K&F Concept Camera Tripod Monopod 67″ Overhead Aluminum Lightweight Tripod with Horizontal Arm Transverse Center Column 360 Degree Ball Head TM2515T1 for Canon Nikon Sony

Ok so I have had this for a while now and simply BLOWN away by how good it is. I bought it to film vinyl on my 1210s to then upload to YouTube… not actually done that once. I have however used with a laser on every single DIY job in the house. This is not the cheapest tripod out there…. but I am hugely impressed. It is well worth stepping up a bit on price. NOTHING like it. Incredible options and packs down too into a little bag. Ten stars on this!!

Don’t get me wrong, it does what it says on the tin. And it does it relatively well. However, go make it into a monopod involves more steps than I’m happy with, it should be simpler. Also, with regards to sturdiness – I use it as a tripod to copy negatives.

Now, I know well enough that using a tripod isn’t a good idea in the first place, you should use a copy stand. However, to alleviate the fact that I don’t have a copy stand I use the tripod, and use the hook under the centre column to hang some weights to make it sturdy. The thing is that it doesn’t handle that very well, it’s almost like it becomes springy if you get my drift. So I had to remove weight until I was left with about 2 – 3 Kg, not much at all.

For ‘normal’ use it does the job nicely.

Would I buy it again? No, unfortunately not. I would spend the extra money to get a carbon one, no doubt.

J’ai dj fait la review de l’un des produit de la marque “K&F Concept”, c’tait un filtre ND variable gris neutre qui m’avait convaincu d’acheter de nouveau de cette marque.
J’ai donc command et reu ce trpied, premire impression en ouvrant le colis tait l’emballage qui donnait l’impression d’acheter un produit de luxe, vraiment !
Je m’empresse donc d’ouvrir la bote pour voir ce qu’elle cachait, et je dcouvre un sac de transport pour le trpied, qui est d’excellente qualit, super beau, sobre et qui donne un look professionnel.
J’ouvre le sac et dcouvre le trpied, il est fait dans une matire qui est vraiment solide et assure une stabilit de l’appareil une fois fix dessus. Le trpied peut tre haut, trs haut : je fais 1m73, une fois au max, il doit atteindre les 1m80 je dirai. Je compte partir en trek avec et j’avais peur qu’il soit grand et lourd une fois “rang” mais en ralit, il s’utilise facilement et se range tout aussi facilement, il devient presque minuscule une fois pli. En plus, l’norme avantage est qu’il n’est pas lourd du tout !
Enfin bref, je conseille fortement ce trpied pour son rapport qualit-prix plus qu’intressant !

This one is sturdy and has ideal controls for all sort of photography shots

Excellent value for money. Better than a higher priced bigger brand I had. I have only used it indoors but got on with it fine. It comes with three legs and a bracket. Much better than those two legged tripods

Product was lightweight and sturdy. Easy to set up and use. Was a bit overpriced for that type of tripod. To early yo tell how robust the tripod is over time.

Sturdy, lightweight versatile. Very well made. Nice carry case. Excellent piece of kit.

Really good and well designed. It’s off high quality and has lasted well despite me abusing it in saltwater at times.
Ingenious way it can get low shots too
Very happy with this purchase. Takes my cannon dslr really well

Wow! That should say it all. This is the best tripod I have ever owned. My Manfrotto is going on Gumtree. Sorry Manny. I’ve also got a no name pan and tilt that doesn’t even come close. I am 100 percent happy with it. The articulated boom is something I never thought I would need, now I don’t know how I managed without it. A great buy at an unbelievable price.

Try & Tested, Excellent Product, I would also recommend this Tripod for a hand held video camera. Had a very small problem, but the Excellent Customer Services, I got put it right straight away with No problem. Reccomend for Photograper & Videographer, and Excellent Customer Services.

Excellent quality…added carry bag is very useful as well.

Design is easy to use and VERY flexible for all those awkward shots!

I don’t know what I expected with this really, but having now used it for a while I thought I’d write a review.

