K&F Concept Camera Tripod Versatile Mini Flexible Phone Stand Phone Tripod Bluetooth Remote Control
SKU: KF09.129
UPDATED: Earlier Review: "Right out of the box to test use with my Android and Camera. The Android is a Galaxy J7 Crown and on that phone I had put an outer casing to protect it (since the phone on its own is very thin). The Clamp for use with a phone was able to fit snugly over both, but it was very tight. I've since been contacted K&F CONCEPT , voluntarily without my having contacted them, that they can provide a large clamp for the phone due to the phone casing. . Then tried seeing how it would work with a Canon T3i DLSR camera . As can be seen in the images , success! The portion that attaches to the bottom of camera has a nice little 'knob' for screwing in quite tightly (as does the mount for screwing the camera on). These little knobs could be easily missed. In other words, all fit on 'Tight' in all ways and the legs are very flexible. Will be interested to see all this will come down out in the field, but inside, for common use so far, great. Only thing, I'm afraid I could lose the removable part (detachable base), as it is very small (Make a mental note)." UPDATE: A new , larger mount is available that swivels from 'Landscape' to "Portrait' position without having to remove the camera mount, as it previously was. Would highly recommend this 'improved mount' , also pictured.

Honest opinion i was very impressed with customer service. Some one name Jose replied. I had accidentally broke mine so I email them if they have replacement part they replied by email with in 5-10 mins ( I send them a picture).They told me they’ll send new one at no cost to me and I don’t have return old one. I can recycle old one. I couldn’t believe next day new one was delivered. Very fast I’m definitely buying more stuff for them. Customer for life. First ever time at K&F CONCEPT they delivered replacement item that fast. Tripod is very handy even child can hold it i used to just setup on top of my imac for record a video. I like part it so flexible you move it anyway twist and turn how ever I like. I love this product and definitely recommend this anyone who recording for YouTube blogger or just want to use for selfie. It works anyway. I like the part I can just twist it hold it record while walking around. Hope this helps to make a right decision. Good luck.

I love this tripod. I use it to view coins with my phone. It's easy to set in place, to change it on a whim.The legs don't slide, and the tripod is sitting on top of a glass table.Depending on my viewing of the coin, I have to view up close, so I move or bend the legs accordingly, to get close to my object. I need to go a further distance up, presto as 1-2-3. I put the legs straight, which I have no problem doing at all. It doesn't take a force of nature; I can straighten them completely with no problem and now am at a higher viewing distance. So, this works for me excellently.I like the top being on a ball, that way I can move the phone with it in different viewing positions, especially down, left, right, especially when I attach a close-up lens to the phone.It's a sturdy product. I also like the soft cushiony pressable covering of the legs, and the top is solid, holds the phone securely and it's easy to get the phone in and out of the top piece, by pulling on it (it expands when pulling left).As far as I'm concerned, it's a great product.I have also used it with my Lumix camera (which weighs about 1.4.lbs). After that, placed it with the tripod on the floor, to charge, and it holds just fine. I probably won't use this setup most of the time, since it is a heavy camera, but it does work if needed.In the video, my phone on the premium tripod, the camera on the K&F CONCEPT Pro tripod, the and K&F CONCEPT light. Which is excellent, especially for viewing coins. You can even use the light in total darkness. I think the trio serves me well.

We bought this tripod for our 11 year old daughter to use to take videos of herself as she likes to do pretend newscasts. Instead of needing to track someone down to hold her phone all the time for her, she can now set up the tripod with a number of cameras to use. There are attachments for a iPod/iPhone, a standard video camera and a GoPro. All attach and come off easily. The bendable legs of the tripod are a great feature but I think what I worry will break in the long run as a lot of these tripods do but that is yet to be seen.One last note is that while my daughter was holding this, her little brother somehow fell onto it and part of the locking mechanism broke. I looked at what specifically had snapped to see if I could fix it but it was two plastic clips that snapped clean off. Luckily they have a warranty (3 years I think?) on every part of their tripod and covered the broken apart. Honestly I just needed one small part of the tripod but they sent a full replacement. They also asked for pictures showing what broke so they could use them to further evaluate making the tripod down the road, so that is very assuring.

Yeah, uh. I guess I wrote the whole review in the headline but I'll speak a bit more about it. A while back I had a different tripod of similar design that I lost a few pieces to. I thought the entire unit was gone and threw away the bits I still could find.Low and behold after trash was taken away I found the rest. Almost within 24 hours. Such is life.So naturally I came to K&F CONCEPT to ease the pain and stumbled upon this tripod. I suppose I'll run down my use case for it and the general feelings. I needed this for one of my webcams. I'm going to be doing product reviews and wanted to do picture in picture on my videos. Dollars to donuts I'll be the only person watching them but it passes the time, so who cares.The legs themselves are sturdy. They have just the right amount of give when you are positioning them and they seem to hold their position brilliantly. The actual top unit appears to have a standard screw header for cameras and webcams. It works on everything I own but I can't say if this is a standardized thing across all photography units. I'm not versed in that whole world beyond interest.It also comes with a phone holder which works great on both my old Pixel 1 and my new Pixel 3 XL. So I believe it will likely fit any phone you stick in it that is from the last decade or so. There is also another piece with a leaver on it that honestly I've not used yet. I don't exactly know what it is for, I'm guessing angling along the Z axis but I can't be sure. Regardless it also is of perfectly acceptable build quality.I don't normally like giving things 5 stars. K&F CONCEPT says that this is reserved for "I love it." and that might be a little strong. But then again as far as tripods go I don't know what else I'd like from this? I mean it could cook me lunch or something but I don't really expect that from a tripod.If my unit is indicative of what they normally sell, which I cannot promise, then I would certainly say you won't regret purchasing it. Assuming the anecdote of my experience is accurate then I don't see any reason to suggest something else. Even at the time it was one of the most reasonably priced on K&F CONCEPT.Finally, I've had literally no issues with my unit so I can't speak to the customer support. They did message me to see how I was liking it and if I've had any issues which is nice. I haven't, so I didn't have anything to add really.That's it I suppose. I hope if you buy one that yours is as nice as mine.

