I am a professional architecture and interior photographer and also do videography. Was looking for a tripod that is light yet stable and sturdy (since my equipment can be heavy i.e. tilt shift/telezoom lenses, and expensive). This K&F tripod ticked all the boxes and the price point is perfect.
This tripod has an excellent and smooth quick release system which is important for me especially when moving from location to location during the critical lighting window for outdoor shots.
The tripod's height is impressive and it can be extended with an option to attach additional weight at the centre of gravity point to make it even more secure.
The tripod's colour is vibrant and the finishing is smooth.
I personally prefer twist locks for the tripod legs, although this is definitely a matter of personal preference. The legs can also be extended outwards using the quick release clip to have an even lower height. This may be particularly helpful when trying to get a lower vantage point for artistic reasons, such as when focussing on the foreground.
Would definitely reccomend as a studio or outdoor tripod or even for events and travel! Carbon fiber tripods are ideal for travelling.

Being passionate about photography, I wanted to discover photography in low light. Who says photo in low light then says competition tripod. I can't afford to put 180 euros in a tripod. I then found this alternative and I must say that I am not disappointed. Beyond its lightness, it is easy to use. It is very functional and very compact. So I can take it everywhere with me. He never leaves me. I am very satisfied with this tripod.
In addition it offers the possibility of taking photos in Monopod mode and I completely validate! Its kneecap is perfect for making videos it is very smousss.

I was looking all over Amazon for a "travel" tripod... I knew I wanted one under 2 pounds, made of carbon fiber and metal, something compact, with a twist knob and a ball head. I finally came across this one and hesitated because of the price...I decided to bite the bullet and check it out. The packaging was not damaged at all. Once I opened it I was blown away how light and compact it was. I stood it up as high as it went and tested how sturdy it was. I was very impressed. It was exactly what I wanted. The entire tripod is made of strong carbon fiber, the twist knobs are made of metal with rubber grips over them. The ball head is also made of metal. It has a level and compass on the top where you put your camera at. The adjustment knobs on the top of the tripod are made of a strong polymer. For someone who literally will just pick up and go to take photos, travel, backpack, or whatever, it is perfect. It does lack some features, however, those features were not included in the information of the tripod so it is not worth mentioning. Quick summary, it is everything K&F says it is, for the value of this product, it is worth getting!

This is a reasonably light weight tripod that, when setup, is very solid. The setup is easy and intuitive to adjust the legs and then mount whatever you wish with rotate and pan adjustments.Most recently I've used it as a mount for an iPad holder to do video calls indoor and outdoor. As such, this tripod have functioned flawlessly. It is easy to adjust the height and angle of the iPad for the video calls.Excellent product, very very useful right now during the 2021 global pandemic.I hope this helps you.

A very good tripod, the original ball joint is fine but made of plastic.
Since I will often use this tripod with my EOS 90D and a sigma 150-500mm to shoot the moon, I needed a more serious ball head.
So I replaced it with another of the same brand, but more robust, the KF-28.
The original one, I mounted it on my Manfrotto monopod.
I recommend this product with my eyes closed for the price!

I've owned a few carbon fibre tripods over the years but nothing could prepare me for the lightness of this one. It feels feather-light in the hand and I don't notice it when it's strapped to my backpack. It has a sturdy design with precisely the right features to use simply and quickly out in the landscape. Recommended.

Not a lot to say about this tripod that's bad. It's lightweight, looks fantastic, and is pretty adaptable. The three legs provide plenty of stability and the legs can even be deployed on the vertical to allow the camera to sit very close to the ground. Rest assured that those moon pictures will be nice and pretty. Solid recommend .

I bought this tripod because my old one was really not compact enough and was a bit “chip”. With the one if no problem, it even fits in a backpack with its cover. It has a 360 head which is perfect and very practical! It is stable and very solid
I highly recommend it!
I put some photo of the tripod and a shot that I made thanks to him.

After a long hike or the airport check, anyone can tell the huge difference between the carbon fiber and aluminum tripods. This K&F Concept 61" Carbon Fiber Camera Tripod is the first lightweight tripod for me and I love it. It weighs just 2.6lbs with the bag and needs a little space. First I had concerns about the telescopic feet locking rings. Before I always used "clasp" type locks. As I see they need a little bit longer time to extend the legs but they hold firmly.This tripod is standing stable, even I use the telephoto lens or had to deal with windy weather.