First off, it is a reasonable height, folds to a very compact size, is lightweight and fairly sturdy with my Panasonic G9 and even the long 100-300 zoom lens fully extended. It does feel a little rough around the edges in some parts if you compare it to a 300 product, but how can you complain at this price. The Ball-head is good, not brilliant but it does the job. It’s fully arca-swiss compatible and takes my Peak Design capture plates perfectly. And of course you can replace the head if you like.

It comes in a neat bag with the head covered by a velvet bag. One minus point – there is no pocket in the bag to hold the allen key, tripod mount, double connector and small extension tube which are supplied. That means they can be easily lost. I keep them in the velvet bag and leave parts at home unless I think I’ll be using them. The monopod option is great and works well but you will need some of the parts in the bag so again – a pocket would have made it perfect. Then again, you can buy tripod bags separately

This tripod has so many features and functions, and whilst it is a little clumsy and fiddly in how it does them – it does do them! Again, at the price you can’t complain. You can invert the central column for working close to the ground, or swing it perpendicular to the ground for top down product shots. The legs are individually adjustable so even on uneven ground you can get it level. When you clamp the camera into a certain position there is a little movement so you do have to be careful and adjust a couple of times to get the perfect framing – this is a sign of the cheaper product but again it is minor.

I also wanted a travel tripod but to be honest I’m struggling to find one which packs more compactly than this (39cm) or is significantly lighter (1.6Kg – 1638 grams to be precise) even when looking at carbon fibre

Overall, I’d happily stand this up against products twice the price, or even more. A slightly better bag and slightly better ballhead would make this the product of the year for sure.

I was looking for a tripod to replace my old one, as it was having stability problems. I found this one while searching for one and after looking at the reviews, I decided to give it a try.
Honestly, it’s amazing! It’s a tripod, a monopod, it also has a vertical/horizontal camera holder, weight hook, and the legs can be reversed for better portability. Only downside in this is probably the weight, which is just a bit heavier than usual. However, I think that for the price that is being asked, it’s hard to find something better. It’s pros outweight the cons a lot. I am very satisfied with this product, as it fills every need I had while looking for a new tripod and I recommend it for anyone – begginer or professional!

I’ve had this tripod for a couple of months now and have used it in a variety of shoots. For the price, I absolutely cannot fault it!

– It’s not the lightest tripod in the world but it’s by no means “heavy”.
– It’s almost infinitely adjustable, which allows it to work well in a huge range of positions. Spend a bit of time getting familiar with all the adjustment points and options and you’ll be set!
– It’s solid and study enough for long exposures with absolutely no blur. There’s even a hook under the main stem to hang some extra weight if you need the tripod to be truly solid, and if you can afford to lose some height you have the option of spreading the legs much wider (see photos).

Nice bit of kit and very versatile. Can be used in a number of ways. Took a little bit of working out at first but works really well. Only concerns are the center piece inside the tightening screw thing has a plastic part which really feels cheap and I thought was actually broken at first because it came out. Also I had a Canon 80d with a 24-70 2.8 lens attached and with this fully extended and my son brushed pass it and it fell over really easily with a heavy lens so be cautious when using this with heavy gear and being away from it at events or around kids ect. Its light weight and folds up really well and I’m sure you will love it for its versatility but build quality could be improved in many ways as latch springs also don’t feel to great when pressing them. Overall great bit of kit for the price of 65 and does the job it’s supposed to. Brilliant if you do macro photography.

