If you want function, lightweight, and ease of use, then this tripod is it. I have it attached to my photography backpack and you hardly feel it. In terms of stability, I love the built in leveler, the easy to use leg latch system, and the lightweight legs. It sits incredibly stable on multi-terrain. I like how K&F also includes a carrying pouch which keeps the tripod protected. The mount is easy to take off and the head motion is super smooth when needing to pan. There's nothing to complain about this tripod, it's that good.

Jag gillar hur hög den expanderar med tanke på hur kompakt den är hopfälld. Den omvända monteringen av mittpelaren och huvudet är en utmärkt funktion. Detta borde passa i de flestas bagage så ett bra val för resenärer. Jag blev förvånad över att det finns mer plast än vad jag normalt ser på bra stativ, inklusive en snabbkopplingsplatta i plast. Plastformarna verkar väldigt starka, så kanske det kommer att vara bra, och potentiellt skulle kunna greppa mer än metallstilen om de saknar gummigreppsmaterial. Jag kämpade mot en metallplatta med snabbkoppling som vred på min metallkamerahus den här veckan, så även om plasten först slog mig som en kostnadsbesparing, så länge det varar i flera år, kanske det inte påverkar funktionaliteten negativt.

This is a lightweight tripod that folds into a really small rod once you close all the legs. I think it's PERFECT for travel, especially if you're backpacking, shooting on-location, or doing site-specific landscape photography. The metal is surprisingly sturdy on the body and should be able to hold the weight of my canon 5d mk 4 pretty well, so long as no one or wind tips it over! I recommend this for anyone on a budget!

I got this to keep in my car for when I need a tripod in a pinch, even for my iPhone (it comes with a phone mount adapter). It's plenty sturdy even for a DSLR with a heavy lens. I think it will serve me well in the field.

To be straight forward on this review want you to know that I really like what this company offers in quality picture taking accessory items. This Tripod kept my faith and gathered my full approval forthright.

It has almost everything going for it. It stands tall and mighty at a full 70 inches. From there you have a folded up compactness for toting of only 17 inches. That feature does sacrifice the use of a center brace. However, the construction of the legs is solid reinforcement and the need for a cross brace in most instances of image capturing in the field is rare, or so it is for me.

The zippered carrying bag is of good quality, the locking snaps on the tripod's legs are positive acting and smooth. One hand adjustments to height of the stand can easily be achieved using only one hand.
The top of the mount has an appropriate tiny arm extension that holds the bubble level. The quick connect works very smoothly and without suggesting that there can be danger from a sudden dismount of a camera or scope.

THE STAR OF THE SHOW:
Now we come to the greatest feature of this tripod's accessory package.
A well designed wireless phone adapter. I usually have no regard for these damaging bear-traps that can destroy a valuable phone. Not in this case because you set the grip, not torturous springs that can exert far too much pressure on the surround of your phone and in some cases upon the edges of the screen itself. This accessory by K&F Concepts for mounting the phone in a pinch situation, is one of the best in the biz. Well made, good machining, secure grip pads...and you set the amount by turning the grip pressure adjusting machine screw with a large grooved knob at one end.
I never put my phone into one of these gadgets on other accessory packages but this one from K&F is a welcomed exception to my usual opinion and non-use of such an item. I actually celebrated this surprise by using the adapter and affixing my phone to the top of the tripod. It is a quality, useful item, and contributes substantially to the value of this tripod.

I think you are beginning to see why I like this company...they think things out, they listen, and they design to please the marketplace.

Great tripod at a very modest price. It is an excellent value so it receives my full approval with Five
BIG STARS.

I really like the design of this tripod. It folds down to something that’s incredibly compact, yet is capable of extending to nearly 6 feet tall. The material is lightweight but sturdy at the same time. It feels super solid. I’ve been filming with a few different cameras with this and I haven’t had any problems. Overall, this thing works great. Highly recommended.

Stativ köpt eftersom jag behövde något som skulle tillåta mig att fotografera från topp till botten utan att förlora stabilitet. Jag provade andra modeller men de visade sig inte vara stabila, så jag försökte köpa detta dyrare stativ än budgeterat och jag ångrade det inte. Den håller min reflexkanon Eos2000d perfekt och utan problem eller svängningar av något slag och är utrustad med en bekväm attack som kan släppas. Armen kan placeras på olika sätt vilket gör att du kan ha olika konfigurationer utifrån vad du vill göra. Stabiliteten är utmärkt inomhus utan användning av någon motvikt för att balansera vikten på kamerahuset och 18-55 objektivet, jag har aldrig provat det utomhus. Också bekvämt är det faktum att den kan nå en hög höjd, benen låser sig i det förinställda läget

I have tried a couple of other K+F products and have been quite happy with the quality and length of the time the product lasts. Heck I don't think I have had to replace ANYTHING I get from this company due to such quality and long shelf life. This product doesn't disappoint. I love how simple the design is and everything moves smoothly (a.e. leg extenders and etc.) It may not have a handle like I would like, but honestly, the design is so well I can overlook it. I also enjoy how it comes with the camera mount as well as the cell phone mount. Although cell phones are most people's go to for any content creation, I still use a DSLR. I love that both can be accommodated.

What I liked about this was how compact and light it is.
It worked well with my heavy telephoto lens Sigma 60-600mm which comes in at a little over 6lbs. There was no real drooping and it felt secure on the tripod.
This is a great accessory if you're going to be hiking, or traveling to keep your weight down on the gear that you're carrying.
It has a middle post. Some may or may not like that, but I really appreciate having the middle post to avoid having to extend the legs further. Especially depending on the terrain that I'm on and the space that I have.
I have 3 different K&F tripods that I have for different uses, and this one does not disappoint.

What I didn't like is that the ball head and parts are all plastic. While it's secure, and quality materials, I can be rough with gear like this, and there's a long term risk with that.

I don't have any other things that I don't like. I also want to add that while my dislike is due to the plastic material on the ball head, it does not disappoint in functionality. You're going to have a very difficult time finding a quality, light tripod that is going to hold a heavy lens anywhere near this price point.

With that price point trade off, long term viability is ok with me because it would not break the bank if I ever needed to replace it, or the ball head. I do have spare ball heads that are not plastic that I can swap out for this one as I have gimbals as well.

This product also performs when attaching my gimbal too it.

Overall, you're not going to be disappointed with this purchase.

This Lightweight Camera Tripod has all the features of a good tripod and even more. One notable feature of this tripod is that the legs can fold upward instead of inward making the tripod compact and easy to carry on a field trip, hiking or camping. The legs and extension can be adjusted from 18.9 inches up to 70.7 inches. The Ball Head can be adjusted to move the camera in any direction and is capable of a holding capacity of up to 17.6 pounds. I have three cameras, the heaviest one weight 5.6 pounds. The Ball Head has a quick release plate for mounting a camera. Shipped with the package is a convenient storage bag for carrying, or the tripod will fit in a backpack. A cell phone clip is available to attach to the tripod. A sandbag can be attached to the hook for stabilization in a windy environment. The center extension can be removed and used as a monopod.
