Perfecto … Being 6’8″ in height its ideal no backbreaking stupid tripods. This does it all, folds away nicely. And has a handy sling carrier bag.
Well worth the money!
This is value for money. Well for me anyways. It’s light compact easy to use once it’s set up and the ball head is really tight and has good grip of the camera with no movement. Delighted I got this Tripod over a far more expensive one that overall does the same thing for majority of people.
This really is a nice piece of kit and represents great value for money. I despair when I shop for tripods and see the astronomical prices asked for the better ones. I simply cannot afford top money. So when I came across the K&F range, I hoped their marketing claims were accurate. After watching a few reviews on Youtube I decided to purchase this model and I am glad I did. Light, sturdy and versatile it does the job for me.
Light and easy to put in your case when you go traveling. No problems so far with this camera tripod.
You need some time to figure out how this tripod work
It is very stable, the joints are very tight and the camera sits very well.
Very many settings to keep your camera focused on “target”
My first tripod..I love it its well put togethe
Extra tall and well made. This is my go to run and gun tripod.
Pros –
I like the leg clasps ( not twist grips)
Max height
Still folds to a compact size
Price
Cons –
None
Great build quality and amazing functionality, got this on sale and it was more than worth it.
My only complaint is even fully folded up it is rather bulky so it’s not something I would bring with me around town on a walk especially if I already have my backpack and other camera accessories like my gimbal with me.
It’s perfect though for astro as the stand gets high enough to be nearly my height plus another half and I’m over 6 foot 1 inches!
I wanted a good quality tripod for long exposure photography and I’m very pleased with this one. I’ve had it stood on the shore whilst the tide came in and the water didn’t shake it, and the photos turned out lovely. I’ve been using it for product photography too and I’m able to get a nice angle.
It’s quick and easy to set up and pack away too
I was pleasantly surprised how well made this tripod is. Feels stable with the S5 + 50mm on it. I haven’t tried it with a longer lens yet. Almost all parts made out of metal (knobs are plastic). Very smooth movement on the head.
This is the first expensive tripod I’ve brought and I’m over the moon with it it I’m sure I will be able to contact the company if any problems and even if I want to to buy a offset camera mount not quite sure what it’s called but I would definitely recommend and these tripods
I love this tripod, it comes in a nice and easy to carry bag, it’s very compact, and the ball head is very sterdy and reliable.
You can also by attachment so you can even mount your mobile phone on to it.
Lovely looking tripod with loads of adjustments to achieve what you require. I mount skymaster 20 x 80 bins and it mounts perfectly. Make sure you screw the thread in tightly. Folds up good. Much more stable than my older camera tripod. Also much higher.
Short of buying into ultra professional equipment, which is a little like overkill, this unit does everything tripod related, and if you buy the complete version, accessories include a small spirit level, so no more wonky horizons or unwanted converging verticals. Might as well get the best shots you can to start with rather than missing around with un-square images in photo software after. Mostly aluminium except for some plastic release catches and rubber feet, so won’t get loose and rickety too quickly, like those cheap generic badged tripods. Also comes in a cute carry bag, with adjustable straps. Couldn’t fault any of it.
I have only had this tripod for a while now and I have to say it’s pretty good value for what it offers. Being 6ft in height, this tripod is perfect as I can easily raise it to my eye level. This makes my work souch easier.
It handles my camera load pretty well to. One small downside is that it tends to vibrate on the odd occasion. Just make sure that you have something heavy to hold the tripod down.
Other than that small niggle, I love this tripod.
Good tripod for the money. Had a problem with the release plate, the seller sorted it by sending me a new one free of charge. What more can you ask for?
Love this tripod. So much flexibility for setting up different ways depending on your location/ needs. Took me a sort while to get used to it after switching from my previous tripod but I wouldn’t be without it now.
