64"/1.6m Lightweight Travel Tripod Compact Flexible & Portable 17.64lbs/8kg Load K234A1 + BH-28L( old model BI234M)
SKU: KF09.101
This is the tallest and most durable tripod I have purchased for outdoor photo shoots. Since the photos and descriptions on the product page are thorough and show what the tripod is capable of doing, I will focus on the functions and features not highlighted that I appreciate about the K&F S210 Concept tripod.
This tripod includes a KF-28 swivel head and holds my Sony Mirrorless AIII camera with an attached lengthy G telephoto lens. The 1/4 inch screw in the quick release Arca swiss plate to accommodate all my previous mounting adapters.
The wide spread and thick metal tube legs even allows me to hold my camera equipment with it long legs and almost to the ground level thanks the red metal spring loaded adjusters. This tripod uses metal components except for the rubberized texture on the legs for the twist locking mechanism. This is comfortable and provides grip to quickly setup and the foam covered leg can twist and turn to form a tripod with extension tube. These leg extension mechanisms do not catch cords or clothing like the traditional plastic flip clips.
For storage and transport it folds to under 20 inches and weighs slightly over 4 pounds. This tripod can be stored in my backpack or on the outside lashed. Most tripods give a low quality bag made of thin fabric with small breakable zipper and an uncomfortable strap. Since K&F concert concept also makes high quality photography backpacks ( I can speak from experience since I own one of their backpacks) the company gives you an awesome carry bag that is worth $30 by itself. The bag has a durable exterior and has thick padded surfaces that is hidden between the grey thick fabric layer and interior black nylon that is easy to wipe clean if dirty from the tripod feet. The top of the bag features a reflective stripe that is an inch wide that goes around the bag, I was not aware of it until I was at an evening shoot and the light caught the bag.

The tripod is good and looks high quality.
Ideal for tall photographers, it's hard to find a tripod with this range.
It's stable on its feet with a Canon EOS 80D.
It's a bit tricky to level the camera by weight as it adjusts (choose)

It is really sturdy and I'm so excited about this Tripod! Very easy to take photos especially long exposures.It's very light and quite high. The ball head is metal! It will be my traveling tripod companion. I really like the case it came with. It is compact and feels very rugged and durable.Definitely recommend having one of these for the travel tripod category!

needed a cheap, lightweight (similar) tripod for a sudden trip as I had to walk quite a bit and this seemed to fit well. The head pivots easily, is easy to adjust and locks firmly into place with no issues. The plate mount is Arca-Swiss compatible so I had no trouble swapping plates on all my gear which was a bonus. The legs insert quickly and lock very securely. They are relatively robust for the small cross-section. Some reviews mention that the tripod isn't very stable, and when the center tube is fully extended with a heavy lens/camera I can confirm that there is some (albeit relatively minor) wobble. However, I had small problems with smaller MFT devices, especially when the tube was lowered. Using a guy rope and attaching the tripod via the spring hooks kept the tripod stable in high winds on the side of a very exposed mountainside. I haven't had time to use the tripod for any length of time so I can't confirm its long term durability but I'm fairly confident that it will withstand reasonable abuse no doubt time will tell. Is it as good as my Manfrotto? Of course not, but it's less than 1/5 the price and 1/3 the weight, I would buy one again if it ever got stolen.

Short of buying into ultra professional equipment, which is a little like overkill, this unit does everything tripod related, and if you buy the complete version, accessories include a small spirit level, so no more wonky horizons or unwanted converging verticals. Might as well get the best shots you can to start with rather than missing around with un-square images in photo software after. Mostly aluminium except for some plastic release catches and rubber feet, so won't get loose and rickety too quickly, like those cheap generic badged tripods. Also comes in a cute carry bag, with adjustable straps. Couldn't fault any of it.

It is a versatile easel with precise mechanisms and all metal and carbon parts that make it light and robust. The price is all worth it! A piece of advice, provide a protective mat between the 3 parts once placed in the bag ... you will avoid wear and tear during transport.

Without the ball head I would give 5 stars. It doesn't lock down well with a spotting scope or a heavy lens and camera body on it. I ended up buying a Neewer pan/tilt head which luckily fits the K&F tripod nicely. Other than that, it's a decent device. Just keep in mind that it's a travel tripod and won't give you a solid mount that's impervious to wind or manual adjustments. For that, I keep looking for that elusive, affordable tripod.

am 5’8 and with shoes I am taller and this is the best tripod ever for your money, stable, inexpensive, tall for tall ppl and even short and /or able to move to a lower position for product photoshoot a or videography shoots. Strong, don’t blow in wind and nice color and came in great condition, had it over 3 months now, great for cameras and iPhones ( I got a phone mount from best buy by joby )
