Looking for a light and compact tripod to organize a trip, I came across this one, barely 1kg300 for 38cm folded. It also offers the possibility of making a monopod very quickly, which will be interesting for taking a picture in a place where a tripod would not have been possible. For such a small build, the tripod is very solid as it easily supports the weight of my 6d Mark II with its handle and its two batteries + a Sigma 70-200. (even when the articulated arm is extended). The tripod's legs have 5 sections, allowing it to be adjusted from approximately 35cm to 155cm, and the center column can be flipped to allow the unit to be placed at ground level! It comes with a carrying case, an extension for the monoball monopod, Supplied with a ball head with an "arca swiss" type quick plate, which allows the lens to be attached directly to the ball joint without using the quick plate (see photo 4). In summary, a purchase that I do not regret and that is more than qualitative for its price.

The legs of the tripod have 5 sections, which allows it to go from around 35cm to 155cm and the central column can be reversed to allow the device to be placed at ground level!

In conclusion, a purchase that I do not regret and which for its price is more than qualitative.

This is a very serious tripod for video or photography. The unit is a bit heavy even though it's all aluminum but I only need to use it in the field on occasion so no worried there.It is similarly heavy duty as the Leofoto carbon fiber one I got a few months ago that is also for serious shooting all day in the field.I have a lot of K&F Concepts gear and all of their stuff is high quality with excellent build and materials for years of reliable use.

When I was looking for a video tripod for my bridge camera, I decided on this tripod. Since there were no pre-reviews, I had to buy the "pig in a poke". But since other Cayer tripods have been rated well, I decided to buy them. The decisive factor for me was that the tripod should be robust and extendable. The tripod has now been delivered and corresponds to the item description.
My description refers to the first impression after trying it out, I can't yet provide any long-term experiences.
The Cayer AF2451 is made of sturdy metal with only a few plastic parts and, as you would expect, it is not a very light tripod. The carrying case that comes with it also makes a robust impression. I hadn't really understood how the fixation of the legs works from the texts. The system also makes a very stable impression. A small silver-colored metal plate can practically be pulled out so that each leg can move freely. If you push this part in, it can press itself into one of the three specified "steps" so that one of the three possible angular positions is fixed. Simple but robust and effective. (On other tripods, the "detents" have sometimes stuck, which is not the case here.)
The tripod is very stable even when fully extended. With the tripod you can reach a height of approx. 1.90 m of the optical axis of a camera mounted on it. The clip locks for the tripod legs are easy to use. There are two small circular spirit levels for adjustment, one on the "spider" of the tripod and one on the video head. This can be fine-tuned using a screw on the side. You can't adjust the resistance for turning the head and tilting it, but you can adjust the pressure of the locking screws, so that you can adjust the "ease of movement" a bit.
As shown in the picture, the base plate is secured against accidental slipping out with a button. I also have no complaints about the clamping device for the holding plate. The rubber feet can be exchanged for spikes, which are included in the scope of delivery. Various Allen keys are also included for tightening the screws. The stand rod has a hook at the bottom to which a weight can be attached. This bracket can be unscrewed so that the rod can also be attached upside down in order to achieve small distances to the ground.
As shown in the pictures, the leg with the casing can be unscrewed so that you can also make a monopod together with the middle tripod rod.
Overall, everything makes a stable and solid impression. I'm curious to see how the tripod will prove itself in use.

it is very stable, much more stable than more expensive mobile video tripods. fluid head is not perfect but also works very well, even with larger setups. I wouldn't be afraid of the head falling forward or backward because of the weight. the legs are also very sturdy and not flimsy. Definitely recommended, especially because of the price/performance ratio. you don't always have to buy the best-known brands, you have to buy the right thing for the right price.

Of excellent quality at a very small price. I used it on a monopod, it can be set up on its own or with fluid movements. Easy to open and close. Both small and large inch photo thread adapter.

This is a very serious tripod for video or photography. The unit is a bit heavy despite being all aluminum, but I only need to use it occasionally on site so I don't have to worry.

It's similarly robust to the Leofoto carbon fiber model I got a few months ago, which is also capable of serious all-day shooting in the field.

I have a lot of K&F Concepts gear and all of their gear is of high quality with excellent workmanship and materials for years of reliable use.

I just received the part and it will be returned promptly. It's partly made of aluminum, but the important parts are made of cheap plastic. The head is shaky and scratches when panning. The whole tripod does not make a stable impression. Since I had a 30 euro Hama, which was much better. Otherwise I use a ToGoPod, which is great. But now that I want to do more video, I was looking for a video tripod. This isn't it. In terms of processing and my application, I assume that the part will not survive a month. It's a shame... Because for 50 euros it's easily possible to get more quality - be careful of the pun - on your feet.
