I would buy it again (seriously)
I am very happy with the tripod and particularly appreciate the attention to detail of the rubber pads to protect the camera and to hold the tripod legs! “
I needed a compact and lightweight tripod that I could take with me for work that involved traveling by train or plane.

Right out of the box I could see that this tripod would make a nice compact option for me to travel. It's lightweight (weighs just 1.13kg), folds up quite small (46.5cm) and even comes with its own carrying case (which my Manfrotto doesn't). This tripod comes with a ball head - a different camera handling system than I'm used to. I think I could always consider replacing the ball head on this tripod with a 3 way system for future use.

The build quality of the K&F Concept tripod is what I would call decent, but not revolutionary, but at this price point. You don't get carbon fiber or other high-quality materials, but a magnesium-aluminum alloy and plastic frame. Fully extended a 156cm camera can be mounted, which isn't the tallest height by any means, but I think a tripod marketed as a compact won't be the tallest on the market. However, 156cm is probably big enough for most situations. The center column of the tripod can be mounted upside down for macro photography. Like all tripods I have ever used, the K&F Concept tripod has

I liked the small size and lightness of the tripod to take with you. I have to take a lot of gear with me for the shoots, so it's always good to lighten the load a bit. However, due to its light weight, I wouldn't say this tripod will hold up well in windy outdoor conditions when shooting landscapes. It works well for my main uses and the carrying case is a very handy addition. For the price, it's definitely a decent option for a photographer who travels a lot.
