I received the K&F tripod today because the monopod doesn't always serve me well. and I also had to work with the remote control here and there. Since I'm already the proud and satisfied owner of the KF-TM2534, I thought to myself, come and have a look at what other tripods K&F offers for on the go. The selection on the tripod market is unmanageable anyway and opinions differ widely. And that's when I chose this smaller 1.25 kg travel tripod. In terms of quality, this is also top-notch and also flawlessly painted and looks quite high-quality. +++++ Scope of delivery ++++ The tripod is delivered in a box and a small, odorless, slim shoulder bag which can be used with or without a strap can, I personally lash it to my photo backpack without any bag, because I have to have everything at hand and don't want to unpack umpteen bags. But at home to store it, the bag is okay. The moveable, high-quality tripod head comes in a velvety bag and is quickly screwed on. The tripod head can be unscrewed from the rod and the thread in the rod can also be turned around and screwed directly onto the smaller threaded socket that now appears, for example external flashes or spotlights. I think it's great when I'm doing smaller studio recordings. Of course, it also goes directly to the mounting plate, which also has a standard thread. +++++ Operation +++++ Is intuitively simple and doesn't really need much description. To set up the four legs you loosen the plastic clamps on the legs and the legs slide out. By pressing in the plastic lever, you lock the legs again. There are three screws on the tripod head with which you can adjust all inclination settings. The small mounting plate must be loosened at the top screw and then attached to the camera using a coin or something else. The stand is good and the tripod keeps the camera stable at all angles, the tripod head stays in place and doesn't move. The tripod is approved for 8 kilograms, although I would be careful with very heavy, high-quality lenses. The ball head can be swiveled in all directions, but unfortunately this is not possible without jerks due to the missing lever and therefore this tripod is not for film fans, there are certainly better ones. +++++ Discover the possibilities ++++ TIP for all those who aim high +++++ The maximum height is 1.58, which is not small. Since I'm quite tall, that suits me very well. But since the tripod disassembles nicely, especially the top part, I can combine it with my other larger tripod (rods and screws are the same diameter) and so the tripod, either the KF-T2534 or the smaller KF-TM2324, in screw a tripod with a height of more than 2.15 m. The stability is still top (certainly you have to consider the weight of the lens here and, if necessary, weigh down the tripod on the middle rod on the hook provided for this purpose (sandbag or something else). +++++ Conclusion ++++Solidly processed travel tripod/ Entry-level tripod/second tripod, which impresses with its very good workmanship, for the professional sector I would recommend the other more valuable products from K&F Concepts (the other models have a larger ball joint head). The camera is held stable without slipping. Everything goes smoothly and smoth except for the gold colored locking 'levers' and that's good so the legs don't just slide apart and the camera bangs on the floor. Top price performance!
