"K&F Concept Light Tripod for Photography, 230 cm, Metal, for Photography"
Nice tripod for service. Metal rods, quite solid but also light in context. The joints are made of plastic but seem to be of excellent quality, they tighten well and without particular effort. Feet with rubber at the ends and excellent riveting. Supplied with a convenient case, cheap but functional.
I mounted a 400W studio flash on it, one of the heavy ones, I think, a couple of kg. The stand behaved well, not twisting excessively when moved. Of course, we are talking about a product with a highly competitive price, obviously in the professional sector there are even more stable products, but the price increases and even a lot.
I think that this tripod from K&F Concept is an excellent alternative. Perfect for both novice photographers and professionals.

I have owned a LOT of light stands in my day. This option from brand K&F CONCEPT, in terms of quality control and durability, shows the brand makes a strong effort to support creatives.
There is a mix of strong aluminum and plastic construction here, the poles are metal, the twist tighteners and raisers are plastic. And while it is not the most dense metal ever, it seems to be a sturdy and well-conceived stand for the purpose it serves. I have tested it so far with a few options, and can easily imagine that for any general medium-sized softbox and flash combo, this light stand will hold its own just fine.
As I am normally accustomed to the standard black aluminum stands with plastic twists and raisers, this one was a pleasant surprise as it is clearly a slightly higher quality than many others I have used. You don't hear any whiny sounds during the adjustment, you just lift and tighten, simple as can be. One thing I didn't expect was how high it actually raises. I knew the specs, I just didn't really realize there was one more raise height, for a total of three raises, and yet it still remains very sturdy and secure.
It also comes with a light but good enough carrying case for travel, and beyond that, there's not much that can be said about light stands beyond this. They are either great, or they are just not. This one is, so far, a very decent stand for photographers who use artificial sources to light their subjects. It is as simple as that. A good light tripod is worth its weight in gold. Fortunately, this one is pretty light, and also quite affordable, coming in at only $35.99 at the time of this review. A solid 5 stars for what it is.

Used for stage lighting,
Lightweight and compact,
The thoughtful leg folding design that helps stow the stand without snagging on anything,
Sturdy and stable for the light gauge metal tubes,
Arrived with damaged clamp, from the screw that holds the adaptor,
Removed the screw and put a rivet.
Happy to have it

The metal frame, combined with plastic components, provides a well-balanced mix that results in a sturdy and durable stand, ideal for holding reflectors, flashes and all kinds of lighting accessories without any hassle.
What really stands out about this tripod is its ease of use, as the locking and adjustment mechanisms allow for quick and effortless setup. There are no awkward sounds when raising or adjusting the height, you simply lift and adjust, which is a relief for any photographer who needs quick changes during a shoot.
As it can reach up to 230cm in height it is a welcome advantage, allowing for great versatility in placing lights at different angles and heights. In addition, it comes with a carrying bag that, although simple, is practical enough to make it easy to transport anywhere although I always recommend using a more suitable bag for transport, especially if it is going to go in a trunk and may end up tumbling around.

The K&F Concept photo light stand has quickly become a valued part of my photography outings. With its adjustable height ranging from 96 cm to 230 cm, it offers flexibility for capturing anything, whether you're photographing a family gathering or embarking on a mountain biking photoshoot in the Highlands. The wide compatibility with various lighting equipment is genuinely convenient, saving me the hassle of juggling multiple stands. At just 1 kg, it's surprisingly lightweight, folding neatly, making it easy to transport. However, it can feel slightly unstable on uneven surfaces, such as rugged trails during outdoor shoots, so some caution is necessary.
Constructed from corrosion-resistant metal, this stand seems ready to withstand the unpredictable Scottish weather. Despite its practicality, the screw interface occasionally feels stiff, requiring a bit of patience when setting up. Still, for anyone keen on balancing quality and functionality in their photography

Great for mounting my photography light on top. Goes very high, and is sturdy enough, I don't feel like its going to fall on me. Build quality is also decent. K&F always makes quality products and I this is another good product added to the their list.

Whenever K&F Concept announce or release equipment for photography or videography I want to try and get it as I know it's going to be great quality. They just know exactly what videographers need and want and this light stand is no different.
There are a million light stands out there in the market and most of them are just all the same (and generally poor and weak) and I've had so many of them break on me, so K&F are in a packed marketplace with this product.
Taking it out of the box the first thing I noticed was the coating on the outside of the stand which may seem a strange thing to be important enough to mention but the coating makes this stand more durable, looks better, and offers more grip for the stand which is just great.
It comes in a travel bag, and when out of the bag you just open it up like any other light stand and pop your light onto the top of it.
There is adjustable height tighteners and these seem slightly stronger than the other ones I've had in the past so I'm confident theyll last much longer than other brands
The height is impressive and it reaches a height you will probably never use. I'm 6 foot 2 tall and it goes above my head!
It can carry a serious weight load with no problems (I loaded a large light panel onto it) and is sturdy and minimal to no wobble when in use
Overall a good solid stand and it's great to see K&F concept expanding into so many different products for us videographers/photographers!

I decided to get this stand because I’m starting to have quite a couple of lighting equipment, but I needed another stand for the projects I’m doing.
Included in the packaging is the light stand itself and a storage bag, that’s it! When the stand is folded, it’s really compact and is only 70 cm long. It can be adjusted from a height of 96cm to 230cm, which should be enough for any kind of project. The light can be either installed like a camera mount (you turn the light on the screw) or the stand also supports spigot stud mounted lighting. The stand is mainly made out of metal, which should make it pretty durable over time. There are two points of adjustment for the height and they have a twist lock mechanism.
Once set up, it is really stable. If the tripod base is extended correctly, it will fit nicely on any surface because of the beveled feet. I’ve tried it with a regular LED panel and it works great. I didn’t find any con to the product yet, so that is pretty great.
All in all, the stand is pretty great and also hard to be when it comes to pricing. I highly recommend it!
