Very handy tripod that you can always have with you, fits in almost every handbag, if necessary only the even smaller selfie stick part of the tripod which can be removed.
The tubes and the articulated head are made of aluminium, with a high-quality matt finish. Thanks to the telescopic tubes, the tripod can be adapted to all locations very quickly and simply by turning it. A transport bag and remote control for the mobile phone is also included, it works via BT with Apple and Android mobile phones.

I am very happy with this little tripod. Despite the very small size when folded, the tripod is very large when extended and doesn't really need to hide from the larger tripods. The weight is also very pleasant and it shouldn't be a problem to take it with you in your backpack. In terms of processing, I am also completely satisfied. Everything is made of aluminum and feels high quality.
The scope of delivery also includes a mobile phone holder for the tripod, a carrying case and a Bluetooth remote trigger for the mobile phone. For me, this tripod seems well thought out, with a turn the entire base can be locked. The tripod is an upgrade to the tripod I used before. I can recommend the tripod with a clear conscience.

The complete small set arrives in a small neutral box. In addition to the basic tripod, there is a small bag made of a kind of Oxford material with which you can transport the tripod. A small plastic bag also contains a small Bluetooth trigger with the associated strap and a screw-on holder for the smartphone. An operating manual for the tripod in English and Chinese as well as a small manual for the Bluetooth trigger complete the picture.
The basic tripod weighs around 890g without attachments, which is quite light for such a tripod.
Optimally folded, you reach a length of about 32cm and a diameter of about 10cm. Ideal to take with you on hikes or excursions.
The three legs can be folded down in three stages (approx. 30°, 45° and almost 90°). In this way, a minimum height of around 35cm can be achieved. The legs have three extensions that can be pulled out and locked in place. So you can balance the tripod very well on sloping and uneven floors. A small spirit level on the tripod would have been ideal for this, but unfortunately it was not used. The rubber foot must be turned to the left, then all three extensions are released and can be adjusted. The set length is locked by turning it briefly to the right. However, the structure of the legs and the lock is kept quite simple and does not make a very stable impression. During the test, it happened to me again and again that a segment or even a whole leg pushed itself back in.
If you pull out the three legs fully and spread them slightly, you will reach a height of around 107cm. The middle rod can also be set in three positions. Locking and releasing also works as with the tripod legs. If the middle rail is also fully extended, you get a maximum height of around 168cm, which is quite impressive for such a small tripod. When fully extended, however, the low weight becomes noticeable, the tripod is not very stable and tends to wobble slightly, especially in strong winds. It is therefore not suitable for long exposures.
To attach a camera or lighting fixture, the tripod has a simple ball head that can be continuously tilted up to 90°. Compact cameras, small bridge cameras or at most one small system camera can be easily and securely mounted on it, heavier cameras such as DSLR or video cameras are definitely too heavy for the system.
If you loosen the lower cover on the center drive, the middle rod can be removed and used as a selfie stick or small monopod
A smartphone can also be attached using the included adapter. This can be mounted either horizontally or upright, for which two tripod threads are available on the adapter. The mobile phone is attached by spring action, the retaining clips are rubberized. A minimum of 6cm and a maximum of almost 9.5cm width can be inserted as a smartphone.
The included trigger is also intended for use with a smartphone. Using Bluetooth, it can be easily integrated into a mobile phone as an input device. The two applied triggers are labeled Camera 360 - IOS and Android, but both buttons have the same function. With my cell phone, the shutter release didn't work at first, only the zoom was activated. After trying out the camera settings, I found the culprit. You had to change the function of the volume buttons from zoom to shutter, then it worked without any problems.

The tripod is well made and makes a stable impression. The height can be adjusted very flexibly.
For the test I only have a DJI Actioncam and my smartphone, both of which the tripod can withstand with ease. In my opinion, no system camera would hold up either, but maybe not with the largest lens. The pack size is perfectly fine, so you can take the tripod with you on any tour. I am very happy with it!

The tripod makes a valuable and stable impression and is ideal for taking photos with your cell phone. The drawers are easy to pull out and can be easily adjusted by turning. The center column can be removed as a selfie stick. A small supplied remote control, including battery, is compatible with the mobile phone via Bluetooth and you can take photos and videos remotely. The retaining clip holds the phone securely. The ball joint has a mount for each camera with a screw connection. System cameras preferred. I wouldn't screw a DSLR to the extended tripod because I think it's too heavy. All in all, a nice, light and flexible tripod for many occasions.

