I've already purchased K&F Concept Tripod and it is a trusted tripod brand for me!I am adding this tripod because I need a tripod that can take an overhead shot for the unboxing or craft recording.What's great about this tripod is that not only, it can take an overhead shot for unboxing review recordings, but it is also a great tripod and turns into a monopod if you need to.I've uploaded sample pictures of the overhead shot.1. Closer overhead shot - you can set this on (see picture)2. If you need to set the tripod up off the table, you can also do that! (see picture)3. Well... not to mention, it is also a great tripod if you want to take the photo.4. You can also change the ball head if needed. This is really premium quality!Again, I love this product and I wish many people can find this tripod for their photography

This product looks great when you get it out of the box, it comes in a nice padded carry case with handles and a shoulder strap. It comes with basic instructions that give the user the required info to be able to use all features of the tripod.
The tripod itself is very stable and feels extremely well made. The aluminium construction is nice, but does add a little weight, though for the functionality it’s a small sacrifice.
A single leg is detachable allowing for the conversion to a monopod, which as per the images, can be used with the ball head mount. This can be done with no tools required, which gives great flexibility when on location, as it doesn’t require extra gear to be carried.
Towering over me at around 2m tall when fully extended or when reconfigured the centre post can be mounted upside down. The horizontal arm allows for the perfect position for top down shooting or macro photography, giving a reasonable reach with good stability.
Overall I am very impressed with this tripod and would definitely recommend it, especially when compared to competitors offerings, which generally have a much higher price point. K&F have produced a great product that is a pleasure to use.

Excellent tripod with super smooth action gimbal head. Originally thought I might not like the thumb screw adjustments (as opposed to the turnbuckles on a conventional unit) however, they are great and very easy to use. Even in its fully extended state the tripod is stable and does not exhibit any buckling tendencies. The leg extension clamps are positive and clamp very well. The overall feel of this tripod is one of exceptional quality, particularly considering the price. It has a flexible screw head which allows the tripod to screw into my projector without any issues. It comes complete with a carrying case

purchased this tripod to take long exposure shots of the sea. For fun, I took the same shots with my husband’s Gitzo carbon fibre tripod.
In terms of equipment, I mounted a Canon 6D Mark II with a Marumi 6 stop ND filter. I took exposures of around 10-30 seconds in winds of 12 mph gusting to 16mph. Yep, I checked the wind speed!
My feeling is that the biggest difference between the two tripods is the weight in transit. Carbon fibre is lighter than aluminium but in actual use both tripods are rock solid.
I should say that because the Gitzo is over £600, the K&F is exceptional value for money. I found it sturdy, well constructed, and I really liked the fact that the main tripod column has another hidden column inside it like some sort of Russian doll. It took me some time to figure out where it was but once I did I was very satisfied with myself. :-) Once you pull it out, it can be rotated transversely so as to mount your camera in portrait mode. Brilliant!
Suffice to say that I couldn’t tell the difference between the seascapes I took with this K&F tripod and the Gitzo, which just goes to show for the hundredth time that it’s not the gear you have but the skill you have that matters.
As for micro movements affecting camera shake, I believe that both tripods in real world use probably had about the same. In the end, it came down to my ability to use them.
I’ve included some shots of the K&F tripod because I feel so strongly about this product that I think it’s important to show off the build quality. I really like it. For the money, it’s an absolute winner.

First impressions.
Excellent materials, great stability, the height is incredible.
The tripod feels stiff despite its weight of 2 kg. I bought it for my Canon M50 Mark II.

After my old tripod broke it was time to shop for a new one. With the amount of flat lay photos I take I needed a tripod to hold the camera at that angle to save my shoulders. The his tripod is so versatile and can be set up many different ways! It’s also built very strong so it holds my heavy canon 5D Mark III easily and every angle. Also nice and high when n ending that extra lift!

It is a multifunctional tripod, which is pretty leightweight, but steady at the same time.

First of all: it’s big and quite heavy. But that gives a nice stability. Previously I was using Manfrotto Befree tripod, but I need something for overhead photos and videos. And this one is perfectly fine for that.
Can support a Sony a7 IV with a SmallRig base plate without a problem (see the pictures). I wasn’t so sure, but it would need another 0.5-1kg to be out of balance. Buy then you can put something on the hook under the central column or shorten the arm with a camera.
For the price - it’s great!

This tripod offers versatile shooting options with a transverse center column for panorama shots, convenient height adjustments from 22.4'' to 73'', and a detachable monopod feature. The 360° ball head allows for flexible angles, and its portability, weighing 4.12lbs and folding to 16.93'', makes it a practical choice for photographers on the go. The quick-release flip-locks and three-level leg adjustments enhance ease of use. With a maximum load capacity of 22.04lbs, it strikes a balance between sturdiness and portability.

The tripod is very sturdy and all of the parts are machined very well. The tripod holds the camera that I'm using securely and it's a full frame Nikon D750 so it's heavy and the tripod has no trouble at all. The seller I ordered from on Amazon provided super quick service as well. The packing the tripod arrived is was great and the tripod was inside the included carry bag and it's super heavy duty. The zippers on the bag are like "industrial"!!! Awesome!!
