K&F Concept SA254M1 62'' DSLR Camera Tripod Lightweight and Compact Aluminum Detachable Monopod Tripod with 360 Panorama Ball Head Quick Release Plate for Travel and Work

I have never really been overly fussed about carbon fibre tripods, I've used metal tripods for years and liked the weight of it. When the K&F Concept 67" Carbon Fiber Camera Tripod arrived I was surprised at how light weight it was, The Ball head is the heaviest part of the tripod. Now I must admit i have a low profile KFconcept ball head so i changed it over onto this tripod. The legs are smooth and quick to release and retain and I like how premium it feels.The tripod handled everything i threw at it. I went out on a four hour shoot do take some star trail shots.. The tripod was that sturdy that I didn't need to align any shots in Photoshop! no camera shake, no movement. It was SOLID.I took some macro shots and again, no shake and the image pin sharp.The last one I tried was a 6 minute sunrise shot and again even with wind the tripod was solid. I didn't weight the tripod down with my bag. It didn't need it..If you are in the market for a new tripod I would highly recommend this one, you won't be disappointed, It's VERY sturdy and I would be happy to and already do use it for my paid photography work.

I am pleasantly surprised at how incredibly light this tripod is. At first, I had a flexible camera tripod and a second more sturdy aluminum tripod (for windy days and short hikes). Now I will be selling both, my aluminum triopod, although sturdy, was a pain to carry on hikes when I was trying to cut down on weight. And the flexible tripod, although lightweight was useless unless there was a branch or something similar to hang it from. Even then, I was nervously taking a photo, while hoping that it could support the weight of my very expensive camera equipment.This, on the other hand, once strapped on my backpack I barely noticed it. Sometimes I found myself doing a double-take to make sure it had not fallen off. But do not let the weight fool you, this is sturdy, I live in Scotland and this could stand Scottish winds without a second thought. If I was in doubt I would just hang a weight from the hook underneath the center column. And boy is this tripod versatile, it gets incredibly low, high, the angles it holds, it is like watching a yoga instructor go from one position to the next effortlessly. The ball head is very smooth and the camera feels very safe and in place. Again what makes this outstanding is the price point for carbon fiber tripod. I have a mirrorless camera, so I generally like carrying less and now I do not have to compromise for utility for weight when going on hikes anymore.

The media could not be loaded. PositivesGood buy as this is very sturdy for the number of sections it uses and the ability to extend to a monopod and adjust to low level macro photography is great.It's very easy to change and fits nicely into a sturdy bag. Seens very well made and I like the colours with good rubber feet and for the price this rates against a lot higher priced ones.The panoramic head is very smooth and easy to move whilst appearing well made and takes weight well and keeps it position when tightened.Hook underneath is a little small but will accept a camera bag to add to stability if the handle is quite small a handy plus not in the description so more a niggleNegativesThe worst annoyance with this is the baseplate which is easy removal not really the quick release ones I would say but the actual screw does not fit into my camera enough to give a solid base and this allows for a wobble as stated in other reviews. ( see video) with care normal photography is possible and fast shutter speeds.Any long exposure photos are affected by this especially at night shoots where slightest movements can affect a shot immensely. If i had done this quicker i would have been in the return window and tried to get the baseplate returned.The twist locks can be a little unforgiving if not tightened that little bit extra , although the weight they take once done seems to be very good and more of a extra check you will need to think about and take a few more seconds.Overall i would buy again tho I have had to use a cheap baseplate from my aldi tripod to get a stable connection with the camera and is the only real reason this loses 1 star.

This product is extremely well made, constructed from carbon fibre, it is very lightweight and compact for its performance. The tripod feels sturdy when setup and is easy to use and adjust. The spirit bubble on the ball head makes setup even simpler. The kit includes the tripod and ball head, carry case and small monopod adapter plus screw piece. The case feels well made and durable. It fits the tripod and included accessories perfectly and makes for easy transporting with the included shoulder strap. The removable monopod leg is easy to use and setup; the ball head can be attached to it or setup as a standard screw thread to attach your camera to. My only criticism which does not affect my rating for this review, is that the instructions could include a little more explanation to accompany the illustrations, as it wasn’t completely clear on how to reassemble the tripod after using the monopod. Top tip: the centre post is inserted from the underside of the tripod. Overall an excellent product and very good value for money. It can easily support most photographers setups in various aspects to help you get the perfect shot. I would definitely recommend this product.

