use + Very smooth horizontal rotation + Value for money Neutral: > Dares slightly in real size > The ball joint works well "Negative": -The rotating lock of the middle scratches a little -The buckle under the kneecap is poorly treated

have been looking for a compact and handy travel tripod for a long time. Every time a hike or vacation trip was announced, I had to fall back on my Nanomax 400T. After a while I came across the TM2324. Short preliminary conclusion: The finish is very good. The tripod is designed for photo tours. Thanks to its light weight of 1.3 kg and the quick clips on the feet, it can be taken anywhere and installed very quickly. The ball head with pan function works smoothly and feels secure. Details: 1. Key data: The tripod is folded 47 cm long. If you install it, you can reach a maximum height of 159 cm (at the quick release plate), which is significantly higher than German bridge guardrails. The weight I measured was 1.31 kg with the ball head and 1.05 kg without the ball head. Despite the tripod, the case still holds a lot. 2. Ball head: The ball head not only has the actual ball head function, but also has a panoramic function. The larger wheel releases the ball joint. This works smoothly and can also be swiveled down 90° at one point. The smaller wheel is used for the pan function. This works just as well and, as the name suggests, allows panoramic shots, since only the vertical axis is freed. If you simply crop the images, you lose resolution (focal length permitting). If you use the built-in panoramic functions, you actually get a higher resolution. 3. Quick release plate: The quick release plate and bracket are made of plastic. This way a little weight could probably be saved here too. The plastic seems very valuable and stable. At first glance, I thought it was metal. A spirit level or dragonfly is installed in the recording, so you can align the camera directly on the ground. 4. Central plate: The feet can be locked in 3 positions using carabiners on the central plate. Although the clamps appear somewhat "loose", the legs are surprisingly secure in the locked position. The central bar is held by a classic twist lock. 5. Tripod legs: The tripod legs are equipped with quick-release mounts. They look sturdy and are especially useful when you're on the go and don't want to screw forever before you can remove the leg and then screw it back in. Thanks to the quick releases, this can be done in seconds. The tubes themselves are brushed black aluminum. I found no iron or steel on the legs. So nothing can rust if the tripod is placed in a stream or in the sea. One of the legs is partially covered with moss. You can carry the tripod on it well. It's so much nicer, especially when it's cooler. 6. Pocket: The bag looks well made and is of course precisely tailored to the tripod. You can carry it by the handle or hang it on the included strap. A reflective strip should probably serve to make you more visible to drivers during nighttime hikes. Even though I never really carry my tripods in bags, I find them quite successful. As you can see, the weather has been bad for a long time but I didn't want to deprive you of my experience. As soon as the weather improves I will try to send more photos later.

If you're looking for an affordable yet simple (and most importantly, quality) portable tripod, then this is it. I use it on set for my B-cam and in the field for quick shots when a simple, lightweight tripod is all I need. Also super sturdy. At the price you can't beat it.