The rubber mat under camera makes it move around but overall good bit of ki
Slightly heavier than expected, but well made and does everything I expected of it. The tripod is quick to set up and is ready to shoot within around 90 seconds, swinging it to underslung mode in a couple of minutes. well recommended
I’m so pleased with this product. It’s well made and feels so sturdy and safe. I use it with my Nikon Z50 and Nikon d7500 with numerous lenses on it. I especially bought this to support my new Nikon 200mm-500mm lens which weighs in at just over 5lbs. It supports it easily with room to spare. I strongly recommend this product and I’m so pleased that I bought it. Oh, it’s rather stylish too.
Thank you K&F for delivering a really good value for money product.
I love the options the tripod offers. The top seems a bit loose but it doesn’t affect the camera stability in any significant way and actually makes it easy to turn horizontally so no complaints. Just a nag sometimes.
All in all, a good produc
There isn’t much to say about this product other than it is superb. The build quality and sturdiness of it are exceptional for the price. It is slightly heavy but as an amateur, I’m not bothered about it being light for the price. This is the third tripod I’ve had since getting my first camera and I have no doubt that this will last me my lifetime. Everything works exceptionally smooth, strong and stable. Just clicking the legs into place feels premium and the quick release really is quick release.
5 out of 5 in every department for me.
Really pleased, I haven’t used it much yet but so far can’t fault it, all features work fine and it seems really stable. So versatile, it goes really tall for those top view shots and collapses to a really small size, really useful to use on a desk top… recommend!!
Folds down nice and easily. The only thing I’m not entirely sure about the sturdiness of are the clips on the legs and the latches at the top of the legs, not sure how long they will ultimately last for. Also, once you have your camera attached to the tripod head, you can’t see the spirit level on the head. Need to sort that out for the updated models in future, perhaps?
However, that doesn’t detract from what is ultimately a very good value for money piece of kit. I was initially going to buy one of the more expensive carbon fibre K&F models, but I settled on this one as it seemed much more suited to my needs, and it could fold down to a very short length.
I do like the dampened ball head, and I’m looking forward to using this tripod to get some good panoramic shots. I did have to tighten the nut on the ballhead itself (with the supplied allen key) to make sure my camera didn’t fall over when it was attached to the ballhead. Apart from that, it’s been a really good tripod so far.
It does come with a very well made carrying bag, a nice gesture. I also like the 200cm maximum height, though I think I will be attaching my camera bag to the main stalk of the tripod body, to weigh it down in case of windy weather.
A good bargain for the low price I paid, I did consider a Manfrotto, but I saw good reviews of K&F tripods from several Youtubers that I like to watch, and K&F seemed a decent enough brand (I already own a few of their lens mount adaptors for my Fuji cameras) so took the plunge.
Can’t wait for lockdown to end so I can go further afield and get more use out of this fantastic tripod. Recommended.
My Daughter got this for my Christmas present and l love it. First let me say i’m not a pro photographer, but for me this has been so much better than my old tripod. It is sterdyer and setting up the camera is so much easier than the fixed head l used to use, the ball head has made composing a shot so much more straightforward and putting the camera onto the typod is a sinch, its quick and less fiddly. It extends to a decent height, without the centre column used so no risk of camera shake, but if you did need it, for me it’s a tiptoe shot. It is nice and light to carry and a lot of the time l keep my camera attached to it as l walk around. It’s a very good price especially when compared to a pro tripod. To end this review its given me sharper photos and i’m now going to get my wife one for valentines.
Very lightweight and compact. Really like the monopod detaching and can be used as a walking stick.
All legs have retractable spikes on bas for added grip on soft ground.
Very versatile piece of kit for the price. Center tube can be inverted to allow very low shots and the legs at full extension allow for a great height for a lightweight tripod. Very happy with the purchase.
I’m very very pleased with this tripod. I’ve gone through a few tripods the last couple of years. I prefer it to the more expensive brands. It’s very sturdy, lightweight, easy to pick up and walk about with when it’s extended. I use this with a 150-600 lens and the others didn’t have as much stability as this k and f. I’m very impressed indeed
The instructions fail to say how to use the Monopod. Other than that it is just what I hoped for and my husband is very pleased with it.
