recently moved back to America from Japan and had to leave a lot of stuff behind, Including a Manfrotto tripod so I needed a new tripod to sell some things to help me get back on my feet. I looked at geekoto and some other brands and they're all pretty much like this one except they either had plastic where I didn't want plastic or it wasn't clear where the plastic on the tripod is. Using the Manfrotto for years, I at least know where I like there to be metal and this K&F unit has a cast aluminum mount and ball and it's all very smooth.Likes:Ball head: is solid and smooth. I would have preferred a toggle over a screw for the quick release plate.Legs: well they're legs, the aluminum feels solid. The also have stabby things at the bottom if you remove the rubber feet. Some one mentioned the locks for the leg extension were unfinished and sharp. Mine are comfortable to use.Column: Not too much to say. It does it's job. All the locks have comfortable rubber grips. Someone mentioned the column will collapse if pushed down on. That's true of mine too but I have to make an effort. It's not something that's happened during normal use.Portability: was not a selling point for me but it's nice to have the optionMonopod: also not a selling point but another nice to have the option. I've never used one before but now that I have the option I might.Bag: not a selling point, but it's a nice one if the zippers stand up to use, aka not YKK zippers.Dislikes:Legs: the spring-loaded locks for the top leg extensions seem weak. On lock solidly clicks into place, the other two are kinda, meh. This might not bother you but it makes a difference to me when setting the tripod up in the dark. The audible clicks tell me where the legs are set.Conclusion: Ball head is solid. With the exception of the leg locks not clicking solidly/audibly, into place, the unit is well built, uses high quality parts and is enough for what I want it to do and looks like it's versatile enough that I might try some stuff that I wouldn't try otherwise.

I needed a cheap, light(ish) tripod for a sudden trip as there was a fair amount of walking involved and this seemed to fit the bill nicely.

The head is smooth to pan, easy to adjust and locks tightly with no issues. The plate mount is arca-Swiss compatible so had no issues swapping plates on all my gear which was a bonus.
The legs are quick to deploy and lock up very securely. They’re relatively sturdy for the small cross section.

Some reviews mention that the tripod isn’t very stable and with the centre tube fully extended with a heavy lens/camera I can confirm that there is a definite (although relatively small) amount of wobble. However with smaller MFT gear I had little issues, especially when the tube is dropped lower. Using a guy rope and pegging the tripod down via the sprung hook kept the tripod rock steady in high wind on the side of a very exposed mountain slope.

I’ve not had time to use the tripod for an extended period so I can’t attest to its long term durability but I’m fairly confident it’ll stand up to some reasonable abuse, no doubt time will tell.

Is it as good as my Manfrotto? Of course not, but it’s less than 1/5th the price and 1/3rd of the weight, I’d buy another again should this one ever get stolen.

This is the tallest and most durable tripod I have purchased for outdoor photo shoots. Since the photos and descriptions on the product page are thorough and show what the tripod is capable of doing, I will focus on the functions and features not highlighted that I appreciate about the K&F S210 Concept tripod.
This tripod includes a KF-28 swivel head and holds my Sony Mirrorless AIII camera with an attached lengthy G telephoto lens. The 1/4 inch screw in the quick release Arca swiss plate to accommodate all my previous mounting adapters.
The wide spread and thick metal tube legs even allows me to hold my camera equipment with it long legs and almost to the ground level thanks the red metal spring loaded adjusters. This tripod uses metal components except for the rubberized texture on the legs for the twist locking mechanism. This is comfortable and provides grip to quickly setup and the foam covered leg can twist and turn to form a tripod with extension tube. These leg extension mechanisms do not catch cords or clothing like the traditional plastic flip clips.
For storage and transport it folds to under 20 inches and weighs slightly over 4 pounds. This tripod can be stored in my backpack or on the outside lashed. Most tripods give a low quality bag made of thin fabric with small breakable zipper and an uncomfortable strap. Since K&F concert concept also makes high quality photography backpacks ( I can speak from experience since I own one of their backpacks) the company gives you an awesome carry bag that is worth $30 by itself. The bag has a durable exterior and has thick padded surfaces that is hidden between the grey thick fabric layer and interior black nylon that is easy to wipe clean if dirty from the tripod feet. The top of the bag features a reflective stripe that is an inch wide that goes around the bag, I was not aware of it until I was at an evening shoot and the light caught the bag.

K&F Concept Camera Tripod K234A7 + BH-28L + Extension Arm Kits I uploaded only 1 of the 2 videos and I preferred the second where I explain how and where to insert the various pieces since the manufacturer attaches a lean manual as shown in the photo. assemble the parts by looking at the various presentation photos, it would be 4 stars for this particular but the tripod is worth the 5 stars. The short rod supplied is 30 cm long while the closed stand reaches 50 cm. How I use the tripod is very simple to use and other measures and opinions on how well it works can be found in the various reviews, I just say that I use it with Tamron 150/600 G2 on Nikon D7200 and Celestron Ultima 80 spotting scope both on head ball supplied and on Gimbal to replace it but only on smooth tripod without the extension rod that I have not tried. Relatively light weight excellent transport bag with reflective insert and shoulder strap with padded shoulder strap. Head equipped with attachment for anything and is of the Arca-Swiss compatible type.

Inexpensive, mobile phone and camera holder, easy to carry and lots of adjustment options. I am completely satisfied.

Use this as a webcam tripod for my DSLR. The minimum height might be a bit high, but it allows you to reverse the orientation of the mount and have a more grounded viewing angle

wanted a quality tripod for long exposures and am very happy with it. I left it on the shore while the tide came in and the water didn't shake it, and the photos turned out beautifully. I've also used it for product photography and can get a nice angle. It's quick and easy to set up and store away

I've gone through dozens of tripods. Using it for both work and the hobby of photography, this is one of the best tripods I've had. Works great, light weight and the carrying case is very nice.

Love everything about the tripod. Exactly as described. A little heavier than I thought. The application requires some practice, but is still highly recommended.

Aside from buying some ultra-pro gear, which is a bit of overkill, this unit handles everything tripod-related, and if you buy the full version, the accessory includes a small spirit level, so no more shaky horizons or unwanted converging verticals available. You can also get the best shots to start with instead of running around with unsquare images in photo software afterwards. Mainly aluminum apart from some plastic latches and rubber feet so doesn't get loose and wobbly too quickly like those cheap generic badged tripods. Also comes in a cute tote bag with adjustable straps. Couldn't fault it.