My old Manfrotto just broke (it’s been a disappointment generally) so it was time to try something different. I was attracted to this one because you can tilt the central column over by 90 degrees. I do macro photography and this makes it much easier to get the camera just where you want it, even when you’re against a table or need to point the camera straight down. I also like how you can have the legs at different angles — there’s a simple ratchet on each leg and you can splay the legs right out and have your camera nearly at ground level. It’s just tall enough for me when fully extended (I’m 172cm tall).
The damped fluid head rotates really smoothly in two different places. You’d be able to do really nice video pans with this, especially if you have the central column at 90 degrees and use it as a handle.
It’s not especially heavy but when collapsed to be its smallest does feel quite chunky. But it’s easy to carry over your shoulder with the very nice padded carry case. There’s even a velvet pouch to protect the head of a tripod in there. And there’s a sprung hook at the bottom of the column to hang something like a heavy bag to stabilise the tripod.
There are so many features my old tripod didn’t have, like a bubble spirit level, easy conversion to a monopod (you get a small extension tube and an allen key for this), and a quick release plate. I’m starting to be glad the Manfrotto broke!
All the knobs and moving parts operate smoothly. The tripod feels solid and well-engineered and is a pleasure to use. It looks good too.
Any niggles? Hardly. Mine doesn’t stand ‘quite’ straight even with all legs fully extended, though that doesn’t matter because you level the camera at the head. Also, I would have preferred all the adjustment knobs to be wing nuts. Only one is and you realise it’s easier than the others to turn, but it’s no big deal. Oh, and the instructions are terrible.
Overall, I think this is great tripod, the best I’ve used. It’s good value too.

This is an excellent value and very versatile tripod. I recently upgraded my camera to much more expensive and much heavier model. I read a couple of reviews on reputable photography sites and done quite a bit of research and comparison before purchasing and haven’t been disappointed by my choice. It has a quality feel and the ball moves very smoothly. I was particularly concerned about the quality of the camera foot plate, but it is well constructed and fits very securely. Even the carry case (something I usually discard) is decent quality and useful. I’m very pleased at how easy it is move the bars to set up at various different angles. I have put together the monopod, just to see how it works and it seems sturdy enough.
Admittedly I have only had the tripod for a couple of weeks, but it has already become a “go to” bit of kit and I am far more inclined to use the tripod than I was with my old one. Extremely happy with this purchase.

What impresses immediately in thist K&F Concept 60″ Tripod is the quality and the attention to detail, beginning in the sturdy carry bag. The 39 cm tripod can open up to 154 cm. You can use the tripod in countless situations, being very versatile for shooting night shots, taking product shots, macro shots at the ground level, and even using for shooting videos. The tripod is sturdy, tight, but if is very windy it has a stand in the center to add some weight. The head have a plate with easy grip screw, is also very versatile and sturdy, making it easy to level the horizon of the camera without moving its paws, especially usefull in video shooting. Note the excellent rubber paws, non-slip and narrow to achieve stability even on dirt terrain.
The set have a different short central axis that is easy to change in case you don’t need to use the big one that comes assembled.
When i need to put my video camera on tripod, as i use a different plate to use in a gimbal, i put a quick release plate as i show in the picture.

Great value for money. An excellent tripod especially for travel but also for everyday use.

Lightweight and compact. Very easy to use. Holds my digital SLR camera with telephoto lens without any issues

What an awesome tripod…. these were the words of my brother. I bought it to offer him as a gift cause he is a photographer with 10 years experience and is using Sony A7 III. He is very pleased of a gift, he says that this is a proper tripod that is very useful. You can adjust it in many different ways so you can take the best angle posible. Great on stability, weight and sturdiness. It comes with a very nice carry bag. It’s not that cheap but if my brother has given a very positive feedback for it than i think itms worth the money.

There are few tripods that offer such versatility as this well constructed, impressive and versatile unit. A must for me is the feature that allows it to be used horizontally which is so useful for macro work. I also like the ability to use part as a monopod. The tripod has some super functions and is easy to adjust and manoeuvre into so many different positions. I am so impressed. It also comes with a sturdy, well made bag to keep it in. I tried a leading photographic store before buying this and they had nothing like it in terms of versatility.

I was kindly sent this tripod by K&F Concept to review, however this is my honest opinion based on using the tripod for a few shoots in the studio and out on location. First off it comes in a really sturdy bag with both handles and a shoulder strap. Inside is a very well build tripod that is actually a very good weight for aluminium and looks great.

The tripod legs have twist locks that are simple to use and quick the get the legs extended or collapsed. It compacts really nice and small which is ideal for travel or hiking for landscapes. I particularly liked the way the centre column can be raised and then turned 90 degrees to create a horizontal camera support arm. This is super handy for capturing macro, food or small product images .

The tripod is compact, good weight, full of features and at an excellent price point. I honestly think this is an excellent buy for the money should do everything you need and more.

