S210 78"/199cm Aluminum Portable Camera Tripods with 360° Panorama Ball Head

I recently purchased the K&F Concept 78-inch Camera Tripod designed for DSLR use. This compact aluminum tripod comes equipped with a 360-degree ball, and let me tell you, it has proven to be the best investment for securing my teleprompter in place.

As someone who relies on a teleprompter for various projects, stability is key to ensuring smooth and professional recordings. The K&F Concept tripod has exceeded my expectations in this regard.

The 78-inch height provides ample elevation, allowing me to position the teleprompter at the perfect eye level for comfortable reading during shoots. The robust construction of the aluminum tripod ensures durability, providing a sturdy foundation for my equipment.

The 360-degree ball head is a standout feature, offering incredible flexibility in adjusting the angle of the teleprompter. This adaptability is crucial for capturing the best shots and accommodating different shooting environments.

What sets this tripod apart is not just its technical features but also its user-friendly design. Setting it up is a breeze, and the quick-release plate simplifies the process of attaching and detaching my teleprompter swiftly.

In terms of portability, the compact design makes it easy to transport to different locations, ensuring that I can maintain consistency in my video productions wherever I go.

In conclusion, the K&F Concept 78-inch Camera Tripod has proven to be an invaluable asset for my teleprompter setup. It provides the stability, height, and flexibility needed for professional video recording. If you're in search of a reliable tripod to hold your teleprompter in place, I highly recommend considering this one. It has truly been the best purchase for enhancing the quality and efficiency of my video production setup.

For the price and quality of this product you can’t go wrong. It’s sleek and light weight. I loved it the moment I got my hands on it. It’s not top of the line but it is definitely worth the price. It looks great and is easy to setup. A definite upgrade to my arsenal. Makes me feel more professional than I am. I would highly recommend it.

Superb Tripod, innovative design, works perfectly, solid and sturdy excellent, not heavy just 8 kg.I needed a tripod to keep using my camera in my part time job.It has an immediate and positive impact on the quality of my photos, little or no vibration or camera shift between shots.Completely new, well packaged tripod as seen in the picures. Excellent product well worth the money.It is different to other tripod designs and it takes some time to getting used to the way it works.Has a detachable foot nail points at the bottom, with rubber ideal for all weather conditions.Great purchase, would definitely recommend it to my colleagues .

The best tripod I've ever used - simply in a different class. Pretty lightweight, both the legs and head of this tripod offer huge flexibility in angle and height, locking securely in place once set. It has a built in level and the camera can also be attached underneath. It pans nicely, so would work nicely as a video tripod as well as its primary purpose for photography. Comes in a nice bag and folds down surprisingly small. Excellent product.

The past few years I have had the fortunate opportunity to be able to try out many different types of camera equipment. I find that there are three big categories: heavy-duty, standard use, and travel. This tripod from K&F Concept is definitely designed to be in that third group. I have a couple of travel tripods that do a fantastic job of holding my full-frame Canon 5D Mark IV with a 70-200mm lens attached. I said that to mention that sometimes the smaller, lighter-weight tripods get the job done so you don’t have to haul around the heavier standard size mounts. K&F Concept did a nice job with the design of this tripod. It’s very lightweight at only 3.17 pounds, which is comparable to my travel-sized Manfrotto tripod.

This tripod has an impressive total height to it of 78 inches, which should be enough for any photograph you need to capture. I am shooting a wedding in a couple of weeks and I have the idea of shooting above the audience from the back of the venue. At 78 inches, this tripod provides the necessary height to be able to achieve that ‘over-head’ shot I’m looking for. The ball head moves easily enough, but the numbers on the bottom dial are faded and printed in a very light color. It’s hard to read -- even in studio lighting. I personally think that those numbers should be printed in a brighter, more vibrant color -- maybe even neon.

The legs extend easily, but the quick-release flip-locks have very sharp edges. I went to unlock one of the legs and the edge of the lock clipped my finger and I started bleeding. I was surprised to find such a sharp edge on a finished product like this. Another issue I found was with the center column. It seemed as though no matter how much I tightened it, I could still push the column down. I was only pushing down with as much force as a camera load would provide.

I really like that the feet had spikes on them. This provides a lot of added traction especially out in nature. It’s not something you see on every tripod and it was a welcome surprise with this design.

All in all, the K&F Concept 78-inch Camera Tripod is a decent, sturdy tripod for beginners. I think that professional-level photographers might find the same flaws with it that I did. I do think that any level of photographer can get use out of this -- especially in places where it might get destroyed. In other words, it’s a good backup tripod.

We have an annual pitch on a campsite by a large lake. Eagles can regularly be seen in the sky here, which I like to observe with binoculars. However, it is exhausting to keep the binoculars steady for a long time. That's why I ordered this tripod.

To attach the binoculars to the tripod, I bought a binocular tripod adapter. Thanks to the common thread, this can be attached very well and I can then also use my binoculars on it.

The tripod has a ball head in the upper area that can be tightened. If you loosen it a little, I can turn the binoculars in all directions, don't get cramps in my arms and can watch the eagles wonderfully.

