The K&F Concept Tripod Adapter is a versatile and sturdy addition to my photography setup. It fits both my tablet and phone securely, making it perfect for content creation or video calls. The adjustable clamp is easy to use and the build quality feels sturdy due to its solid construction. The multiple mounting options are convenient and allow me to use it with various tripods and stands. The additional cold shoe mount is a bonus for attaching lights or microphones. Overall, it's a reliable and functional accessory for anyone who needs a stable mount for their devices.

I got this to keep in my car for when I need a tripod in a pinch, even for my iPhone (it comes with a phone mount adapter). It's plenty sturdy even for a DSLR with a heavy lens. I think it will serve me well in the field.

The complete small set arrives in a small neutral box. In addition to the basic tripod, there is a small bag made of a kind of Oxford material with which you can transport the tripod. A small plastic bag also contains a small Bluetooth trigger with the associated strap and a screw-on holder for the smartphone. An operating manual for the tripod in English and Chinese as well as a small manual for the Bluetooth trigger complete the picture.

The basic tripod weighs around 890g without attachments, which is quite light for such a tripod.
Optimally folded, you reach a length of about 32cm and a diameter of about 10cm. Ideal to take with you on hikes or excursions.

The three legs can be folded down in three stages (approx. 30°, 45° and almost 90°). In this way, a minimum height of around 35cm can be achieved. The legs have three extensions that can be pulled out and locked in place. So you can balance the tripod very well on sloping and uneven floors. A small spirit level on the tripod would have been ideal for this, but unfortunately it was not used. The rubber foot must be turned to the left, then all three extensions are released and can be adjusted. The set length is locked by turning it briefly to the right. However, the structure of the legs and the lock is kept quite simple and does not make a very stable impression. During the test, it happened to me again and again that a segment or even a whole leg pushed itself back in.

If you pull out the three legs fully and spread them slightly, you will reach a height of around 107cm. The middle rod can also be set in three positions. Locking and releasing also works as with the tripod legs. If the middle rail is also fully extended, you get a maximum height of around 168cm, which is quite impressive for such a small tripod. When fully extended, however, the low weight becomes noticeable, the tripod is not very stable and tends to wobble slightly, especially in strong winds. It is therefore not suitable for long exposures.

To attach a camera or lighting fixture, the tripod has a simple ball head that can be continuously tilted up to 90°. Compact cameras, small bridge cameras or at most one small system camera can be easily and securely mounted on it, heavier cameras such as DSLR or video cameras are definitely too heavy for the system.

If you loosen the lower cover on the center drive, the middle rod can be removed and used as a selfie stick or small monopod

A smartphone can also be attached using the included adapter. This can be mounted either horizontally or upright, for which two tripod threads are available on the adapter. The mobile phone is attached by spring action, the retaining clips are rubberized. A minimum of 6cm and a maximum of almost 9.5cm width can be inserted as a smartphone.
The included trigger is also intended for use with a smartphone. Using Bluetooth, it can be easily integrated into a mobile phone as an input device. The two applied triggers are labeled Camera 360 - IOS and Android, but both buttons have the same function. With my cell phone, the shutter release didn't work at first, only the zoom was activated. After trying out the camera settings, I found the culprit. You had to change the function of the volume buttons from zoom to shutter, then it worked without any problems.

The tripod is well made and makes a stable impression. The height can be adjusted very flexibly.
For the test I only have a DJI Actioncam and my smartphone, both of which the tripod can withstand with ease. In my opinion, no system camera would hold up either, but maybe not with the largest lens. The pack size is perfectly fine, so you can take the tripod with you on any tour. I am very happy with it!

Recently I was looking for a normal, cheap and yet well built tripod to be able to take some great photos outdoors with my smartphone camera. But what I experienced here made my jaw drop.First of all: I have already had experience with tripods, both professional and Canon as well as conventional ones. But this one surpassed everything I've known before. When I took the product out of its packaging, I found a carrying case that was pleasantly well made for the price and contained the packaged tripod.

The lens adapter is very well made and has hardly any play as other adapters are reported to have. The tripod mount is fixed to the adapter, not interchangeable like the original, but this also brings better stability, so from my point of view, better than the original. Focusing and aperture control works perfectly.

If the crush ring is not attached in the Lock position, the aperture blade will not move in the Open position. The EOS M-mount adapter is built better than the SONY E-mount adapter with just the narrower pin (laughs), but despite the fact that the body is too small, the lens weighs quite a bit. So if it is not an adapter with a tripod seat, the mount and the camera screw will be put under enormous stress. Most importantly, FD adapters don't require any tools, and there are few things that detach the tripod seat, so that's an issue.

Perfect service