When unpacking the tripod already convinced. It packs really small (about 30cm long and 10cm in diameter when folded) and fits in any backpack. The processing is great, I was very surprised.
The scope of delivery includes:
- the tripod
- a fabric bag with drawstring
- the extendable mobile phone holder
- a Bluetooth remote control with German instructions
- Allen key
- instructions for the tripod
The first impression was great, the tripod is stable, the locks work really well. On the head is a ball joint that feels really valuable. When fully extended, the tripod is approx. 170cm high, which is considerable considering the pack size. Even fully extended, the tripod is not wobbly or unstable. I would also dare to install a larger camera on it (maybe not exactly my DSLR but I don't see any problems with compact or system cameras here).
A particularly cool function is the selfistick function. You can remove the top part of the tripod. To do this, a union nut on the upper part and a cover cap on the lower part must be loosened without tools. So you can remove the upper "standpipe" from the tripod and you have an approx. 90cm long selfistick that can of course also be retracted to approx. 30cm.
The mobile phone holder has 2 options to be attached to the tripod. This is large enough to hold my 6" smartphone with case.
The remote control didn't really work for me, I see it more as an accessory with this tripod, the remote control is made of cheap plastic and has 2 release buttons, maybe it's also because of my Xiaomi smartphone that I couldn't get it to work, neither with as well as without an app that you can install on your cell phone. If the remote control works, it's definitely a nice gadget. But I wouldn't buy the tripod just because of this remote control. The manufacturer should rather omit this because it "devalues" the really really great tripod a bit.
Leaving the remote control out of the rating, I have to give the tripod full marks. I would not have thought that this good piece is so valuable.
Therefore:
Tripod TOP
Remote control FLOP

I was kindly given this product for free, thanks for that. This does not affect my review.
I rate: K&F Concept 4 in 1 tripod, 170 cm mobile phone tripod camera, eccentric tube
✅ The tripod has a handy size when folded - it fits in the backpack without any problems
✅ It can be extended to a length of 1.7m. It remains stable on the ground and doesn't wobble
✅ The mechanism works great and the tripod feels valuable
✅ It is well made
✅ My S23 Ultra is a big hand, but even with the case there was still room in the mobile phone holder
❌ Only downside is that I can't attach my GoPro to it. I think an adapter is missing - the product images and the description are a bit deceptive
⭐I hope my review was helpful to you and I would be happy about a "useful"⭐

This model from K&F can be used like a hybrid between a travel tripod and a selfie stick.
The advantage is, on the one hand, the low weight and the compact dimensions (pushed together 30cm), so that it fits well in a (photo) backpack.
A maximum height of 170 cm can be reached as a tripod plus extendable middle rod (which can also be used individually as a selfie stick).
OK, then it becomes slightly unstable for heavy cameras, but as a last resort it works.
But the biggest shortcoming is the ball head; this is designed more for light devices or cell phones.
You can also align the middle pole downwards, so take pictures close to the ground (flowers and small animals, for example).
If you look at the price and performance, you can give it 4 stars, but you shouldn't expect a high-end tripod.

In my headline, I have already summarized my conclusion after a few attempts with the K&F Concept 4 in 1 tripod.
Of course, you can't expect a high-end product here for the price and you have to stack a little lower accordingly.
I was looking for a light and variable yet reasonably stable tripod for my Nikon combo with a 70-200mm telephoto lens and as a table gimbal for my smartphone.
Of course, everyone has their own priorities and preferences when it comes to camera tripods and the "ONE" tripod probably has to be "baked" first, but it probably wouldn't be found in this price range either.
For me as a hobby photographer who just wants to go out into nature in between, it should above all be functional, quick and easy to assemble and disassemble and of course stable. The tripod offers all of this in principle. With the camera attached, it acts quite reliably.
A NIKON D5100, a PANASONIC HC-V180 as well as some older analog and digital cameras are set up here. So far there have not been any problems with loading, although the thin struts and legs were not particularly encouraging at first!
The tripod legs are relatively easy to extend and retract again, all you have to do is loosen and tighten a thread. Goes more smoothly with high-priced models, but somewhere you have to make compromises here.
The small tripod can be extended to an impressive 170 cm.
Even on uneven ground and slopes, the tripod can be positioned and stably installed in just a few seconds. The feel is not particularly good in my opinion and for a few euros more there are certainly higher-quality "all-rounders" on the market.
For me, too much moderate plastic was used here, which is not necessarily designed for longevity. If you are looking for a tripod for outdoors, you should be aware that the assembly and dismantling will not work forever.
However, for occasional photographers who want to work flexibly, the tripod is fine here. Solid 4 stars for the price range in which we are here!
