I was pleasantly surprised by this camera tripod, which proved to be as versatile as a Swiss Army knife. It reaches impressive heights, making me feel like I might need a step ladder if I were to extended fully. This level of adjustability allows me to capture shots from angles I never thought possible.

I have no complaints about this tripod. My only hope is that it lasts longer than the enthusiasm for a New Year's resolution. The build quality seems robust, which is reassuring, especially considering the investment. While it is a bit on the heavier side, it's a small price to pay for its stability and versatility.

The black and orange color scheme is the cherry on top, adding a stylish flair that makes it stand out in a sea of generic tripods. Overall, it's a solid five-star piece of equipment, perfect for those who frequently use tripods and appreciate a bit of color in their gear.

The tripod itself does what it should. It's stable, it's straight, the quick release plate holds up well and is Arca Swiss compatible, the ball head holds the camera in place and everything feels quite valuable.

Good stable tripod and like the phone mount plate that's class !!

This is a step up from the many cheaper quick release plates on Amazon. It is beautifully constructed with moulded safety catches to prevent the plate from sliding off an arca swiss style quick release clamp.

I have it permanently fixed to a heavy 300mm zoom lens and bought it for use with a K&F ball head but have found that it fits all of my other arca swiss clamps too. The only one it doesn’t accommodate is a Sirui clamp which has no recessed grooves for safety catches. I would avoid buying the Sirui clamp altogether and kit yourself out with this style of plate and clamp combination because it is much more versatile, is cheaper, and in this case, just as well constructed.

I've included two photos showing the quick release plate and a K&F ball head. Just look at the build quality.

A fantastic product.

This tripod is so versatile. It can go high (230cm) or low (macro/ground level). One leg can be detached for a monopod. The mount can be horizontal for panoramic shots. Attachments can be reversed for taking macro shots.

It is quite small and comes with a durable zippered bag, with a handle and a (removable) shoulder strap.

I opted for the larger size because I'm 6'7" and don't want to bend over every time I use it. There's plenty of headroom as a tripod, even with a taller base. wide. The monopod stick is big enough for me too. The monopod collapses tiny and has a standard 1/4" mount - I'll

All settings are well labeled with degrees and indicators, there is also a small green spirit level for ball balance.

No complaints at all; it is well made and well designed.

First, I am usually impressed with K&F products, professional quality photo products at a low price point. I find many good features in the K&F 68" Carbon Fiber tripod, but I have some reservations. The tripod comes in a sturdy zippered case with a detachable shoulder strap. (see photo) There are clear instructions and three Allen wrenches to tighten areas like the Arca plate and leg hinges. Generally, these are for maintenance only, most of time you don't need the wrenches or any tools.

The tripod is of a style that requires the legs to be tucked-over for storage. This protects the ball-head and makes it shorter but it is an extra step to deployment. The leg locks are twist locks, they have a large easy-to-use rubberized knobs and only take a half turn. These twist leg locks work well. I prefer lock levers on the legs because they are quicker to deploy, and for my style of photography that is important.

The K&F weighs under three and half pounds. (see photo) A very good weight compared to most competitor's tripods. Though when the legs are fully deployed they have a slight wobble. (see video) Fine in most cases but could be a problem shooting long exposures in the wind. The wobble goes away when the legs are shorter.

Changing leg angles, making into a monopod, and swapping central column to hang the camera upside down are easy thanks to smart modern design.

The excellent ball head and Arca-Swiss compatibility is fantastic. (Fully compatible with my Peak Design Arca Plate) Large knobs and well machined parts make the BH-30 head a breeze to adjust. I found the head and tripod worked well with my Sony A7r and a long lens.

In this price bracket this is a very good tripod. I am taking off a star for the slight wobble in the legs when fully deployed

This is a step up from the many cheaper quick release plates on Amazon. It is beautifully constructed with molded safety latches to prevent the plate from slipping off an Arca-Swiss quick release clamp. I mounted it tightly to a heavy 300mm zoom lens and bought it to use with a K&F ball head, but have found it fits all my other Arca Swiss clamps as well. The only one it can't accommodate is a Sirui clamp, which doesn't have recessed grooves for security latches. I would avoid buying the Sirui clamp whole and stock up on this type of plate and clamp combo as it is much more versatile, cheaper and in this case just as well constructed. I have attached two photos showing the quick release plate and a K&F ball head. Just look at the build quality. A fantastic product.

I have an older, vintage camera tripod that I've been using for several years. It was much more expensive than this one. The K&F Concept 70"/177cm Portable Tripod is just as sturdy and a much better value. For heavier cameras, I always look for the hook at the center of the tripod because sometimes in outdoor conditions, I like to hang a sandbag to make sure it doesn't get blown away by the wind. The legs extend with no issues and there is a bubble level near the camera mount. This is much nicer in quality engineering than I had expected especially due to the smoothness of the moving parts. You can mount your camera very high, so this would work well in environments like auditoriums where you will need a higher perspective. This is much more light than my old one and it comes with it's own nylon storage/carrying bag. Thankfully, it takes the standard 1/4" threading on the mount and they were nice enough to include a cell phone adapter, so it's for versatile use.I find the K&F Concept 70"/177cm Portable Tripod to be a fair to good value. I've seen similar tripods as reviews and they were lacking in engineering and quality of materials. This is a good tripod and I would strongly recommend it to anyone with a heavier camera or equipment.Thanks for reading my review. If you found it helpful, click he Helpful button below.