One of the legs can be unscrewed to use as a monopod, this is super handy when working in tight spaces.

So to sum it up, it’s worth every penny, buy it, you will not be disappointed!

I have added a review on YouTube, you can find this by searching youtube for this product description.

I’ll start this review with a warning, my reviews are usually pretty long and detailed, but I like to write my reviews in a way that will help other buyers, particularly when buying from relatively unknown or overseas companies.
This was my first purchase from this company and I must say that I am genuinely very impressed. It wasn’t strictly a ‘blind’ purchase because I had the good fortune of finding their company stand at this year’s (2019) Photography Show at the NEC in Birmingham, UK.
Whilst there, I had the opportunity to handle and have a play with a few of their different tripods and lens filters. I then left without making a purchase whilst I mulled over what kit I’d like to upgrade.
I am a keen amateur photographer and so I have a limited budget for my kit and have been ‘making do’ with a cheap tripod that I’ve had for years, and has been subject to far too many repairs over the years, so I decided that it was time for improvements!
I ordered this tripod and it arrived within 2 days and it was really well packaged. Inside the box, I found that the tripod and accessories were contained in a sturdy, but conveniently sized, carry bag with handles. (See photos). The bag contained the tripod with a ball head in a very snazzy, velvety, protective draw string bag. There was also a shoulder strap for the carry bag and a small bag containing adaptors, instructions and an ‘Allen’ key to tighten the tripod legs if necessary.
Upon lifting the tripod out of the bag, it immediately feels solid, robust and clearly great quality. In its fully folded position, the tripod is approximately 15″ long and fits neatly in the carry bag without a struggle! To put the tripod straight to use, you simply pull all 3 legs downwards and the red aluminium locking clips, at the top of each leg, lock the legs in their first position, with the central column fully extended. A simple turn of the rubber coated central locking nut, by hand, allows the central column to drop into its most stable position.
Each of the legs on the tripod have sections which can be quickly and easily extended, and locked into position, by means of a turn of the rubber coated locking nuts at the top of each section.
The red aluminium locking clip, at the top of each leg, can then be used to change the splay of the legs to one of three set positions and beyond. To increase stability, when the legs are extended, the base of the central column has a spring loaded hook fitted that you can hang your camera bag or a weight from for more piece of mind if you need to leave the tripod unattended.
I connected the shoe to the base of Nikon D300 (one of my heavier cameras) and the ball head had absolutely no problem supporting it.
A couple of twists, by hand, of the various locking screws on the head and I was able to extend the central column before rotating it through 90 degrees (see photos). At this point, and purely for the purposes of this review, I left the centre column in its fully extended position with the camera still fitted to it. I was very pleasantly surprised to see that it easily supported the heavy DSLR in this, normally, very unstable position! (see photos).
After returning the centre column back to a vertical position, you just need to unscrew, by hand, the base of the centre column to allow it to be replaced upside down so that your camera can be underslung on the tripod. This is absolutely ideal for macro and pet photography and adds further stability with the camera mounted to it.
One of my favourite features of this tripod is the ability to quickly remove one of the legs so that it can be used as a monopod!! Anything that means that I can carry less kit with me is always a winner, in my view! To do this, simply unscrew the top of the leg, with the convenient rubber hand grip fitted to it, and attach the centre column or head to it using the provided screw adaptor. This is a quick and easy operation and just as quick and easy to reverse.
All in all, I’m absolutely over the moon with this tripod. A lot of thought has clearly gone into its design and it is clearly built to last. Its outstanding quality, and very competitive price, means that this will be just one of many products that I’ll purchase from K&F Concept. I would most definitely recommend this product for photographers, videographers and vloggers alike.

Thanks to my friends on youtube, I got recommendation for tripod from K&F. Right after I got it, I had to test it and now I’m using it 5-8 hours every day where I see it amazing. Most important to me is extended horizontal stick, where I can use it for ground shots or shots above certain product. And how small it is when it’s assembled, fits everywhere!

Now after I tried tripod, I’m sure I will test more from K&F!

First impressions are good.feels solid and well made .even the carry bag they supplied is as people say extremely good quality.
