An awesome tripod and grip for smart phones, point n shoot and small DSLR cameras. Maybe a light Canon Ra mirrorless series with a small lens. As camera weight goes up usable extension goes down with less control and swaying. Here are some weight numbers to play with. I use an iPhone 14 Pro Max (240g) and a Canon G7 X (304g) at full extension. An older Canon Rebel SL1 DSLR with 24mm EF-5 lens (532g) with 4 and with a heavy 18-135mm EF-S lens (857g) 3 extensions. Go with a Zhiyun Smooth 5S Gimbal with iPhone 14 Pro Max (865g) for 3 extensions.

Outside with the full 62 inch extension in the wind smart phones and even GoPro cameras will move around some. Think about ropes to secure it if you need the height for a shot or lower the extensions for a more stable platform. Indoors with a robust tripod I have no fear putting the most expensive iPhone ever made on it.

As weight goes up the weakness is the 180 degree control head with a smooth locking surface. As tight as possible this can slip with heavier loads especially with a motorized gimbal moving around. The solution would be a control head with a geared locking surface and even better a metal version that would eliminate any slippage as well as no worries when adding accessories to the setup.

Maybe next year Eucos will come up with a 'Pro' version having an improved gear locking head for a little more cost. If not maybe they could provide a removal control head so we can replace it with a Manfroto version. They have already nailed so many issues we look for in a tripod as with strength and durability in such a small reasonably light package especially running around a mountaintop with a backpack of camera gear.

For now with light cameras this needs to be in your arsenal of tools making great videos when an expensive gimbal takes time to setup while this can do a lot of the same movements as you are the gimbal. It is so very well balanced forget all those other grip solutions for a smart phone or whatever you use. Go with the best tripod and grip at the moment then make great videos.

To be straight forward on this review want you to know that I really like what this company offers in quality picture taking accessory items. This Tripod kept my faith and gathered my full approval forthright.

It has almost everything going for it. It stands tall and mighty at a full 70 inches. From there you have a folded up compactness for toting of only 17 inches. That feature does sacrifice the use of a center brace. However, the construction of the legs is solid reinforcement and the need for a cross brace in most instances of image capturing in the field is rare, or so it is for me.

The zippered carrying bag is of good quality, the locking snaps on the tripod's legs are positive acting and smooth. One hand adjustments to height of the stand can easily be achieved using only one hand.
The top of the mount has an appropriate tiny arm extension that holds the bubble level. The quick connect works very smoothly and without suggesting that there can be danger from a sudden dismount of a camera or scope.

THE STAR OF THE SHOW:
Now we come to the greatest feature of this tripod's accessory package.
A well designed wireless phone adapter. I usually have no regard for these damaging bear-traps that can destroy a valuable phone. Not in this case because you set the grip, not torturous springs that can exert far too much pressure on the surround of your phone and in some cases upon the edges of the screen itself. This accessory by K&F Concepts for mounting the phone in a pinch situation, is one of the best in the biz. Well made, good machining, secure grip pads...and you set the amount by turning the grip pressure adjusting machine screw with a large grooved knob at one end.
I never put my phone into one of these gadgets on other accessory packages but this one from K&F is a welcomed exception to my usual opinion and non-use of such an item. I actually celebrated this surprise by using the adapter and affixing my phone to the top of the tripod. It is a quality, useful item, and contributes substantially to the value of this tripod.

I think you are beginning to see why I like this company...they think things out, they listen, and they design to please the marketplace.

Great tripod at a very modest price. It is an excellent value so it receives my full approval with Five
BIG STARS.

This is a really nicely made selfie stick from K&F. It extends smoothly, with a good amount of friction meaning it'll stay in which ever position you place it. The stick grip area is made out of silicon making the contact point easy to maintain a firm grip, versus not. I like the addition of the 1/4" screw connector at the bottom of the stick to add a tripod. I will say at this point level it's very easy to find selfie sticks that come with a tripod included versus this one that does not. This feels like a premium product and will certainly please those seeking such an item.

The overall length is excellent, as demonstrated in my photo. Plus when extended it's still very stiff versus not.

It's important to me when attaching an expensive piece of equipment to a selfie stick that it'll remain attached. This stick certainly provides that reassurance. Plus really like the idea of being able to add my own mounts to the stick beyond the simple GoPro option.

This is a super compact tripod that is really lightweight and sturdy, it's the perfect mini tripod for saving weight and space and ideal for me for my outdoor adventures , wild camping and trekking.

The tripod is easy to use , just pull the legs out to form the tripod and pull the top of the tripod to choose the length up to 32cm , you can adjust the length by 5 segments , the pole of the tripod is lightweight aluminium or metal, it slides out easily but also feels firm and durable , it's a good design for action cameras such as gopro.

The hand grip feels comfortable when closed , there are rubber grips on each leg of the hand grip so you can get a good grip and hold of it.

It really is mini but is so useful, it fits in the palm of my hand and weighs less than 80g and fits in your pocket with ease.

I'll definitely be using this to save space on my wild camps , it comes with the attachment and screw designed for action cameras so I can quickly fit my gopro to it in seconds when needed.

This is an excellent lightweight option for a small tripod for action cameras

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.

This tripod convinced us with its lightness, really very light, it is ideal for those who plan a lot of trips and want to take this tripod with them everywhere, its super compact size makes it the best friend of bags, backpacks and hand luggage. Excellent folding handle that allows a comfortable grip for short trips without having to store the tripod and thus always have it ready for use and without always having to fight your legs to find a comfortable grip. This tripod makes readiness one of its key features, as the clip-release legs, which we prefer to screw-on legs, makes it very quick to set up, from closed and stowed in the backpack to fully open with the machine in position in less than 30 seconds, you will never miss a moment again.

The tripod is really great! You can see from the grip that it is a quality and very robust tripod! I am really not disappointed with my purchase.