But I also like to use it for my camera and if you have an adapter for a mobile phone, you can also attach it to the tripod. So it can be used in many ways.

What I really like are the adjustable feet. A spirit level is also attached to the tripod so that you can set it up straight. In addition, it can be extended up to 2m and has a comfortable height to work with.

Very well made, stable, can be extended far and, thanks to the attached spirit level and adjustable feet, it can also be placed horizontally. I like it very much... 5 stars

As a landscape photographer, I tested this tripod in various situations, especially on mountain and high-altitude trails. My review of this K&F Concept model was created by dividing my reviews into five areas: Construction, Stability, Practicality, Compactness, Attention to detail.

CONSTRUCTION: At first glance, the K&F Concept model S210 conveys the feeling of being built with high-quality materials. Aluminum is well made and lightweight.
Unlike last year's models, which featured a plastic ballhead mounting plate, the S210 is — to my delight — aluminum with the letters K and F made of soft rubber on top to avoid possible scratches on the underside of the camera , once it is attached.

STABILITY: I have tested this tripod in various conditions and terrains, mainly in the mountains. I've tested it on steep trails with a good incline, in muddy terrain and with very tall grass, on asphalt and on dirt. In addition, these tests were always carried out in relatively current wind conditions (I was at high altitude and/or in mountainous areas, but very open). On all of the occasions described here, the S210 showed no signs of failure. The final file was tested itself in a long exposure session and found no micro-movements.

CONVENIENCE: This tripod is equipped with systems for unlocking the lever parts, which are extremely practical. In fact, in a few seconds you can unlock all 4 sections that this tripod is equipped with. The lever for unlocking and locking the ball head — the latter with a diameter of 28mm — is very pleasant to the touch and easy to manipulate, as is the lever for rotating the entire head. However, the locking system is very firm and secure. Very useful, especially for those who do macro and vegetation photography, is the ability to reverse the center column and thus place the device very close to the ground. Finally, one of the legs can be unscrewed and used as a monopod, while the central column has a very useful hook,

COMPACTNESS: With just 49cm of space when closed, this model really is an excellent compromise for those looking for a solid and stable tripod with a respectable height — the S210 reaches 200cm with the center column fully raised — but which is easy to transport and weighs only 1.4 kg.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL: At first glance you can see the remarkable attention to detail with which K&F Concept built this tripod. The black and orange color choice is very elegant and the small details such as the hoops on the aluminum plate that recall the manufacturer's name, the hoops that allow you to lock and unlock the second part of the central column, the model number and the Soft grip on one of the legs proves very pleasant both to the touch and from an aesthetic point of view.

In summary, I can only recommend this tripod with an excellent price/performance ratio:

- to those who are looking for an excellent compromise between solidity/stability and compactness/lightness;
- those who need a relatively tall tripod;
- those who want to save something without compromising the quality of the product in the slightest.

So far I've only had very small and shaky tripod experiences, so I was initially surprised by the stability of this tripod, despite being such a lightweight.

The tripod is very multifunctional because you can use it as a tripod, monopod or selfie stick.

It has a spring-loaded hook on which you can hang a counterweight sandbag for a more stable stand.

The setting is very quick thanks to quick-release fasteners on the tripod legs and folding fasteners for height adjustment.

A spirit level is installed on the top, so that panoramic shots can be taken with the 360° ball head with scale.

The scope of delivery includes the tripod with 360° ball head, bracelet, ball head bag, Allen key, tripod bag and operating instructions.

The tripod makes a good impression in terms of workmanship and the choice of materials.
I can recommend it.

Advantages: + Very light (just under 1.5 kg) + Versatile: 3 functions (high tripod, tripod for flat shots, monopod + Robust construction (works after several uses and assembly and disassembly) + Practical quick-release plate, with a clever foldable ring for a good screw connection without tools (only with fingers) + Efficient construction: despite the maximum height of just over 2m, it measures no more than 50 cm when folded in. + Chic design + Price-performance ratio is very good (comes at a height of 2m and costs just over 100€! ) + The mounting head has a spirit level for the horizontal setting; and for special purposes you can align on the horizontal plane according to angle degrees + The carrying case is awesome Cons: - For outdoor use with heavy cameras (e.g. full format with tele, or bridge) and complete or strongly extended (in height) rather shaky: the static position is well maintained, but sensitive to wind and light impacts, the resulting vibrations last 1-2 seconds - Not suitable for video recording with tracking: it has a ball head, but only for static adjustment, no fluid head, no accompaniment lever. - User manuals are in Mandarin and English. The English is easy to understand, but not everything is explained (eg how to get to the monopod version). Only the video which is linked in the Amazon page helps. Conclusion: In my opinion, for indoor recordings or outdoors with compact recording heights or small cameras, it is a very good buy for the price. I'm not giving 5 stars because it's sold as "Pro" but it isn't. The 4 stars are fully deserved.

have been using it with the original 5D for a few days. The tripod goes a lot higher than expected. There is a spirit meter. The ball is metal. The tripod mount is compact and feels strong. I couldn't test it in wind though.
