This tripod is a beast! Whilst it may not have the name "Manfrotto" or "3 Legged Thing" all over it, it is more than capable for it's price point!

Having switched to this from a similarly priced Manfrotto, albeit a much smaller tripod I am initially surprised with the similarly in quality.

Whilst the Manfrotto feels ever so slightly more refined, the K&F blows it out the park with height, versatility and ease of use!

I always found the Manfrotto locking mechanisms very small, fidgety and likely to give me small blisters from repeated adjustment. Whereas the K&F model has comfortably sized levers/screws.

The ability to dettach one leg and use it as a monopod is an excellent addition and the additional grip on this leg is nicely positioned and very comfortable.

The ability to move the main central point to a over the top arm for top down/lay flat is amazing! This creates much more potential, and having all this in ONE tripod is a bonus.

Overall this tripod feels very well built and feels like it will stand the test of time!

There are only three cons I can find!

- The included bag is not the greatest of materials and the added shoulder strap has plastic vs metal clips. However if your dedicated camera bag has space for a tripod this isn't an issue.

- The twist locks on each leg are plastic, however they do feel very strong and not flimsy at all. Being used to aluminium locks on the Manfrotto tripod I noticed this immediately.

- The springs that hold ratchet locks on each leg tight are a little flimsy, again being used to a different mechanism on the Manfrotto this bares no effect on quality and durability. If anything they are actually easier to release as the spring isn't extremely stiff!

Who would I recommend this to?

Anyone! This tripod is capable of meeting the needs of all photographers at all levels in my opinion! Whilst it may not be as rugged as some higher end brands, the fact remains that it is of very high quality and packed full of features. 10/10 for me.

I took a closer look at the travel tripod over the past few days and would now like to share my impressions. Overall, the tripod scored well, although there are slight deductions in the B grade.

==== Scope of delivery ====
To be honest, there is not much to tell about the scope of delivery. Included are:
- Travel tripod
- Carrying bag (incl. shoulder strap)
- instruction manual
- Allen key
Everything is delivered in a descriptive cardboard box, but this is of course only a secondary matter for a tripod.

==== Look & feel ====
The colour of the tripod is timeless black with small red elements. I really like this combination, but it's nothing out of the ordinary. The tripod is not too light and feels good in the hand. So for the money, the buyer doesn't get rickety cheap goods. However, some parts of the tripod were scratched, which is why I have to deduct a B grade for this. However, this did not affect the functionality. The legs are pleasantly easy to adjust. All operations go off without a hitch.

So, apart from the minor quirks, a great look and feel!

==== Functionality ====
The tripod can be extended to a height of approx. 1.54 metres. At the lower end there is an additional hook to which weights can be attached. This should provide more stability. Since I don't necessarily extend the tripod completely, I didn't need any additional weight.

The head element including the ball head works very smoothly and without jerks. With a steady hand, it should perhaps also be possible to do small camera pans, if these are desired. This flexibility is enhanced by the fact that the rod can be rotated 90° at the top. This allows for side shots or shooting very close to the ground.

In addition, the tripod can be converted into a monopod. With my hands, however, I prefer to rely on three legs.

The supplied bag looks high-quality and is made of a slightly thicker material. This may be too bulky for some. I usually transport my travel tripod directly on my backpack so that I can access it quickly. Therefore, the transport bag is just a nice extra for me.

==== Conclusion ====
With this travel tripod, the whole package is right: quality (except for a few compromises), looks and functionality are convincing. I already own a travel tripod, but it only cost half as much and has a correspondingly cheaper finish. This one will stay on the shelf from now on, as I like the new one much more.

Review uodate!
Have this amazing multifunctional tripod for a couple of months and have to admit its very very good! This company had such a great idea of creating such a helpful device! There is no change of quality since I bought this item, works perfectly after 5!months.
Really happy with my choice!

Hello guys!
This is my 4th K&F product, i am in love with this company! So far their products proved me that they are good quality.
This tripod in particular is very light, easy to use and STEADY!
The reason I bought it is for its transverse feature, I shoot OVERHEAD food videos and its really helpful! Check the pictures. Besides this why to get a monopod when you have K&F? It has rubber grip, easy to mount, very light! I was checking online for similar products with the same features, well at least double price. Think about this.
What i like the most about this product? Well, the rotation screws, just simply to use and really functional.
I think you can place it anywhere because you can modify the postion of the legs this is why i manage to fit it on the table i am using to film. What you see in the pictures is not actually what I do, I am waiting for my wife to come back from the market with goodies and to start filming. Sorry that I didnt put pictures of the process but its the same thing. I also take pictures of interior, well, used it for a short session like for 30 min and im happy with it, as you can see in the last picture, its amazing how small it can be.
Next K&F product I am going to get........a backpack!!!

I have been very please with this lightweight travel tripod. It is extremely versatile and can be used in a range of configurations as shown in the attached photos. The build quality is very good, each of the legs has a latch that locks into place when extended. One of the legs is fully removable and can be used as a monopod. The tripod head has a fluid motion which is excellent for videography. Very pleased.

What impresses immediately in thist K&F Concept 60" Tripod is the quality and the attention to detail, beginning in the sturdy carry bag. The 39 cm tripod can open up to 154 cm. You can use the tripod in countless situations, being very versatile for shooting night shots, taking product shots, macro shots at the ground level, and even using for shooting videos. The tripod is sturdy, tight, but if is very windy it has a stand in the center to add some weight. The head have a plate with easy grip screw, is also very versatile and sturdy, making it easy to level the horizon of the camera without moving its paws, especially usefull in video shooting. Note the excellent rubber paws, non-slip and narrow to achieve stability even on dirt terrain.
The set have a different short central axis that is easy to change in case you don't need to use the big one that comes assembled.
When i need to put my video camera on tripod, as i use a different plate to use in a gimbal, i put a quick release plate as i show in the picture.

Great value for money. An excellent tripod especially for travel but also for everyday use.

Thanks to my friends on youtube, I got recommendation for tripod from K&F. Right after I got it, I had to test it and now I'm using it 5-8 hours every day where I see it amazing. Most important to me is extended horizontal stick, where I can use it for ground shots or shots above certain product. And how small it is when it's assembled, fits everywhere!

Now after I tried tripod, I'm sure I will test more from K&F!

im not a big review writer so ill get straight to the point of this being super useful and its pros and consProsIdeal travel tripod,light weight ,very versatile, turns into a tripod, super easy to use ,its a space saver and it comes with a super nice carrying bagConsjust doesn't come with a ideal quick release head .. easy fix you can simply change it to a manfrotto releasehonestely i could find anything wrong with this tripod

Excellent tripod, I bought it from Colombia and it's great! I recommend it

Me encantó lo versátil del trípode, la opción de colocarlo en Plano Cenital es maravillosa para hacer todo tipo de cosas, el monopod es bastante bueno, y l guardarlo lo compacto que queda, 10/10.

Really liked this tripod for its built quality. This is really sturdy and rotation feels very smooth at all of the sections, the ball head have very smooth 360 rotation. The mount plate is very easy to attach and detach for dslr. I used this with my canon dslr and took many night photos with higher shutter speed and all my photos does not have any blurr as there were some time when it was windy but it holds very well. This tripod is very light weight and carry will be easy during travelling. Opening and setting it up does not take much time as its very portable and it is easy to understand all its knobs without the instruction manual. I have not checked its manual yet but after one use I know all the functions easily as the knob position is easy to know which function it is going to control. Also with 360 rotation option and that is very smooth transition, the video do not have any shaking or tearing effect. Overall I really liked this tripod for its price range and portability and light weight design. Good buy
