A good travel tripod. It is compact and lightweight yet sturdy. Great value for money.

I have been on the lookout for a super lightweight and highly versatile tripod to take with me at a moment’s notice for quick video assessments.
That’s when I discovered this K&F CONCEPT B174A1 Travel Tripod with Bluetooth Remote for Camera Smartphone.
Weighing in at just a little over 1 1/2 pounds, this aluminum and plastic tripod is very well constructed, and folds down to a length of just 17 inches for easy storage in a vehicle or lashed to a backpack. By unlocking the tripod legs, this product can be extended up to 60 inches in length.
The head of the tripod is designed to either use an expandable compression spring clamp (4.3” to 6.8”) to hold your smartphone, or a cold shoe to accommodate a screw-on conventional camera. The 3-way directional axis pan head allows for smooth 360° horizontal rotation and adjustable tilt angles to capture a full field of imagery.
A small but value-added detail is the inclusion of a miniature dot-level to help ensure that your tripod is leveled-out for perfectly framed shots. It’s a small green circular level with an even smaller bead within, and located on the upper surface of where the top portion of the tripod legs attach to the center shaft.
Also Included in the product offering is a camera remote shutter control fob, as well as a nifty soft carrying bag to store the tripod and remote.
A compact, lightweight tripod will inevitably have some trade offs, regardless of how well it is made, and that applies to this product as well. With lightweight tripods, the lack of weight means potentially less stability when shooting in the field. That can be overcome if needed by adding either an aftermarket center-mounted counterweight, or investing in a sand/rock bag to suspend beneath the tripod in a sort of hammock. But for the most part, lightweight compact tripods like this have their place and do quite well for most assignments.
Overall, I have been very impressed with this K&F CONCEPT B174A1 Travel Tripod, and can recommend it to anyone needing a quality- built portable tripod that can perform double-duty for use of smartphones or conventional camera use.

The tripod is of high quality and a good travel tripod, as it can be attached to the side of the backpack. Of course, it is not a lightweight, whether you would take it with you on a mountain tour, for example, you have to think about, or preferably try it out.

I ordered this tripod as I needed a lightweight, compact, sturdy travel tripod for my trip.
I read many reviews from several travel tripods and settled on this one.

I am so glad I did as this tripod is perfect, it’s so lightweight, compact and hardly noticeable when carrying for a full day.
It comes with its own bag included within the price. Some other tripods you have to pay additional price for the bag.
It folds down to such a small size and the weight is very light.
The tripod is sturdy enough to hold my Canon 5div and a 24-70 f2.8 lens.
The legs can be adjusted so it gets low to the ground for when I’m taking landscape photos.
The head of the tripod the middle section pivots so it can be angled over railings so you don’t miss that shot or get any unnecessary objects in the way.

My trip involved lots of walking up mountains, some very uneven terrain and some less than ideal conditions. Such as rain and wind, the tripod managed perfectly and that is why I’m giving it a 5 star review.
Just ensure when in heavy wind the tripod is setup correctly before attaching your camera.

Attached are some photos from a recent outing for sunset.

Great travel tripod easy to use lightweight and made with quality materials, you sacrifice sturdiness for lightweight but the hook underneth is strong enough to hang your backpack to add stability.comes with carry case to protect during transport

It is very simple, because it is lightweight and compact. Sometimes I have to travel to my clients for food shots and i have to carry with me the gear and I wanted something to save on weight and size. This tripod is what I needed. The quick release more with the phones. It is very practical to have it around and I consider a good addition that you get this with the tripod.

like the fact that this tripod is lightweight and the carbon fiber makes it a sturdy travel tripod. I had some trouble with one of the legs not being properly extended. However, I think it just stuck temporarily because it was new. Legs straighten and lower now flawlessly. I haven't played with it enough to get comfortable with all the features, but the couple of times I've used it while traveling it works perfectly. I have to practice with the ball head so my camera doesn't wobble back and forth. The clamping device used to secure the camera is a screw type grip and I'm not very happy with the security that provides. I wish it had a better trigger, more like a quick release button that allows the camera to be held and released more securely, on the footplate that goes from the camera to the ball head mount. Otherwise, I find this a very useful and sufficient tripod to take the suitcase with you when travelling.

I am very happy with this lightweight travel tripod. It is extremely versatile and can be used in a number of configurations as shown in the attached photos. The build quality is very good, each of the legs has a latch that engages when extended. One of the legs is fully detachable and can be used as a monopod. The tripod head has a smooth movement that is great for videography. Very satisfied.
