Very good product. Well built. Looks great.

This is a very sturdy well designed tripod which is light weight and seems like it would be good for travelling, however, it is a great shame that this tripod was miss advertised. This tripod was advertised as being able to be turned into a monopod as well as a tripod (which was the main reason I purchased it) however, when I received it it was clear that it was not possible to do so. There was also nothing in the instruction manual about it being able to be turned into a monopod.

What a tripod!? It's gorgeous and his bag took all my stuff, including my little treasure RX100 ;)

I have given this product five stars as an initial first impression after unpacking the tripod.The tripod feels solid, some may say it might be a bit on the heavy side, however i would rather have something that is a bit heavier than something that is light and at the mercy of the weather.All the screws and nobs appear to be well made and securely attached to the threads.the final finish gives the impression that some one has given this tripod some thought.i was pleasantly surprised by the amount of metal that is used in its construction giving hopes that it will perform as well as it looks and feels. some aspects of its construction is somewhat better quality than supposed "named" brands that retail at a significantly higher price.Please do not get me wrong, i will be up dating this review from time to time and if anything is not right with this tripod, then i will certainly let you know about it.updateHad it few days now and been using it quite a bit, and have to say that the tripod really performs very solidly. however i have the chance to use the tripod with a Manfrotto MH055M0-Q6 magnesium ball heavy duty head. The tripod legs are more than a match to support this heavy head and i am still impressed by the performance and sturdiness any all positions (even with the substantially heavier head on).But please do not get the idea there is anything wrong with the head that is attached to the tripod when delivered because there isn't, i now use this head with a smaller tripod and it is working fantastically.Please keep looking in for further updates and longer use. I am still keeping the five star rating for now.

This tripod is a great addition to any photographers collection! It arrived in a very professional looking box which is primarily black with orange accents. The front of it has an outline of the tripod in white, with the orange band around the bottom and the K&F Concept branding above it with an orange camera making the letters 'Co' at the beginning of the name. The front and back are identical. The left and right side are also the same consisting of the same logo, followed by the website horizontally. The bottom of the box has "RoHS", the designers, website and the recycling logo whilst the top has the model number followed by the company logo. This packaging is excellent and really puts the company in good light. Inside the box comes an all-in-one carry case which holds: the tripod, an over-the-shoulder strap for the bag, documentation and an Allen key. The bag can be held using the handles that are integrated. This bag and it's contents are very high quality!The tripod is very, very well made using a strong metal. It arrives folded and upside down to show just how compact this can be. It is excellent. Opening and straightening the legs reveal a cloth bag that protects where the camera gets placed which is just amazing. From top to bottom, there is a plate that houses your camera with a level next to it to get the perfect images. This is adjustable thanks to the use of a ball joint which can be loosened or tightened using the second knob down. Following, there is a nice strap to help both carry the tripod and hold it on an angle for images. Then, there is a joint that can be used to loosen the stem of the tripod, in order for the user to flip is upside down and take lower images which is so unique and innovative. I haven't seen this used on any other tripod. After this, there are three legs that are very smooth to maneuver and can be kept in place in three different levels using the clips; to adjust, just loosen the clips then release when you are satisfied. One of the legs has the model number and logo on, one has a foam sleeve and the other is empty. These legs can be extended using the three clips which each expand to make the tripod to stand at around 5 foot. The overall build, colouring and quality of the product has amazed me. Even the weight feels perfect.Overall, I can thoroughly recommend this product to any photographer or camera specialist because it is amazing. I would score this a 10/10!

This is an amazingly good tripod for the price. It has a lot of features that you normally only find on more expensive tripods like a weight hook, and a smooth rotating base under the ball head to make panoramic photos easier and more level.The tripod has a good weight to it, but isn't too heavy. It's perfect for an amateur photographer to carry around, especially since it comes with a really high quality case. Even the case has a couple of different carrying options. There's a two piece handle that can be attached together to keep the case shut, and there's also a shoulder strap that can be easily removed. In order to add weight for stability, there's a hook on the bottom of the main bar that extends when weight is attached to it. If you're going out to do outdoor shooting, you could just bring a bag with you, load it with a few rocks when you get to your location, and just like that you can add 20-30 pounds to your tripod. Anyone who's used a light tripod understands how frustrating it can be in the wind, and a bit of extra weight in the right location can make a world of difference.The legs fold out to any angle, but they have three different locking positions to keep them from folding back up on you. These locks are very strong, and are completely made of metal. To release them, you just have to take the weight off, pull back on the textured portion, and fold the legs up. If for any reason you need to remove the legs completely, the allen key that you need is included with the tripod. One of the legs has a long foam pad on it, which helps for carrying and adjustment, especially in the cold. There's also a strap attached to the center of the tripod for carrying it without the case if you need to.The center bar has a large, rubber-coated locking ring to keep it from moving. It's really quick and easy to use, and makes on the fly adjustments painless. To use the upside down mount for macro shooting, you just have to unscrew the weight hook, loosen the locking ring, and slide the pole all the way out. Then you can put it in from the other end, and tighten it back down. It only takes a few seconds to do, and gives you a really stable way to shoot either macros, or just get photos/videos from unique angles.The ball mount is a joy to use. So many ball mounts keep flopping around after you've tightened them, but this one locks right where you're holding it. The knob to lock it in place is very large and turns smoothly. It doesn't take a ton of force to lock it in place, and you can lock it just enough to allow it to keep moving with a bit of force if you need to.The tripod uses an Arca Swiss plate to mount your camera, which is great since they're available everywhere. The plate doesn't budge once it's tightened down, and it doesn't take a lot of effort to lock it in place. If something happens that you lose your plate and need to mount your camera before you can get your hands on another plate, you can remove the panoramic adapter and ball plate, flip the mounting screw around, and now you have a standard 1/4" tripod screw to attach your camera to. Of course, you won't have the flexibility that the ball mount gave you, but it's definitely better than nothing.The legs are expandable in three sections, and are held in place by three plastic locks. The locks are fairly strong, but some of them do squeak a bit while opening or closing them. The bottoms of all three legs have non-slip rubber feet on them that work really well, and don't move around on any surface that I've tried them on.This tripod feels like it should cost twice the price being asked for it. I'm sure that there's a big difference between this and a $400 tripod, such as the height or the materials, but for most photographers, this would be an excellent choice. My wife does wedding photography, with me as her assistant, and we plan on getting a lot of use out of this tripod. If anything changes over the course of our usage, I'll update my review right away.I received this tripod at no cost in exchange for an honest review. No guarantee of a positive review was provided, and everything I've written is my genuine opinion.

