94“/240cm Aluminum Lightweight Travel Tripod Monopod with 360° Ball Head - T254A8 + BH-28L(SA254T1)

This is the most adaptable tripod I've ever seen.First off, It's extremely tall. I'm 6'3", and when it's fully deployed I can't reach the camera button to take a picture. If I wanted to get a crane shot with whatever I had on hand, this is what I would use. I might actually get some use out of the remote I purchased with my camera years ago.The monopod option feels a bit gimmicky, but if I had just enough room to take one (pod?) with me and felt like I might need a tripod, or a monopod, this is really the only thing I've ever seen that can be both.It has a 90 degree joint so I can get those top down product shots, and it even comes with a ball mount so I don't have to attach my own head. Speaking of the ball mount, it has a great smooth motion, so if I wanted to (and you have steady enough hands) I could use it as a steady axis for panning and tilting motion shots.On top of all that, the legs splay way out, so not only can I get extremely high shots, I can use this as a very low tripod that holds the camera inches away from the ground. With the 90 degree elbow arm, I can even hold the camera out to the side, and swing it upside down with the ball mount holding it at nearly ground level.The legs deploy fairly well. I've used legs with smoother action, but they're not bad.It's light and with the bag it's easy to carry around.The only thing left to talk about is the sturdiness. I'd call it mostly sturdy. I'd trust it to hold my camera, but on a windy day there will be motion in the shot. I can feel a bit of wiggle, and there's more with it fully extended. If I was using it for long exposure photography, I'd want to throw some sand bags on the hook.Overall a great tripod for anyone looking for an all-in-1 solution.Highly recommended.

I have a P950 and taking shots at 2000 zoom can be a pain. It's cold out and I didn't want to stay outside for hours on end. I set it down, Tracked the moon locked it in, and shot. Normally this is a 20-minute deal, this took 45 seconds. This is so smooth and easy to adjust, I didn't notice one of the legs was off. The only downfall is getting used to having several settings for the legs.

This company put a lot of thought and engineering into this. It's versatile to say the least.
I purchased this for my astronomy binoculars, and for nature observing. I needed a tripod with stability and adaptability in one product. This is it. Your able to position your camera or binoculars into any position you need with ease. The detachable mono leg is a great feature. If you just want to use it as a mono support, and without having to carry around the entire tripod, it's very simple to do.
I'm very impressed with the construction, look and versatility of this tripod. I will be purchasing more K&F concept products.

I'm a part-time photographer, I mainly do architectural and interior photography, but whenever I can I like to look for locations for landscape, nature, long exposure and night photography.
Buying a tripod online without being able to test it is risky, but 3 or 4 years ago I started to trust the K&F Concept brand and to date they have not disappointed me. I have a backpack, filters, LED lights and even other travel tripods that I love. So I decided to try this model, which also has an incredible working height.
I have yet to find the ideal day to try it out on a long exposure photo of the Milky Way, but from what I've tried so far it seems like a perfect tripod for anything at a pretty reasonable price.
I like it because stretching out the legs puts the camera at eye level (I'm 6'1") and raising the last section of each leg puts the camera at an excellent height for shooting indoors (about 4'1") . In addition, it features a central column with two sections that, in addition to gaining height, can be rotated 90 and left completely horizontal. As you can see in one of the photos, when fully extended and vertical, the tripod is the height of a mini basketball hoop (about 8 feet). The head is very fluid and I find it perfect for tracking and panning for videos.
It features 4 sections on each leg, plus one of the legs can be easily detached and used as a monopod. The head is resilient and supports SLR cameras with professional lenses, up to 10 kg, in my case with my heaviest camera and lens, it doesn't even get dirty.
It wouldn't be uncommon for other brands to charge double the price to have the same thing. Highly recommended.

In this case, you're spending just a bit over $100 and you're getting an excellent all-around tripod. It may not be the most high tech and top of the line product out there, but for the serious photographer or videographer, this is an outstanding solution.

I love how tall it can be. I took a photo of myself next to it. I am 175 cm tall. If you put it in the monopod mode, you can make it even taller. It's quite flexible.

the main downside of it is that the directions are quite lacking. I took a photo of all the relevant pages. On the other hand, the operation is fairly intuitive so with a bit of fiddling, you should be able to figure out how to make it work. Everything is quite smooth. You don't have a jerky feel to it. Everything seems well-lubricated.

I hope the photos are helpful at giving you an idea of what you get. I also like that it comes with a carrying case with a nice handle strap and shoulder strap that is optional. Overall, it's an outstanding value. I recommend it. I have been videoing all over the place. This will be a welcome addition to my arsenal.

I'm 6'4" tall and this is a great tripod for someone my height. With the legs fully extended and the center column completely collapsed, combined with the included ball mount, it sets my camera at just about perfect eye height for me, maybe slightly taller. As you can see in the photos, with the center columns raised to their max, it is way over my head. The tripod is pretty stable, and medium heavy. But it is probably more stable than just about any other tripod for the height, since I can rely on only extending the legs and leaving the center columns down. The legs have 3 extension pieces, and 3 positions for spreading, just in case you are on uneven ground or need some extra stability. One complaint I have has to do with the included ball head mount. The locking mechanism for the ball head is on the right side, relative to the u slot that allows for aiming upwards beyond the normal range of the ball head. This means that if you need to make an adjustment to the camera when using the u-slot, you have to awkwardly reach across with your left hand, or reach all the way around with your left hand, as you have to use your right hand to hold the camera steady as you adjust the locking mechanism. The other option is to hold the camera with your left hand, but this causes you to have to hold the camera by the lens or awkwardly by the body. The other thing I don't like is that you have to remove the hook at the bottom of the center column if you want to invert the center column to locate your camera closer to the ground. I have not used enough tripods to know if the quick release is good or not. It can be challenging to set back in place sometimes, but that might be operator error.
Overall, I am very happy with this tripod and would recommend to anyone who is tall or looking for an extra tall tripod for specific uses.

