I've gone through dozens of tripods. Using it for both work and the hobby of photography, this is one of the best tripods I've had. Works great, light weight and the carrying case is very nice.

I could not have imagined that I would have these surfaces for almost 80 euros. It has its limitations, but it's going really well. A lot more than I need. I'm in the process of buying a few more for the lamp mount.

This is the tallest and most durable tripod I've bought for outdoor photo shoots. Since the photos and descriptions on the product page are detailed and show what the tripod can do, I'll focus on the un-highlighted functions and features that I appreciate about the K&F S210 Concept tripod. This tripod includes a KF-28 pan head and holds my Sony Mirrorless AIII camera with a long G telephoto lens attached. The 1/4-inch screw in the Arca-Swiss quick-release plate for holding all of my previous mounting adapters. The wide spread and thick tubular metal legs even allow me to hold my camera gear almost to the ground with its long legs and red metal spring loaded adjusters. This tripod uses metal components except for the rubberized texture on the legs for the twist-lock mechanism. This is comfortable and provides support for quick setup, and the foam-covered leg can be twisted and rotated to form a tripod with an extension tube. These leg extension mechanisms do not catch cords or clothing like the traditional plastic flip clips. For storage and transport, it folds down to under 20 inches and weighs just over 4 pounds. This tripod can be stowed in my backpack or strapped to the outside. Most tripods provide an inferior bag made of flimsy fabric with a small, fragile zipper and an uncomfortable strap. Since K&F Concert Concept also makes high-quality photo backpacks (I can speak from experience as I own one of their backpacks), the company gives you a great tote bag that's worth $30 alone. The bag has a durable exterior and thickly padded surfaces hidden between the gray thick fabric layer and black nylon interior that easily cleans from the tripod feet when dirty. On the top of the bag there is a reflective strip that is 2.5 cm wide and goes around the bag. I wasn't aware of this until I was on an evening shoot and the light caught the bag.

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 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.

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.

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 )

Including a Manfrotto tripod so I needed a new tripod to sell some things to help me get back on my feet. I looked at geekoto and some other brands and they're all pretty much like this one except they either had plastic where I didn't want plastic or it wasn't clear where the plastic on the tripod is. Using the Manfrotto for years, I at least know where I like there to be metal and this K&F unit has a cast aluminum mount and ball and it's all very smooth.Likes:Ball head: is solid and smooth. I would have preferred a toggle over a screw for the quick release plate.Legs: well they're legs, the aluminum feels solid. The also have stabby things at the bottom if you remove the rubber feet. Some one mentioned the locks for the leg extension were unfinished and sharp. Mine are comfortable to use.Column: Not too much to say. It does it's job. All the locks have comfortable rubber grips. Someone mentioned the column will collapse if pushed down on. That's true of mine too but I have to make an effort. It's not something that's happened during normal use.Portability: was not a selling point for me but it's nice to have the optionMonopod: also not a selling point but another nice to have the option. I've never used one before but now that I have the option I might.Bag: not a selling point, but it's a nice one if the zippers stand up to use, aka not YKK zippers.Dislikes:Legs: the spring-loaded locks for the top leg extensions seem weak. On lock solidly clicks into place, the other two are kinda, meh. This might not bother you but it makes a difference to me when setting the tripod up in the dark. The audible clicks tell me where the legs are set.Conclusion: Ball head is solid. With the exception of the leg locks not clicking solidly/audibly, into place, the unit is well built, uses high quality parts and is enough for what I want it to do and looks like it's versatile enough that I might try some stuff that I wouldn't try otherwise.