I've had this tripod for 3 years. It's light, easy to use and is perfect for me (hobbyist). Somehow one of the clamps on the leg broke. I contacted K&F support through their website as my tripod was out of warranty. Claire from K&F was super helpful and made sure I got the right part, I only had to cover the shipping cost. Now my tripod is ready for the next trip! Thanks Claire!

This tripod is great, hits nearly all of the marks. It's quite sturdy, well-built, and I really love the monopod conversion feature. It would be five stars, but I have a slight issue with the tripod head rotating just a little bit at times. This is likely some sort of user error, but if it isn't, I thought I'd include it. Overall, this is almost a steal for the money.Edit: It must’ve been user error, as after making sure everything was tightened properly the issue went away.

Muy buen equipo, buena calidad del los acabados y el material, lo recomiendo, trae su estuche de viaje, el color naranja con negro combinan y se profesional.

El producto es justo el de la publicación, las cualidades y lo versátil que es pueden verse en reseñas de Youtube, pero lo que puedo añadir es que se siente de muy buena calidad tanto por su ensamblaje como por sus materiales.

A tri-pod in it's simplest form is a three-legged stand for supporting a camera or other apparatus. I've used several tripods throughout the years, and each one excels at one thing or another. Some are light, some are super sturdy, and some are miniature making them easy to pack away or carry on a day trip.For my general photography use (product photography, long exposures) I've found that finding the right set of compromises leads to the best tripod for my needs. That's where I've found the K&F to excel at meeting my specific set of needs. Here's what I like:The tripod is light. It's not feather weight, or forget it's there light, but it's light enough to be able to carry around all day strapped to a comfortable camera bag. Weighing in at just 3.3 lbs, it's about as light of a travel tripod built of aluminum I could expect.Completely folded, this tripod is about 17 inches long. Plenty of "collapsability" to be able to pack it on the side of your bag without it sticking up in the air.This tripod feels really well built for being a sub $100 travel tripod. When you hold it, it feels and looks substantial. Not heavy, just very tight tolerances, and generally aesthetically pleasing. The anodizing on the aluminum lock-outs and ball head are a really nice touch. It is rated to hold 22lbs/10kg. I'm certain it will hold that easily, if not more. The rubber grips are all implemented nicely with zero movement between the rubber grip and the lock out it turns.So, the absolute most important factor for me in a tripod, is obviously the stability. While this tripod will extend to almost 69 inches/175 cm, it's most stable when the center support is at the mid to low setting, and only the top three leg extensions are out. It's absolutely rock solid at it's med high, to mid level settings. When everything is extended to full height, a strong wind would absolutely introduce some movement.Leg lock outs are as expected. They lock out firmly and confidently when unfolding. When extending the legs, the rubber twist locks are easily tightened and I have zero doubt about their ability to stay put.The 28mm ball head is surrounded by what looks like a teflon sleeve offering smooth camera movements. The head also pans buttery smooth like a geared or fluid head would. The Arca-Swiss mount is a great option and seems to be the new standard in quick mounts. The Arca base also has a spirit level which is handy if your camera doesn't have in-camera level indication.One leg is designed to be used as a monopod. I don't use that feature, but it's nice to have and easy to transition. Under center post is a bag or weight hook. This can be removed revealing a 3/8 female mount. Great for mounting a second ball head for quick camera position swaps. My only gripe would be that the feet are not replaceable. They are shallow spiked rubber feet that are not interchangeable. They work fine for light duty use.All in all, I am very happy with this tripod purchase. At $90, I'm not sure you could get a better photo tri-pod for general use photography. It's lightweight, stable, and looks great. Just buy this tripod already, you won't be disappointed.
