The tripod comes in a nice box with a strap and an Allen key as well as instructions. The tripod is made entirely of metal and is very robust. The quality is very good. For this price I can really recommend it. I myself use the tripod to produce films and the tripod is part of my equipment.

I bought the tripod for my camera. It comes in an extra fabric bag with handles so you can transport it. There are many settings from the position and size of the tripod. You can enlarge the feet using the buckles below.

For a long time I was looking for a travel tripod that is compact and handy. Whenever hiking or holiday tours were announced, I had to fall back on my Nanomax 400T. Unfortunately, this is just as high as German bridge railings at maximum height. After some time I came across the TM2324. Short preliminary conclusion: The workmanship is very good. The tripod is trimmed for photo tours. Thanks to the light 1.3 kg and quick-release fasteners on the legs, it can be taken anywhere and set up super quickly. The ball head with panoramic function runs smoothly and feels secure.Details:1. Key data: The tripod is 47 cm long when folded. If you set it up you can reach a maximum height of 159 cm (at the quick release plate), which is significantly higher than German bridge railings. The weight I measured was 1.31 kg with the ball head and 1.05 kg without the ball head. So, despite the tripod, a lot still fits in the case.2. Ball head: The ball head not only has the actual ball head function, but also a panorama function. The larger wheel releases the ball head. This runs smoothly and can also be swiveled downwards by 90° at one point. The smaller wheel is used for the panorama function. This runs just as smoothly and, as the name suggests, enables panoramic shots, since only the vertical axis is released. If you just crop images you lose resolution (if the focal length allows it at all). If you use the built-in panorama functions, you actually get a higher resolution.3. Quick release plate: The quick release plate and holder are made of plastic. In this way, a little weight could probably be saved here as well. The plastic looks very valuable and stable. At first glance I thought it was metal. A spirit level or dragonfly is installed in the recording, so you can align the camera nicely even in the field.4. Central plate: The feet can be locked in 3 positions with snap hooks on the central plate. Although the clamps feel somewhat "loose", the legs are surprisingly well fixed in the locked position. The center bar is held by a classic twist lock.5. Tripod legs: The tripod legs are equipped with quick-release fasteners. They look solid and are particularly useful when you're on the go and don't want to screw forever before you can pull out the leg and then screw it back on. With the quick-release fasteners, this can be done in a few seconds. The tubes themselves are made of black, brushed aluminum. I found no iron or steel on the legs. So nothing can rust if the tripod is placed in a stream or in the sea. One of the legs is partially covered with foam. You can carry the tripod well on it. It's so much more pleasant, especially at minus degrees.6. Bag: The bag looks well made and is of course exactly adapted to the tripod. You can either carry it by the handle or hook it into the included strap. A reflective strip should probably serve to make you better seen by drivers on night hikes. Although I never really carry my tripods in bags, I find them quite successful. As you can see the weather has been bad for a long time but I didn't want to deprive you of my experience. As soon as the weather gets better, I'll try to submit a few more pictures. I bought and paid for the K&F Concept TM2324 as usual via Amazon, but I'll get the money refunded as a product tester. As always, my opinion remains independent and honest.

The tripod makes a very good first impression. It is easy to carry in the pocket as well as in working mode but stable enough against shocks, the shake test with the camera (Lumix DC FZ 82) was good.... Fully unfold the tripod, fully extend the center support and extend the camera to superzoom , then shake the tripod a little - so you can see on the display of the cam how much the vibrations affect the picture in terms of sharpness and that it also has its limits for the price. I haven't been able to try it out in strong winds. The function of the individually adjustable tripod legs is practical, they can be perfectly adapted to the ground. They can be removed at the desired height with a clamp fastener - and pushed back in again, in this case it works all by itself if you hold the ends upwards. The legs can be folded out almost completely horizontally. A dragonfly (spirit level) supports straight positioning, even on sloping or uneven surfaces. In normal operation, the tripod reaches a maximum height of 1.60 without a camera. The perfect height for me. Settings for tilting the shooting position vertically and/or horizontally with a ball head is done in a few steps. The camera mount has to be removed in order to attach the camera with a screw. Brief instructions are included, but only in English and Chinese. It cannot be used as a monopod. All in all I am very satisfied with this tripod, which I finally decided on, the selection is almost unmanageable, as is the price range. This tripod fulfills its purpose and I can highly recommend it.

After searching the internet for many days, I decided on this camera tripod from K&F. Shipping including packaging is top! Tripod bag included. What I find particularly good is the locking of the telescopic legs, no annoying turning of the rings, but spanner, done. This means it can be used quickly. Stability is also good and 360° rotation too very good tripod with many possibilities to take great photos. Let's go...

