When I was looking for a travel tripod, I discovered K&F products at Photokina, which I had never heard of before. I had already “tested” the tripod on their stand and then ordered it. The tripod was delivered after 2 days and exactly matched the Amazon description. Packed in a cardboard box, the package contains the tripod, a carrying bag with a shoulder strap, a weight hook and a compact manual. The tripod head is protected by a fabric cover, similar to that of a golf club. I then had the tripod with me for a week in Madeira for the first time. Light and compact, it fits perfectly in my hiking backpack. I've used it on the beach, in the mountains and at waterfalls. Quickly set up, stable and flexible to use for all my needs. Due to its lightness, you should attach the hook when it is windy and weigh down the tripod with a backpack, for example, to improve stability. During the day, I also had it at night at -5 degrees. Of course the aluminum gets very cold, but all the functions were great to use. By the way also with gloves ;-) For the price a clear recommendation. I spent more money and received less. I definitely found my travel tripod!

had a Ranger that I lost and replaced with this one. Overall it's fine. It's a little longer than the Ranger and harder to pack. The levers to adjust the ball took a little getting used to and have trouble locking into place with the weight of a large lens. Overall good value for money and does what you need.

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 2kg 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.

had the opportunity to test a travel tripod from K&F Concept. What interested me the most was the weight, the quick releases on the feet, a working height that suits me, the grip of the ball head (I'm not a fan of it) and the price. When the tripod arrived I was immediately surprised...it comes in an easy to carry bag and the ball head is protected by a small pouch. An imbus and (admittedly) somewhat sparse instructions are also included. But… do you urgently need tripod instructions? The handling of the clip closures is good and I quickly get the hang of it. So the tripod can be set up and taken down quickly. The removable plate is screwed under the camera as usual and is then NOT attached with a quick release system, but is screwed. But it works well. The height is 1.33m and the central column allows it to be extended up to 1.56m. It's a tolerable working height for me and Markus... and yes, it's stable, even with the 5D on top. The ball head also supported the weight of the 5D well... can be easily adjusted, so that I am even enthusiastic as an anti-ball head. I still found a small flaw. There is a spirit level on the tripod, but it is covered when the camera is mounted... it's a bit of a shame when you have to move the tripod. But you can get over it. The price is quite low at €50... but the tripod really surprised with its quality. My conclusion: I found a good seller and not expensive... I will definitely buy from K&F Concept again if I need anything.

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 neatly sewn. One corner is therefore not correctly 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

The tripod has a good base for me, it has clip attachments. I don't use twist locks, I think they are more sensitive to dirt or sand in the thread. It's a good size: it's not really compact, in the normal folded working position, it's a little large at 55 cm on small backpacks. But even without the central column deployed, it reaches a working height of 1.38 m, which is fantastic. The tripod head is OK, the Arca Swiss plates fit there. For practical use: when there is no wind, I can work without problem with Fuji DSLMs, I was even able to use my Nikon D7500 here. This represents the maximum size in terms of weight, for large full frame cameras you need heavier tripods. When there was no wind, I could even use a Fuji with a small telephoto lens without the photos being blurry. When there is little wind, I also use it to record videos. The quality is very good for the price. Of course I can't compare the quality and durability with my heavy Manfrotto, but it costs almost 300 euros even with a big ball head. And especially on long hikes, I don't want to lug around the heavy tripod. I am very satisfied with the tripod, I think the price/quality ratio is excellent.

I find it very sturdy and good quality for the price. The only downside I would have is that you always have to be at the top of the center column to be able to fold the tripod. And in terms of quality, I don't find the 1/4 thread mount very good. Otherwise the rest is fine and is a great tripod that I like to use for my A7 III or RGB tubes. I can definitely recommend it.

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. I purchased and paid for the K&F Concept TM2324 as usual through Amazon, but I am getting the money refunded as a product tester. As always, my opinion remains independent and honest.

bought the tripod for my father. He's older, but he likes to take photos. In normal photos without a tripod, however, we increasingly notice that the images are blurry. This is normal because he can no longer hold the camera as still. The tripod comes in a bag which protects it and makes it easy to transport. It's not very difficult either. At first he was wondering what was in the bag, but he was very happy when he unpacked it. The tripod is completely assembled, just pull out the legs to the desired height. It can be adjusted to any height. You just have to open a sort of flap at the bottom and you can take out the rods, when you close the flaps the rods are tight. It's really very simple. At the top of the tripod is the screw where you can unscrew the camera or cell phone. We tried both and it worked without any problems. The tripod was still stable and secure. The tripod head rotates 360°. My dad loves it and we both think the tripod is good quality for the price. Now my dad can take photos for any occasion and they will all be perfect. The tripod is really a relief for him and he can continue to practice his hobby with great pleasure. We recommend. Now my father can take photos again for all occasions and they will all be perfect.