Excellent quality and value for money. I am not a regular tripod user, but this is easy to set up and use, and most importantly for a tripod, solid.

I was sent this by the manufacturer for review purposes.Whether you're a beginner, an enthusiast, or a professional, there are some pieces of photography equipment you just cannot do without, one of which is a tripod. The dedicated enthusiast and those that earn their living from taking photos will already have one of their choice, so this review is for the newcomers and those yet to take the plunge. As with most pieces of equipment, there is a plethora from which to choose, so how do you make the right choice? K&F Concept has a tripod that sits in the middle of its range. The TM2324 has plenty of tricks up its sleeve to tempt you.Weighing in at a smidgeon over 4lbs (1.85Kg), including the ball head, it's not the lightest around and it's not up there with the top of the range tripods, but you're not paying Manfrotto, Gitzo or 3 Legged Thing prices. That weight might not sound much but bear in mind you might be carrying it around all day. Fortunately, K&F has supplied a more than decent carry case and shoulder strap to help.The four section legs can be adjusted into three angled positions for different shooting heights and the centre column can also be inverted for low level use. It's easy to do, too. To alter the angle, simply press on the gold clips at the top of the legs and move it. To invert the column, unscrew the bottom part, slide it out, turn it round and screw it back on to stop it falling through. The height can then be adjusted by turning the collar to the desired position. The leg extenders are the lever type and though some prefer twist lock ones, I have no preference. As for sturdiness, it does its job provided you don't go too heavy with your camera and lens. The recommended maximum is about 17'lbs (8kg), which is that of a high end camera and lens. And if you own that sort of gear you won't be buying this tripod; for CSCs and other DSLRs it will be ample for your needs.One leg is covered in a foam sleeve for when you're carrying it around without the bag (tripod legs are notoriously cold at the best of times) and the feet have a slightly raised centre for added stability. At this price I didn't expect to be able to change the feet, so these are perfectly adequate. There's an in-built hook on the end of the centre column from which you can hang your camera bag for extra stability. Just pull it out to use and when you're done it self retracts.The 360° ball head itself is more than satisfactory, too. It comes already attached to the tripod but covered by a velvet bag. A nice touch. The spirit level is an assist, as is the quick release plate. The only issue I had was attaching my camera to the plate. I found it easier to remove the plate, screw it to the camera and then replace the plate onto the head. A bit fiddly but nothing you can't overcome, and if you're using a tripod, you're not out for some instant photos, so the 15 seconds or so it takes won't matter.Though obviously not high on someone's criteria, the aesthetics are pleasant enough. Those gold coloured angle clips along with the same colour banding around the centre column collar set it off quite nicely. There's a carry strap attached to the central column not for extra stability, but to save you from having to scramble down a cliff or something; you wouldn't hand hold your camera without the strap (and if you do, don't), so this is a safety element. Although mine was missing, this does come with a manual. Well worth considering.

I was looking for a good solid, sturdy tridod to use with my Nikon P900 camera. I wanted something that was sturdy but could still be portable if needed but I also didn't want to pay over £100. Did loads of research on various models from well known and not so well known manufacturers and then came across this here on Amazon. I looked at all of the reviews here and everyone gave a glowing report of the tripods quality. I live in Malta and unfortunately I was unable to get a delivery here via Amazon otherwise I wold have purchased here. I did go and find it elsewhere for a couple of £ more and was able to arrnage delivery to Malta so bought and it really is as good as the reviews here say it is. I am no professional photographer and haven't owned loads of tripods but from the moment you open the box, this really does just give a feeling of quality. Well made, everything works smoothly and it folds down easily for travel. Not the lightest, but then I bought it to be sturdy, and that is exactly what is feels like it is going to be. There are other models in the range that cater more for travel if thats what you need, and there are models that are a tripod/monopod but I just wanted a good quality, sturdy, easy to use tripod at a reasonable price. Job done!

This tripod is a tremendous choice among other options in the market today. I've broken this down into PRO's and CON's because there are a few nit picky negatives, but I say GET IT!PROS1. Grip - The tripod is easy to adjust and rock solid in any position. Portrait-landscape position changes are easy and instantaneous. Grip is good allowing it to rotate freely.2. Great construction - It is solidly built, but lightweight.3. Adjustable positions - The main legs can be independently adjusted to any angle allowing for almost any configuration you could think of. The center shaft can be promptly raised or lowered in height.4. Carrying bag - The tripod can be put in or taken out of the bag without removing the head. The bag is high quality with a zipper, and comes with an Allen wrench.5. Solid as a rock - stable!6. Comes with an instruction manual which provides a quick overview on the features and how to use them.7. Tall. Over 5ft, which is very nice.CONSNo cons.Overall, this is a great tripod with a vast bang for the buck.
