I've had many tripods over the years. Never seemed to find one I liked best. Until I found this. It's perfect. There are so many options right, the foot bezel gives you options to use it on completely uneven terrain, oh, did I mention it has a built-in level to help ensure you're perfectly level too? It's amazing. I have really bad hand tremors, and they're only getting worse, so this has made photography (which is one of my favorite passions) extremely difficult to do these days. And as cheesy as it sounds, this tripod really helped bring that back to me.

This is very robust and has a quick change bracket for the camera. Easy to open and adapt to any type of service and height.

The tripod is well made. Joints stretch and move easily.

The tripod has a good base for me, it has clip fasteners. I don't use twist locks, I think these are more susceptible to dirt or sand in the thread. It's a good size: it's not exactly compact, in the normal folded working position it's a little big at 55 cm in small backpacks. But even without the center column extended, it reaches the usable height of 1.38 m, which is great. Tripod head is OK, Arca Swiss plates fit on it. For practical use: When it's not windy, I can work with Fuji DSLMs without any problems, I was even able to use my Nikon D7500 here. Considering that this represents the maximum size in terms of weight, for large full-frame cameras you need heavier tripods. When there was no wind, I was even able to use a Fuji with a small telephoto without the photos being blurred. When there is little wind, I also use it to record videos. The quality is very good for the price. Of course I can't compare the quality and durability with my heavy Manfrotto, but that cost almost 300 euros even with a big spherical head. And especially on longer hikes, I don't feel like carrying the heavy tripod. I am very satisfied with the tripod, I think the price/performance ratio is great.

The tripod's height is impressive and can be extended with the option to add extra weight at the center of gravity to make it even more secure.

Preface: Hello friends, I have been involved in photography for about 2 years now and this has also become my daily hobby. That's why I wanted to improve my existing equipment. In the beginning I had a tripod for 20€ and I gained my initial experience with it. Like many of you, I too wanted more possibilities and more comfort in photography. Now I would like to describe my experiences and the differences for a €20 tripod for beginners. So you can have your own idea if a more expensive tripod is worth it for you. Quality and differences for cheap tripods: After the product arrived I noticed the first difference, the material of the bag was a little thicker and of superior quality. After unpacking the tripod, I assessed the finish and how much play the tripod had. I have absolutely nothing to complain about the processing of metals and this is at a very high level. Some plastic elements show that not everything is perfectly processed. Compared to my cheap tripod, the legs can be unfolded individually, which in my opinion gives me a lot more options. The spherical head can also be adjusted much easier, more specifically and, above all, more comfortably than on my cheap head. Here I have to adjust 2 axes separately with the lever, which gets a bit annoying in the long run. What fascinated me most, however, was the possibility of turning the tripod around and getting very close to the ground. Such possibilities are usually not offered with cheap tripods. So I can finally take calm macro shots and take pictures from completely new perspectives. Furthermore, the dimensions of the packaging were decisive for my purchase, as I would like to use them on trips. The accessory that screws onto the camera has a very nice rubber coating with a profile so that the camera doesn't rotate by itself even if it is rotated 90° on the tripod and is equipped with a large lens (some of you probably know this). Due to the compact size, K&F has also created a solution for windy days, because this tripod is equipped with a hook at the lower end of the neck, to which you can attach your bag or similar. Overall, I see many advantages in this tripod compared to tripods in the lower price range:

Even though I didn't know the brand at first, but there are several tripods of it on Amazon, I decided to give everything a chance. And I must say I was not disappointed!

Replacing my 20 year old tripod with this 255c2; it compacts very well and is a little bigger than my old one! How it will turn out, time will tell!

I needed a compact, lightweight tripod that I could take with me to work that involved traveling by train or plane. As soon as I took it out of the box, I could see that this tripod would make a good compact option for travel. It's light (weighs only 1.13 kg), folds very small (46.5 cm) and even comes with its own carrying bag (which my Manfrotto doesn't have). This tripod comes with a ball head - a different system of maneuvering the camera than I'm used to. I think I can 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 groundbreaking but in this price range. You don't get carbon fiber or other premium materials; instead, you get a magnesium-aluminum alloy and a plastic frame. A fully extended camera can be mounted at 156 cm, which is not the highest height, but I don't think a tripod marketed as a compact is among the tallest on the market. However, 156cm is probably big enough for most situations. The tripod's center column can be inverted for macro photography. Like every tripod I've ever used, the K&F Concept Tripod has a quick-release plate system, which involves mounting a plate to the bottom of the camera. I liked how the tripod is small and light to take with me. I have to take a lot of gear on set, so it's always good to lighten the load a bit. However, due to the light weight, I wouldn't say this tripod holds up well in windy outdoor conditions when shooting landscapes. It works well for my main uses and the carrying case is a very useful addition. For the price, it's certainly a decent option for a photographer who travels a lot.

I've been using this KF concept tripod for about a month now. Man, I love that tripod! It's lighter, cheaper. The only thing I liked best about the Benro was that the legs felt quicker, but I have a feeling those guys will probably see this review and consider making some tweaks there. Only you need more turns to loosen/tighten the legs. Not a big deal, but a faster tripod is more fun. Everything was a little stiff at first, but now everything is nice and fluid. Beautiful and robust even in the wind. I love it and recommend it.
