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.

Awesome tripod,
I tried it as soon as it arrived and was amazed at how tall it is when full extended,
The quality is amazing and it’s super sturdy, comes with a real nice carry bag too,
K&F manufacture some really nice products, I’d have no problem purchasing in the future, highly recommend this tripod for quality.

ordered the 79" K&F first but it was lost in transit so instead I chose ordered this unit. I'm using it for a full frame canon 5dsr with 70-200m and a Sony a6600 with 16-55 Sony lense. The tripod is sturdy and very easy to for 360 degree movement. Great product. Highly recommended.

Can't fault this as a travel tripod. Very easy to use and provides good support for my Nikon 750 full frame DSLR.

I liked using this while on my travels through Europe. I like the adjustable length and the tripod features. The remote control worked very well with my Pixel 7. There's a 1 - 2 second delay for the remote shutter to send the signal to the camera phone. Nonetheless, it's a great value for the money. I do recommend this product.

Cable length and durability

First tripod for my iPhone. Love it!

We will use the monocular mostly for watching wildlife in our backyard, but the other night we looked at the full moon and it was spectacular! In addition, the remote worked as soon as I connected it via Bluetooth on my phone (no need to get the app). We do have to remove our phone cases to get the phone attached to the monocular, but that was expected. The tripod is great and we've also used the monocular on our full-sized tripod. You really can't go wrong with this set!
