K&F Concept 64 inch/162cm DSLR Tripod,Lightweight and Compact Aluminum Camera Tripod with 360 Panorama Ball Head Quick Release Plate for Travel and Work B234A1+BH-28 (TM2324)
SKU: KF09.007
Small tripod from the K&F Concept brand. First, you receive the tripod in its storage bag. The bag is 50cm long. A priori, it looks of good quality and in addition the bottom is reinforced, thick enough to prevent shocks. You can carry it with the small handles or you can equip it with the shoulder strap. There is also a small velvet bag which is provided. In terms of dimensions, when it is folded up, head down, it is 47cm. Otherwise when it is folded but this time head up, it is 60cm. On the weight side, it weighs 1kg 280g on my scale. The tubes, the branches are made of aluminum alloy with magnesium, which is supposed to make the material resistant to corrosion and abrasion. On one of the branches, there is a small non-slip sponge, which is rather comfortable to handle and it is true, outdoors, the metal can be very cold, and there, suddenly, we will be able to carry it there. In terms of use, it's quite simple. At the top of each branch, we have the angle adjustment. So there are three positions. You can also flip the column around to do a ground level, macro shot. You just have to unscrew the small hook with the rubber. We take out the column, and we go upside down. There is also a small support hook to weight the tripod. At the maximum height, when the 3 sections are extended and it is set on the first position, with the smallest angle, the tripod rises, from the ground to the top of the fluid head, at 159cm. On the ball joint side, there are two direction clamps. The first is pan rotation. Besides, there is a value scale. So it can be landmarks, for example to take a panoramic photo. Also when it is loosened, there is a resistance friction effect. So it can also allow in video to make fairly fluid panoramic movements. Then, the second tightening above, controls the ball joint and we also have the small notch for portrait mode at 90°; it's always a pleasure. And then above, classic, we have the fast plate. You have to unscrew to release it. Also there is the small tightening aid, it is very practical. It avoids using a part or damaging your thumb. And then there is also the small spirit level. If you don't like the ball joint, you can replace it. We can unscrew it. Then we have a 3/8'' screw, and then there, we can mount a new ball joint. I've been using it for a few months now. use for photo and video. No particular concerns so far. A good little tripod, for a first purchase. I recommend. I will keep this comment updated, if problems arise. If you found this comment useful, please click on yes, you will make me happy :)

The first thing that stands out when opening the box is the quality of the presentation and the finish of the set, delivered in a handy carrying bag 50 cm long by 15 cm in diameter. The ball head is protected in a small velor bag. discretion. The locking valves and clamping rings work perfectly and silently, the ball head is mounted on a graduated turret, ideal for making panoramic shots in several successive shots. The turret also has a spirit level which facilitates its horizontal positioning: even if the accuracy of the level does not is not sufficient to guarantee perfect horizontality, thus saving time during installation. stability, especially in high winds: simple and clever. The plate is equipped with a removable sole to be fixed on the screw thread of the camera or the video camera, very easy then to lock on the top of the turret thanks to to a large clamping screw. In use, the foot is implemented very easily and fairly quickly, especially if the sole is already attached to the base of the camera. It is also possible to carry out an inverted assembly by placing the central tube upside down in the sliding ring, interesting for shots at ground level. All the knobs and tightening controls are well sized and can be handled without difficulty, even with gloves. I have not found any fault with this very complete, robust, well-designed and very practical accessory to use.

I got the gold and black model and I love it! I think it's great for my Sony Alpha 6400! It's very firm, steering and panning works without a problem and I would definitely recommend it! Much more stable than other tripods in this price range that I have tested! :)

The tripod has a good stand and the hook on the bottom keeps the backpack out of the dirt, which also contributes to the additional stability. The bearing and the ball head move very well. I don't like the clamping device for the base of the camera that much. A quick-release device would be better here. Overall, a very good price-performance ratio, so 5 stars.

For me as a hobby photographer, this tripod from K&F Concept® is completely sufficient. Here are my pros: - 360° panorama ball head - Assembly and disassembly in seconds thanks to the folding locks - Overall very light - Reversible center column for shots from below. - Non-slip rubber feet allow that Tripod stand securely on any surface.- The non-slip foam handle protects against cold and ensures perfect grip at all temperatures.- The spirit level helps to make the picture or video that you want to take as straight as possible.- Robust hook to weigh down the tripod for more stability and a safe place for the tripod bag.Here are my cons:- It's shaky in stronger winds, especially when the legs are fully set up- A lot of plastic parts I can't say much about the durability yet,but I will add this later. All in all I am satisfied, it meets my requirements very well. For a middle class tripod definitely recommendable.

I bought this tripod as a gift for a relative who loves taking photos, just as a hobby. In my opinion, that should be enough. Thanks to the small carrying bag, it can be transported very easily. It has a stable stand, if necessary you can also attach an extra weight to the tripod, which provides additional stability. In terms of height, it is also sufficient for hobby use. Top

The tripod itself does what it should. It's stable, it's straight, the quick release plate holds up well and is Arca Swiss compatible, the ball head holds the camera in place and everything feels quite valuable.

The tripod looks totally high-quality and you have the feeling that you didn't buy a bulkhead for once.
It seems very stable and I was able to easily mount my Canon EOS 600D without any problems.
I am satisfied and the design is very attractive.

As a replacement for my old tripod (of a different brand), which was very light, but quickly became defective and unstable. I am very positively surprised, the quality of my old tripod is far surpassed. Good workmanship and stability, the only thing I regret is not having used a good tripod beforehand.

I've been taking photographs for many years. But now I wanted to get a little more out of my landscape photos and make my first experiences with long exposures. In this case, there is no way around buying a tripod. So I went on a search and found the tripod from K&F Concept among the usual suppliers. In most test reports and blogs it is always written that you should not save on the tripod if you want to buy a high-quality tripod. However, the K&F Concept proves that you can definitely get something of very high quality even with a somewhat smaller budget. Of course, I don't have the opportunity to make a direct comparison to other tripods, but I think the K&F Concept doesn't need to hide among all the competitors. The supplied bag is also perfectly made, doesn't pull any threads or anything else and makes a very robust impression on me. However, I haven't really used it yet because I always transport the tripod without a bag. The tripod's material is flawless and the overall feel suggests high quality and workmanship. All moving parts are smooth-running and can be reliably locked. Conclusion: If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive tripod to start with and have a certain quality requirement, you can access this without hesitation. For me it's really good value for money. --> Clear purchase recommendation because I always transport the tripod without a bag.