I'm super satisfied, the tripod is valuable and more than decent for hobby use. Snapping in and unhooking works great, the hinges do what they are supposed to do. The small spirit level at the top helps a lot for adjustment. In short, from our point of view, the tripod is worth the money :)

The tripod is well made. It is stable and hardly wobbles. Of course, if you set it up in full size, the wobbling will also increase, but that's normal and no reason for a star deduction in this price range. The closures on the legs are intuitive and easy to use. No more screwing and twisting around. The twist lock for height adjustment in the center bar is a bit stiff and feels a bit scratchy, but it can be screwed on and off without any problems. The mechanism for horizontal panning of the head, on the other hand, runs very smoothly and smoothly, which surprised me at first given the price. The ball head also works well, but could do with a little more flexibility. But that can probably be solved with a drop of WD-40. What else I noticed is that the loop below the ball head, whatever it is for, is not neatly sewn. So one corner isn't attached properly, which is probably an isolated case. Since I don't use this loop anyway, I don't really care. I wanted to mention it anyway. Here again summarized: + Good workmanship + Stable + Locks on the legs are easy to use + Very smooth horizontal rotation + Value for money Neutral: > Wobbles a bit at full size > Ball head runs okay"Negative" :-The middle screw cap scratches a bit-The loop under the ball head is poorly made Since I don't use this loop anyway, I don't really care.

The attachment with the semi quick-change camera holds very well, here it is a screw that you have to turn to attach the camera. The ball joint is excellent, too, a screw ensures a really very firm hold even with a DSLR. The rotary joint is also mounted very softly/smoothly so that there are no jerks when filming. However, the height adjustment with the wheel could cause a problem in the future That this one is made of plastic. The extendable legs have a bit too much play in all directions horizontally for my taste. The grip on one of the legs has a nice material and is definitely easier to grip than just the metal. Especially the screws to tighten it are all handy and not too small.

I got the tripod because my old tripod was only partially usable. The stability of the mount is way better. Finally no more blurred pictures with a tripod. I always attached it to my photo backpack. I don't notice the weight. So it's easy enough for me. I also like the possibility of setting up the tripod the other way round. This makes overhead photos possible. I've also used it in strong winds and haven't noticed anything negative. Overall I'm very happy with the tripod.

K&F Concept® Professional Portable Tripod Model 1+ Scope of delivery: - Tripod - Carrying bag - Operating instructions (English, Chinese)+ Design: The Tripod Model 1 makes a valuable impression after unpacking. The workmanship is very good. Everything is cleanly processed and there are no sharp burrs or edges. The dominant color is black, some parts are gold-colored, which gives the tripod an elegant look. In addition to the tripod, there is a carrying bag. This is very stable and can be worn or used as a shoulder bag. The processing is absolutely flawless. What is also noticeable about the carrying case is that the side walls of the carrying case are very thickly lined, so that parts of the tripod do not press uncomfortably on the body when carrying it. Even with the carrying strap, a thick padding for the shoulder has not been forgotten. Otherwise, the tripod just fits in there. The tripod head is additionally protected by a velvety bag pulled over it.+ Operation: To set it up, the feet of the tripod head are folded down by 160°. At the top of the tripod base there is a button that allows the feet to lock at a certain angle. There are three possible positions in total. The tripod has a foam covering on one leg for quick carrying. So that it does not fall over in strong winds, it has a hook at the bottom where the feet meet, for attaching a weight, e.g. B. a sandbag. To adjust the height of the feet, there are three levers (leg clamps) at the bottom. This can be folded out and the tripod leg extended to the desired length. Then you turn the lever again and the leg is locked. This works very well and the feet snap into the desired position securely and firmly. There is a ring for adjusting the height of the center column, which is gold-colored in the upper part. If you turn it to the left, you can push the center column up or down after overcoming a resistance. The usual crank was omitted. There are three locking screws on the tripod head. The smaller bottom one allows the head to rotate 360 degrees. There is also a grading in increments of 10. The lines are easy to see, the numbers 30, 60, 90 etc. are very small. A white triangle shows the set angle. The angle can be locked with the lower small adjusting screw. Further above there is a large adjusting screw. With it, the ball joint can be activated or fixed. If the ball joint is activated, the attachment with the camera (or other equipment) can be moved in any direction. At the top is the plate for attaching the camera. The mounting plate can be removed by turning the top adjustment wheel and attached to the thread on the underside of the camera. To tighten the screw, you can use a coin that fits into the slot in the screw. Now the plate can be put back on and tightened with the set screw. The camera then sits absolutely firmly on the tripod. So that the camera is aligned straight, there is a dragonfly. If the air bubble is exactly in the black circle, then the camera is correctly aligned horizontally. The camera can be panned left and right horizontally, or rotated 90 degrees vertically. There is also a slot on one side of the ball joint so that the camera can be tilted.+ Conclusion: the tripod is well made all round, stable and easy to use. The camera does not wobble, even if it is a bit heavier due to screwed on accessories (8 kg load capacity). 1.25kg weight is also not too heavy to carry around and the carrying case is also of good quality. The maximum height is 1.58 m. I can definitely recommend buying this camera. For higher demands, there are other model variants from the same dealer.
