67”/170cm Camera Tripod Horizontal Aluminum Tripods Portable Monopod with 360 Degree Ball Head Quick Release Plate for DSLR Cameras T255A4+BH-28L (TM2515T1)
SKU: KF09.085
Following a total change of my camera equipment from a reflex to a hybrid, I was looking for a new, lighter tripod. I initially directed my choice towards a carbon tripod of only 1.3KG, ideal to transport, so much that it took place directly in my backpack and no longer outside it was so light.
But in use, it was something else since I was used to an Alta Pro 263AT, I had lost this freedom of movement following this change since I did not allow you to place your box in certain positions. After having put it in the closet a little, I decided to find a replacement for it and so I came across this model, certainly a little heavier by 300 grams but in the end which corresponds much better to my expectations thanks to the offset arm in addition to having the possibility of transforming the tripod into a monopod in a few seconds, which allowed me to part with mine at the same time and to amortize the price of this tripod. Following the first tests, it is really faultless for the moment.

Recevied it, box was a bit damaged, looked open. everything seems to be here.Rubber rings look out of place and loose on tripod arm, i don't know if its supposed to be that way or if they're supposed to be hidden in a thread somewhere.The ball arm doesn't tighten enough for me, i've tightened it the most i can, but i can still kind of move the arm down. Probably wont move with a DSLR on it and me not TRYING to move it, but i am wondering if mine was used or not.Gonna try it out for a week and return if i'm confident it was used.thanksNate

A very good tripod, the original head is good but plastic. Since I will often use this tripod with my EOS 90D and a sigma 150-500mm to shoot the moon, I needed a more serious head. I therefore replaced by another of the same brand, but more robust, the KF-28. The original one, I mounted it on my Manfrotto monopod. I recommend this product with my eyes closed for the price!

I couldn't find any flaws in the fit and finish of this tripod. It all seems very well made and quite sturdy. All the tightening/locking knobs worked smoothly and securely. With the various configurations available, you can get plenty of height with this tripod, or get right down to the ground with your camera (or whatever) mounted underneath the tripod. For the price, I'd say this is a really impressive item.

I have been using this tripod for several days now, in this time I have gotten a good understanding of the features of this tripod and its strengths. I live in Alberta and got this mainly for using it while hiking to capture scenic landscapes for the upcoming summer. I am thinking about using this as a tripod for a side photography business and I wanted to invest in a good quality tripod which would last me several years. I chose the aluminum material since it is lightweight and it will be easy to carry this while hiking/camping. This one also comes in a handy bag which protects the tripod while it is not being used. While using this tripod I immediately noticed how stable the tripod felt with my heavy DSLR on it, this is very important as I need this to achieve professional quality photos which are not blurry, which can ruin the image altogether. The adjustable knobs and legs are user-friendly and well made. The ball of the head is great quality and was useful for videography purposes. The price point of this is decent as I wanted to get a tripod that was great quality as opposed to something cheap which would only last me a short time. Overall satisfied with my purchase and would recommend to budding photographers/videographers.

I have already reviewed one of the products of the "K&F Concept" brand, it was a neutral gray variable ND filter that convinced me to buy again from this brand.
So I ordered and received this tripod, first impression when opening the package was the packaging which gave the impression of buying a luxury product, really!
So I hasten to open the box to see what it was hiding, and I discover a travel bag for the tripod, which is of excellent quality, super beautiful, sober and gives a professional look.
I open the bag and discover the tripod, it is made of a material that is really solid and ensures stability of the device once fixed on it. The tripod can be high, very high: I am 1m73, once at the max, it must reach 1m80 I would say. I plan to go on a trek with it and I was afraid that it would be big and heavy when "stored" but in reality, it is easy to use and stores just as easily, it becomes almost tiny when folded. In addition, the huge advantage is that it is not heavy at all!
Anyway, I strongly recommend this tripod for its more than interesting value for money!

I'm a very amateur photographer, mainly doing some candids of the family and friends, and some more ambitious vacation photos. We also use it for bird photos in the backyard. I've got a Canon Rebel SL3 with the kit lens, a Canon 50mm, and a Tamron 70-300mm, which is the heaviest of the 3.I've had other cheap tripods in the past. They do OK for what they are, but never provide quite as sturdy a platform as I like. They are not smooth or easy to adjust. They also tend to break because they are made of cheap materials. Also, they tend to be heavy.This tripod is a BIG step up from what I'm used to. If you're a professional and already have 4+ figure carbon fiber tripods that are loaded with features and engineered like a Porsche, you might not appreciate this as much as I do. But for the typical photography hobbyist looking to get into a quality tripod for not a lot of money, this is an excellent choice.The features I really like:- It can get very low (including mounting camera underneath - great for garden macros), very high, and everything in between.- Double ball heads give you every possible angle- Bubble level helps you get the camera straight- Quick release is very easy to screw in and out, as well as mount- Everything that tightens or loosens allows you do to so very quickly and easily- Almost every adjustment feels smooth- Monopod option, so it's like a 2fer reallyMy only complaint - the written instructions are very difficult to understand. That said, the diagrams are good enough for anyone to explore and figure out.Overall, though, this is a great deal on a nice quality tripod. I think it's worth the cash over a more basic model, even if you are just a hobbyist.

Running your hand along it, very smooth. The look, very shiny and professional. The strength, clearly above normal. The mobility, really high.It comes with it's own case, which I actually had no use for. I feel like a lot of companies put a lot in things that just pointlessly cost more money, and should instead put everything into the product, not the accessories.Overall though, this is a fantastic product. I really enjoy it.

In this case, you're spending just over $100 and getting a great all-around tripod. It might not be the most high-tech, high-end product, but for the serious photographer or videographer, it's an exceptional solution.
I love how big it can be. I took a photo of me next to it. I am 175cm tall. If you put it in monopod mode, you can make it even bigger. It's quite flexible.
the main downside is that the directions are quite lacking. I took a picture of all the relevant pages. On the other hand, the operation is quite intuitive so with a little tweaking you should be able to figure out how to operate it. Everything is quite smooth. You don't have a jerky sensation.
Hope the photos are helpful to give you an idea of what you are getting. I also like that it comes with a carrying case with a nice handle and an optional shoulder strap. All in all, this is an exceptional value. I recommand it. I filmed everywhere. It will be a welcome addition to my arsenal.
