94“/240cm Aluminum Lightweight Travel Tripod Monopod with 360° Ball Head - T254A8 + BH-28L(SA254T1)
SKU: KF09.086
This is a decent tripod especially for amateur. Quality tripods are easily in excess of $500. If you are looking for a decent tripod for every day use, this is an excellent buy. For those of you complaining about the quick release plate, the one that comes with this tripod is crap. However, you can purchase the JOBY QR Plate 5K which is what comes with a JOBY GorillaPod fits perfectly. You can buy one for about $19 here on Amazon. All and all this is a decent tripod and I have enjoyed it immensely.

Tout fonctionne bien. Je l'ai utilisé plusieurs fois.Un peu instable avec le bras à 90 degrés mais avec du poids au crochet il retrouve sa stabilité.

Sure, extended to its full height outdoors, this isn't the sturdiest place to mount a camera. If you so much as breathe heavy on it, your camera will shake a bit. But for a commercial photography setting, this tripod has become a valuable part of my real estate kit. I have been using the Manfrotto XPRO series for years, and this tripod raises the functionality bar a whole step with the ability to invert the center column and shoot stable all the way to ground-level and even below if you need to shoot in a hole for some reason. I will still use my heavy aluminum X-PRO's for those windy days or when I'm sporting huge, heavy lenses like the Sigma150-600mm; but indoors and calm-air exteriors I've been shooting almost exclusively with this tripod in the week and a half since it arrived and I really like it. If it fails me at some point, I'll update.If K&F were to make a beefier version of this model, I would try to be the first to order it. Double-thick legs and heavier locks plus the 8-foot reach and to-the-ground shooting would put the Manfrotto line to shame.

This is the tallest tripod I've found! The tripod is solid! The price is very good for the size, sturdiness and features that it offers. The bag it came with to transport it is also solid! It's lightweight enough to carry around and yet sturdy enough that I wouldn't feel nervous about setting my DSLR on it. Another great feature is that it has a hook to hook something heavy on it. That will also enhance tripod stability by adding weight when it is needed. I could hang my camera backpack on there and it would work fine to hold the bag and keep it stable. I've had more than my fair share of clueless people who chose to stand right in front of my camera so I get a nice shot of the backs of their heads while shooting video of like say a band or entertainment on a stage, for instance. This will eliminate that problem because at its max height it's way taller than the average American human. So yay! The price is great too for what you get! 2 thumbs way up!

For the price point you get a fairly solid unit with a ton of adjustment options. The arm fully out to its "max" were the line is has some serious sag with a Sony A7iii on it and a small lens. The ball attachment is okay but you really have to twist to get it to stop moving and it makes me question how long that will last tightened and loosening over time. Otherwise it's a decent unit.

What immediately impresses about this K&F Concept 60" tripod is the quality and attention to detail, starting with the sturdy carry bag. The 39cm tripod can open up to 154cm. You can use the tripod in countless situations, being very versatile for taking night shots, taking product shots, ground level macro shots and even using it to shoot video.The tripod is sturdy, tight, but if there is a lot of wind, it has a support in the center to add weight.The head has a plate with easy grip screws, is also very versatile and robust, which makes it easy to level the horizon of the camera without moving its paws, especially useful for video shooting. Note the excellent rubber paws,non-slip and narrow to obtain stability even on dirt ground.
The set has a different short center axle which is easy to change in case you don't need to use the large one which comes assembled.

I needed a new tripod and was surprised to find how much most tripods cost. I really wanted a smaller tripod that I could fit in my luggage, yet support some of my medium weight lenses. The K&F Concept SA254T1 Tripod seemed to fit a lot of my needs and was very reasonably priced. I am currently shooting primarily with the Canon R5 and Canon 1DX mkii and 24 - 70 lenses. I need a tripod for night shooting and extended exposures. The K&F Concept SA254T1 Tripod folds fairly small (22"), so it fits well in my luggage, yet supports my cameras very well with the 24 - 70 and 16 - 35 lenses that I use a lot. But it also supports my 70 - 200 ef and rf lenses when used on the lens collars. A couple of added bonuses - one of the legs can be removed and used as a monopod. Also, I shoot concerts (pre-covid) and at times shoot from the sound board when a pit isn't available. I usually use a small ladder or a step stool so I can shoot over the crowd's heads. The K&F Concept SA254T1 Tripod has a maximum height of 94" which could be used when I am on a ladder. Another added bonus is the center column that can be used at a 90-degree angle to shoot off the center of the tripod. I don't foresee being able to use a large lens on the extended center column, but I think it would work well with a pancake lens, or a smaller lens like the nifty fifty. I won't be using the tripod for my 400mm f2.8, but I knew that going in and have a large, heavy tripod with a gimbal for those purposes. If you are shooting with a mirrorless camera and a small to medium weight lens, this tripod performs very well and is light and compact. AND costs a lot less than comparable tripods.

I used this tripod almost every day for 4 months before the legs started not working properly. Find a better company if you use tripods regularly.

I need to take pictures of various products and graphic items that either sit against backgrounds or lie flat as tabletop photography, and this is an excellent tripod because I can just pick it up and adjust it easily in an infinite number of configurations to suit the angles necessary for a variety of subjects. Very happy with how it secures the phone so there is no vibration to distort the image. Just strong and stable enough, yet easy to manage and rearrange in seconds.
