K&F Concept 78 inch Camera Tripod for DSLR Compact Aluminum Tripod with 360 Degree Ball Head and 8kgs Load for Travel and Work
SKU: KF09.076
Ive had a ton of tripods over the years. I was recently out birding with a friend and he had this tripod and when I saw it I was blown away by how nice it was. Even more so I was impressed by the value and the price. A great buy overall. I've been using for about 2 weeks now and I literally have zero complaints. 10 out of 10

I'm very impressed! Quality: 5/5 Design: 4/5 Value: 5/5 Pros: can be use as monopod - 80.7 inch, 360 degree metal ball head, detachable foot, foldable, durable Cons: it is compact, but i can get heavy for me for a long hike - I'm 110lb haha. may be i need more exercise. Useful For: armature to advance photography. Others: 3.17lbs / 1.44kg tripod weight and 17.6lbs / 8kg maximum load weight. the ball head is 0.57 lbs/0.26kg. Overall: 5/5I'm in no way an professional photographer, i just started out taking some scenery photos here and there. this thing makes me feel inadequate and that i need to work harder to deserve it hahaha. i went out with a couple of others who are slightly more experienced that me and they all commented on how amazing this tripod/monopod is. the outstanding 28mm 360° metal ball-head allows me to capture smooth short videos and i can adjust any angles possible for pictures. speaking of angles, this thing can hold my Nikon DSLR camera in all possible positions!! upside-down, inverted, tilted, vertical, completely horizontal - and it won't tipped over! i was able to take some ground level photos pretty nicely and easily. the legs have expandable joints that are easy to expend and contract quickly - 18'' to 78'' adjustments.4-section column legs with 3 quick release flip-locks - the lock and release has this satisfying click sounds haha.it comes to 18" folded size, i just attached it to my camera backpack's side and out i go. The other day's hike, it got a bit heavy so i attached it across at the bottom of my pack back, it helps.I love the design that it's all aluminum with black coating and red accents. it makes me look professional from afar. The foot pad can be removed to use as foot nail to anchor the whole structure! Everything feels well made and solid. I expect it will be my best friend as my photography hobby grows! EXCELLENT TRIPOD!

I purchased this product because recently I started a YouTube channel and I have been doing quite a bit of recording videos lately. I had a very cheaply made stand for some lighting that I modified so that I could screw a quarter inch toilet bolt on to it and was able to mount my camera onto the end of that. It was better than no tripod at all, but the more I used it, the more I realized that it was time for an upgrade. What a night and day difference I experienced once I began using this tripod. When this product first arrived the box was so small that I thought that there was going to be some type of assembly required before I can use it. Upon opening the box, I discovered that the tripod is already assembled. It is just oriented inside of the zip-up carrying case to where it takes up the least amount of room possible. or transportation, etc. Set up with super easy. The multiple rings along the main shaft of the tripod can be easily unscrewed an extended by pulling on them and screwing back tight once extended. The three legs are just as simple to extend, if not easier. Each leg has three levers that can be easily released and the leg can then be pulled out to extend and once it's fully extended to your desired length, the three levers can be locked back down, holding everything in place. A lot of other tripods have bars connecting the three legs on the sides so that when one leg is angled out away from the center of the tripod, the other 2 legs must be angled out at the same angle. This is not the case with this tripod, and it gives you the ability to extend and /or angle out the legs in all different lengths or angles, therefore being able to set this tripod up on even the most uneven surfaces. The camera mount part of the tripod is very well made. Everything slides and turns and pivots smoothly, and once locked, it all stays that way. The part with the actual 1/4 in threads that screws in to your camera is a small removable metal plate that can easily be taken out and screwed to the bottom of your camera and then clipped back onto the tripod. This allows you to not have to balance the camera on the top of the tripod as you are screwing it into the threads. This potentially eliminates instances of stripping threads or not being able to get the thread started. Overall, this is a very good entry to mid-level tripod and I am very impressed with the overall build quality and functionality of it. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and I would definitely recommend this product to anyone interested.

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.

I was using the normal default Cannon tripod and this is a HUGE step up. It has everything you could ever need out of a tripod this does it all and even turns upside down. I like the detachable part that screws into the camera so I can attach and disconnect easily and conviently.

I got this tripod for a trip and I am very surprised with the quality. It is very light and small, and it is great to carry for traveling. I took it for a trip to California, and I am using with my Canon with grip and with 50-140mm f2.8 and 16-55mm f2.8 and holds very well. I always put my backpack on the hook to keep it more stable and to keep my gear close to me. To be honest, I was a little bit scared for the price but I gave it a try. I decided to get this tripod and also not to spend lot money in gear, so I could have more money to spend on my trip. At this price point I was unsure of the quality of the tripod, but I can say that the concept is an amazing tripod for photography. It is rock solid even in winds. Although weight may seem like an initial con, the fact is that this tripod is light enough to carry with me yet heavy enough to sustain moderate to somewhat heavy winds for long exposures. If in extreme heavy winds the tripod includes a mounting hook for sandbags or any weight including hanging my camera bag. It has an amazing ball head with the built-in level and the ball head is worth the price of admission. It is light yet extremely durable and can handle some pretty intense weight. It fits perfectly with my everyday bag and the padded leg of the tripod acts as extra protection for my gear when I slide the tripod into my camera bag. This extra detail has led me to bring this tripod with me more than any other tripod. The snap locking legs are the way to go, so I don't waste my time with twist-to-lock legs. I have been able to set up and take a full panorama picture with this concept before some friends with twist locking leg tripods have been able to set up and pull off a single shot. It's easy and fast to make any minor adjustments and never slips once tightened. Overall, it is good quality, low cost and very light. Now my wife is using for her social media work to make videos daily.

Why I didn’t order this sooner I’ll never know. Having used my old one for 25 years seemed to be okay. Then I put this in my shopping cart and left it there for months. Telling my friends to buy this, they did. I was the hold out! Why? I do t know. If you want a tripod that’s sturdy, durable, lightweight, compact, and versatile...then THIS is your tripod! I’m kicking myself for not getting this sooner! Well worth the money!

Wow... this thing is awesome! The quality at this price point blows my mind. I have a lot of tripods as I film for a small youtube channel and I have to say this beats out my 100 dollar tripods. The pan head is smooth and firm. It holds its place and doesn't move on its own. It is very sturdy and folds down small. Comes with a nice carrying case and is made of aluminum.It also turns into a nice monopod and has a weight hook. This thing is great I love it already!

I am a beginner, and I searched a lot to find a tripod with a balanced quality and price. I finally found the one! It is very sturdy (it is made up of aluminum), unlike other cheap quality products. It came inside a nice bag and was already assembled. The total height of the product can go up to 78 inches with a foldable clasp which is way more than I need. Overall, the product is beyond my expectation.