I was concerned when I got this that it might not be any good for my Fujifilm camera, as that was not listed in the cameras for which it was suitable. However, it fits and the whole thing is sturdy and solid as a tripod. The instructions show only the tripod and I have not investigated making the monopod yet, although another reviewer has said there is a video. Maybe an update to follow
Considering the price of this tripod, I am very happy indeed. It’s well made, well thought out features, and folds down into a very easy to carry size bag. The Monopod is surprisingly strong and handy if you happen to need one quickly while out and about. Definitely worth purchasing.
I’ve used this tripod for a few months now, in various settings.
Haven’t had a single issue. It’s been in salt water, mud, 100% submerged in fresh water (whoops) and sand. And it’s not suffered at all.
It deploys super-quick thanks to the clips rather than twist tightening on the legs. The bubble level on the head is very useful if, like me, you’re rubbish at getting things level by eye.
The detachable monopod is a good height and just sturdy enough to use as a light use hiking pole.
hird outing and the head adjusting(securing tightner) broke almost toppling the tripod and smashing my camera, not even a heavy camera eos 650d, returned for refund, the operator at amazon support was exelle
It looks and feels great – I really like it BUT..
I’ve bought mine for a new pair of Celestron Astro Binoculars (Sky Master 25 * 100 ) given to me as a gift – they apparently mount to any standard camera tripod.
This tripod is supposed to take up 10kg load; the bins are less than 5 kg so the tripod looked to be a great option.
I was surprised how short the 1/4 inch mount screw is, there’s only 4mm of thread to be screwed into the adaptor on my binoculars. I was expecting something at least double the length.
The female thread on the binocular mounting is at least 8mm deep — perhaps 10mm. I guess the thread just needs to hold the load against the mounting plate, that any torque generated by the load at the plate is reacted by the plate itself rather than the screw. Nonetheless I’d feel much more comfortable with 8 mm of thread engagement.
Surely this would be the same concern if mounting a camera with a long lens? Positive engagement of the mounting screw seems such a fundamental feature for heavier loads. On that basis I’d think this product could be significantly enhanced if shipped with a long and short 1/4 adaptor screw. A longer screw would also avoid some of the issues I’ve read of them easily becomming loose.
Is there a longer screw available from K&F Concept?
This is an excellent tripod, it holds all my lens very steady , even my tamron 150-600 g2 lens as my pan and tilt tripod couldnt it steady, very easy to use plus you have the bonus of mono leg attachment, I can definitely recommend this tripod.
Brilliant product, the description was exact and accurate….
Lightweight and sturdy, the ability to quickly release the camera from the tripod is great quick to set up and it folds away again into a small and robust carry case.
It looks the biz too with great black body and red mechanisms making it look more expensive than it really is.
Awesome product for the price
So getting this thing back in its case was a nightmare. How it fit in there to begin with I don’t know. In order to jam it in I had to take the top part of it off and there’s now 2 pieces that I’m not certain I’ll be able to screw on which is very annoying.
I have to say I am very impressed and delighted with this tripod – 79″ one – it is very well made and the fact that it doubles up as a monopod which can be used as a walking stick is brilliant and the handle grip of the walking stik is plenty high enough and adjustable ( I’m 6ft!) And of course using the monopod as a walking stick means the remainder of the tripod is even lighter to carry plus you are ready to take your next photo/video at any time. With the camera mounted on the tripod and whilst using the monopod I can raise it above my head height whilst standing which is great for filming and photographing birds nesting and even squirrel families playing. Ps it also comes with a very nice well made carry case with shoulder strap. As I said before I am very impressed and delighted with this tripod/monopod and definitely recommend it.
It is light weight but also extremely sturdy.
The Ball-Head is Huge.
Controls are super smooth.
360 Pan feels like a fluid-head.
Opening legs are easy.
Unlocking & Locking the mechanism to extend the legs, very easy.
Buttons in order to expand the footprint on the legs very soft to press.
