68"/172cm 5-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with 360 Degree Ball Head - D255C4 + BH-28L(SA255C1)
SKU: KF09.093
For the money it’s a very decent tripod, very stable and feels durable and well made, I have not had a chance to use it extensively and certainly hope its as durable as it seems!

I am very much into river photography in various towns and cities up and down the UK. London, of course, being one of my favourites! The real advantage of this tripod over my more traditional tripod has to be the possibility to pass the camera through the river railings for greater freedom, as opposed to working around the railings. At its maximum height, it’s mostly over the highest point of any obstruction, which it is ideal. Quality and build is really good.

I am very satisfied with the K&F Concept 172 cm carbon tripod. It convinces in all its aspects. Even the travel bag is a very high quality and durable material. The fabric can even be cleaned with a damp cloth to remove dirt.
The tripod itself is ultra-compact and super lightweight. The tripod legs fold up completely so they reduce to a minimum overall length for storage and transport.
On the other hand, the telescopic elements can be extended to an incredible height of over 1.70 m.
The stand is very stable and can be adjusted accordingly on all three legs. The orientation of the tripod in the scales can be easily seen via an integrated display.
The ball joint proves to be extremely practical and is easily adjustable and stable in place.
The quick release plates are excellent. Whether for a camera or a high-quality smartphone. The tripod is well suited to both and ready to use in no time.
The tripod is excellent in price and performance and worth every penny.

I love this tripod and it's versatility. However, with all of it's comforts it makes it a bit difficult to take down and setup elsewhere. Overall it is a great purchase for me.

This product is extremely well made, constructed from carbon fibre, it is very lightweight and compact for its performance. The tripod feels sturdy when setup and is easy to use and adjust. The spirit bubble on the ball head makes setup even simpler. The kit includes the tripod and ball head, carry case and small monopod adapter plus screw piece. The case feels well made and durable. It fits the tripod and included accessories perfectly and makes for easy transporting with the included shoulder strap. The removable monopod leg is easy to use and setup; the ball head can be attached to it or setup as a standard screw thread to attach your camera to. My only criticism which does not affect my rating for this review, is that the instructions could include a little more explanation to accompany the illustrations, as it wasn’t completely clear on how to reassemble the tripod after using the monopod. Top tip: the centre post is inserted from the underside of the tripod. Overall an excellent product and very good value for money. It can easily support most photographers setups in various aspects to help you get the perfect shot. I would definitely recommend this product.

Really very practical I hope it will stay solid over time but in any case I really like it there are many positions and possible uses

A sturdy and feature rich tripod that is tall enough to reach my eye level. This tripod is much lighter than my ancient entry level mancotta, has nice features, and comes with a good case. All of that at a price that is hard to believe.

I've been into photography for over 45 years and this tripod is so ,ight, useful and quickly adjusted I wish I had one a long time ago. One of the legs detaches and becomes a mono-pod. Easily adjustable and light the only thing left out is a hook at the bottom center pole to be able to hang your bag from it to add more stability when doing long exposures or in windy conditions. I intend to see whatever else they sell and see if I can replace any other equipment I have for my photography. Photo was taken with tripod!

Years ago, not knowing what I was looking for, I purchased the Albott 70 inch tripod . It was a good entry-level tripod that is quite traditional with it's pan-and-tilt head and quick release lock. As I started to build out my video and photo equipment (I'm still a total novice), I've found that I needed a tripod that was more compact and sturdy.
This K&F Concept TM2515M1 tripod is certainly not professional level, but it is a good travel tripod. With a ball joint, and a screw-lock plate, I found that it is more versatile than the Albott tripod. With the orange highlights, it is also much better looking.
I've included a few pictures comparing the two tripods. As you can see, with the K&F tripod, I do not compromise on any of the features of the other tripod while gaining a more compact and sturdy frame. The build quality of the K&F is great. All parts are metal and the tripod legs are tightly screwed, giving it a very secure feel.
From the pictures, you can see that compared to the traditional tripod, the head is smaller and easier to pack away, without that long handle to get in the way. The maximum height is comparable to my old tripod, but when packed away, the K&F is much smaller. The carrying case is also more rugged. It has a heavy-grade nylon and the zipper is nice and big. What I'm losing compared to the traditional tripod is the monopod height but I'm not a tall guy, so I would never use the mono fully extended anyway.
The K&F has the upside-down feature that is common among tripods of this kind. It allows one to shoot videos and pictures from a much lower angle without risking the safety of the camera. I can imagine a low-to-the-ground timelapse on the bank of a river looking at boats on the river.
Form really follows function on this one. The orange highlights accentuate all the joint locations and the all round design gives this tripod just a sleek look overall.
I'm quite satisfied with my purchase and the sub-100 dollar price that was exactly what I was looking for.