Okay, I just got the product today but I've been playing around with it already and so far I'm loving it. It is way cheaper than some mini-tripods and seems much better than the super duper cheap one that I bought before (which is of cheap quality too ugh). I knew this was better already. I hope it lasts. I bought this especially for an upcoming trip which would be a once in a lifetime trip and I don't want a ridiculous tripod issue to ruin my trip. Anyway, it seems pretty sturdy. My iPhone xR fits (though the photos I uploaded are all iPhone 6) perfectly fine. It can be tightened that the phone would not accidentally rotate or fall in the middle of taking a picture or video. It can hold a phone in landscape and/or portrait mode. You just have to figure out how to use the other parts included in box. It is pretty easy to assemble. But, yes, you do have to reassemble if you want to change from portrait to landscape and vice versa. The remote works well. You have to connect it to your phone via bluetooth. It has a battery already and so far it works (well, I just bought it so.. I don't know how long it will last). Of course, the legs of the tripod could be bent here and there. Also, I think the length is okay. The product itself is not too long or heavy to carry around.

This tripod definitely gets the job done. The legs are flexible and easy to work with and the part that connects to your form of camera is also pretty standard. For a product around $20, it's definitely more than what you could ask for. I bought this product for my girlfriend so that she can vlog or take group photos and everything works very well, even with a large phone like the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (phone clamp even stretches far enough for a phone that size).One thing that I did notice that may be a downside in the future is the build quality though. It doesn't seem to be the most durable product, in that, I wouldn't be surprised if it broke in a 1 year of frequent use. So, if you're looking for something for more professional use, I would recommend spending a bit more money on a more solid product. However, for a fun little tool to use as a hobby, this product definitely gets the job done.

This is a follow up review to the 1 I did at the end of June or beginning of July. I know I gave a bad review last time because it broke rather quickly but K&F CONCEPT reached out to me and were incredibly nice and easy to deal with. They mailed me out another rather quickly at no cost to myself. I cannot express how good the customer service experience was. Now on to the product itself. It is very sturdy and is very solidly put together. It could be that the last 1 I had was just a fluke bad 1 but this is the best tripod I can find on K&F CONCEPT for my needs. I love how it is eye level to me when using it sitting down either at a table or at my desk. It makes doing what I need to do with either my camera or my phone so much easier. I couldn't be happier with this and have already shown and recommended this to a lot of my friends and family. If I ever need another I am definitely getting another 1 !

I bought this tripod to use with my Motorola Z Force Droid so that I can photograph myself while I ride my horses in my arena. I do my own photography for my blog and needed an option to be in the shot without having to track someone down to take the picture all the time.My phone is quite large, and I keep it in an Otterbox because dust is a real issue here in Arizona. K&F CONCEPT's cell phone attachment stretches large enough to hold my phone while it is in the Otterbox, and I love that! It succeeds where other tripods failed (most are designed for smaller phones.)The legs are flexible so that I can wrap them around my top arena railing, or I can put it on the ground and it stays standing up. I can angle my phone any direction I want, left or right, up or down, for the perfect shot.The trigger was easy to pair with my phone. It does have a little delay from the time I push the button to when my phone actually takes the picture, but I can work with that. The IOS button is larger and the Android button is smaller so you know you are hitting the right one. I wish I could hold down the button and have my phone take continuous shots (so you get the perfect shot through a series of actions) but it doesn't seem to work that way. I can only get one shot at a time. But again, not a deal breaker for me and I can work with that. The included lanyard is a nice bonus that I wasn't expecting. I double it up around my wrist so I can hold the trigger while I ride my horse. I wish the trigger worked with my Nikon camera as well, but that wasn't a deal breaker for me. The tripod has the attachment so that I can attach my camera to it, and I love that. Not a big deal to buy another trigger for the Nikon.This was a great purchase for the price, and I highly recommend it.

First thing first: I haven’t had time to use this a whole lot yet. I bought it for my upcoming vacation, which starts next week. So I will update afterwards, if I have any change in opinion.You definitely get your money’s worth with this tripod. All of the accessories that it comes with, really make it that little bit more worth your purchase. I had, until this point, never been interested in one of these smaller, adjustable tripods. I have always used standard sized ones. However, I’m glad I finally decided to get one of these. Its flexibility and portability are fantastic. It holds my iPhone 7 Plus well and safely, as well as my GoPro. It is also extremely easy and straightforward to set up and adjust.It is not made of the most sturdy, or durable materials, but what did you really expect from a tripod at such an affordable price? It does what it is designed to do, and it does it well. From what I have read as well, the company is very good and professional should you experience any issues. Definitely a worthy purchase for a beginner, or someone who enjoys taking photos and videos, and making them look as nice and professional as possible, but who isn’t serious enough to the point where they are willing to splash a load of cash on equipment. If you have been hesitant up until now - just give it a try. I bet you will be impressed.