I have a small carbon fibre tripod that I like to take on most trips, but wanted this for use at home, in town, and for trips to the mountains. There are several features I love about this tripod and it makes it unique even though I already own two other tripods.

First off, I am 6'5, so I love the fact that this tripod can be taken out far past my height. I plan to even use it for uniques shots from above since I can trigger my shutter with an app (I normally use a Sony A7RIII..a Canon 5D Mark III is in the photo).

Secondly, the monopod feature is awesome. You just unscrew a leg and where the pole with the head attaches and you screw them together. I have wanted a monopod that could handle some weight and this fills that need.

Thirdly, and the main reason I wanted it, is that it can be used for overhead shots (my attached photo has a quick example of how that works..sorry for the old iPhone pic quality). I review tech equipment on occasion for Youtube and this allows my iPhone or Canon to be used for overhead shots, while I use the Sony for front facing video on one of my less capable tripods.

I guess the only thing I don't know now is how well it will hold up, but I will update if I have any issues. I also want to note that my girlfriend liked the looks of it. I guess the orange parts of the tripod are attractive compared to the typical all black stylings of my other tripods.

All in all, this fills so many needs for my normal home use that my travel tripod can typically just stay in the case.

it's a very sturdy tripod, the whole thing is made out of aluminum so it should last for a really long time.

There's many adjustments that you can form with this tripod. You can raise it high or spread the feet really wide to get macro shots. It has the ability to transform it into a mono pod within a couple of seconds.

The tripod does have some weight so don't expect it to be light weight but that's what makes it sturdy. It comes with a neat carrying case and inatruction, which you might want to sit down and go over lol

Overall I'm very happy with the purchase

I'm a tripod guy - I have at least a dozen. I have compact ones for travel, big rugged ones when I need a heavy duty model, carbon fiber, aluminum and combination. If you use this tripod a few times you'll realize that whomever designed it took the best features from several tripods and combined them here - although they missed a few.

So I'll start with the misses. The feet - strictly rubber feet. They can be spun out and removed, but there's no spikes to replace them. Spikes are fantastic for dirt, sand, etc. The feet spin out easily - you'll want to tighten them and leave them all the way in - or I guarantee you'll lose them. The ball pivot. It's straight or at a 45 degree angle. I'd prefer if there were locking options with inbetween angles. You can accomplish these varying angles by changing the length of the tripod legs and adding a weight to stabilize it, so that's kind of a wash. There's no place to stash the included hex key. This can come in really handy, but it's not needed when making a monopod out of the tripod.

The legs lock in three fixed positions. This is a feature I have used many times on tripods. Hiking in Utah and shooting from boulders I could angle the legs as needed for a secure perch. The wider the legs, the more stable the tripod, making it exceptionally good for timelapse and long exposure. There's a center column hook for a sandbag - it's pretty light duty though - a steel shaft in a plastic housing with plastic threads. I would not go more than 5 lbs. If you really need weight, open the legs more and use sandbags. I've also used tent stakes with a paracord loop around the feet.

All of the dials and knobs are aluminum, not plastic. That's really nice and increases the life of the tripod by years. Plastic knobs eventually break. They snap if bumped too hard. Aluminum bay dent or scratch, but it won't break like plastic.

All the hardware (connecting screws, nuts, bolts) are stainless.

The included ball head is also darn nice. It has the thicker 3/8-24 thread which is typical for a tripod head. The plate is an Arca-Swiss style sliding plate, and the camera screw has a built-in thumb-catch for hand tightening. No tools (or coins) needed. The plate can be loosened and slid back and forth but will not slide off the head. You need almost two full rotations of the locking knob to fully release the plate. Nice. There's also a built-in bubble level. The ball mechanism sits in a Teflon pocket - so it's smooth.

The top of the tripod (where the head attaches) has a reversible screw - 1/4-20 for cameras or 3/8-24 for tripod heads. The top orange collar locks it in place. It's all hand tightened, so it is possible to start spinning off the ball head without realizing it - there's no locking screws to lock the tripod head in place. The best way to attach the head is to remove the dual sided screw and collar. On the tripod head, loosen the big locking dial and move the plate to the 45 degree position (so it's tucked in the notch.) Thread in the tripod mount screw until it stops - it's actually pressing against the ball at this point. Now spin on the orange collar. Loosen the screw 1/2 a turn. Tighten the collar as tight as you can (without tools!) Now spin on the head and tighten. You'll find it's much more difficult to accidentally spin off.

Anyway, great tripod, a little on the heavier side when compared to compact or carbon fiber models, but a good choice for all-around use. Plus being able to convert to a monopod in under a minute is really handy.

I got this for a binocular tripod for astro viewing it is tall enough to hold them over head for great views of the sky and wide enough spread to not be top heavy for my Binos very steady for good views even at 140X as long as they keep functioning and hold up this could easily be my favorite quick setup for live viewing of the sky