Large camera Plate.
All and all, this tripod is a huge win for the money.
Superb Tripod, innovative design, works perfectly, solid and sturdy excellent, not heavy just 8 kg.
I needed a tripod to keep using my camera in my part time job.
It has an immediate and positive impact on the quality of my photos, little or no vibration or camera shift between shots.
Completely new, well packaged tripod as seen in the picures. Excellent product well worth the money.
It is different to other tripod designs and it takes some time to getting used to the way it works.
Has a detachable foot nail points at the bottom, with rubber ideal for all weather conditions.
Great purchase, would definitely recommend it to my colleagues .
Very nicely done midium size tripod! Portable, fits side pocket in normal backpack. Came in in solid bag, which seems to be weatherproof also. I’m using it with Canon 5D when don’t need a big tripod and it does the the job. Clips are working and keep legs in a right position, ball head is quite small obviously but steady enough. I think is a value for money and can recommend!
I have just started a photography degree and wanted a good quality Tripod that would see me through my course without bankrupting me! This seemed to fit the bill.
I wasn’t disappointed, the build quality feels really sturdy and it’s very stable. It’s folds almost inside out so it saves a lot of space and it ticks in the loops on the side of my bag. It’s certainly not heavy.
I haven’t used the removable climbing pole jet but I can see this being really handy as I intent to take a lot of mountain photos.
I also noticed that it had the degree dial for pano photos so that the pics are easier to pair up after.
Overall, very pleased with it!
I’ve owned this for a few months now, so have given it fair trial. It does everything I need in a tripod. I particularly like the Arca Swiss compatible head, which in combination with an L bracket specific to my EOS M6, makes mounting and changing orientation of the camera a breeze. I like the twist locks on the legs, and prefer them to the lever style locks on some other tripods. The legs can be spread wide for added stability in wind, and there’s a short vertical pole to allow for really low positioning. As a landscape photographer I need equipment that is light enough for my hikes across the countryside, yet is strong enough to withstand hard use – this works!
I recently lost the hook that screws into the bottom of the vertical tube, and is useful for hanging the camera bag for added stability. It was my own fault, but following contact with the Kent Faith customer service department a replacement will be mailed to me free of charge. That’s great customer service!
Love this tripod. It’s portablity, flexibility in use and build quality especially at this price point. Makes me wonder why I spend so much on well known brands that can cost in the 100s to do what I use this for. The build quality may not quite be up to the expensive brands nor can I say anything on the long term robustness of this item, but how I use it, it compactness and the amazing quality of the carrying bag supplied I can only totally recommend this product. My only very small gripe is to make into a monopod one has to use the supplied thread and nut, which one has to carry separately and can be easily mislaid or lost. For a tripod/monopod to use with smartphone cameras, point and shoot and mirrorless this is a perfect all round solution, the fluid head pan movement is nicely balanced even if tension is not adjustable. Would highly recommend purchasing. One final consideration is the legs have a self locking sprungloaded release, which I much prefer over the nearest competition products as they have a clip that has to be pushed in manually to lock the legs into position.
Review:
After testing the tripod, it works really really well I would recommend this tripod. I’m really happy with the choice I made
Purchased as a temporary cheap smaller tripod to go on a trip with as I didn’t want to lug my huge monster around, was very pleasantly surprised by the quality! Tripod is compact, sturdy and the nicely chunky ball head copes with my 7D and Sigma 100-300 F4 (about 2.5kg together) with no problems regardless of angle, with the bonus that it happily accepted the Arca Swiss plate already mounted to the lens. Panning is smoothly damped. Packs up very small indeed, and goes very low with the legs spread out and the shorter centre tube fitted. Can’t really fault it for the price, and wouldn’t have felt much differently had I paid double.
Bad points – Leg locks feel a bit cheap, but do the job perfectly well. Wouldn’t want to use it with the centre post extended very far, but that’s the same with most tripods regardless of brand.
I have certainly purchased much lower quality gear with far more expensive names on when it comes to tripods –
