K&F Concept 34cm/13.4″ Selfie Stick Tripod Mini Tripod for Smartphone with Phone Holder, Portable Vlogging Tripod with Bluetooth for Lightweight Camera, Fill Ligh
I needed a tripod as my hand isn’t steady enough on long exposures and the K&F Concept Selfie Stick Tripod, 360 Degree Rotation Mini Phone Stand with Ball Head and Cold Shoe Mount, Cellphone Holder with Wireless Remote for Smartphone (Black) seemed worth a try. I find it is a good, easily carried tripod to bring along on a hike. The included Bluetooth remote shutter button helps make for clean, sharp photos with my older Galaxy A class smartphone very consistent and I am no longer deleting half of my photos right off the bat because they were blurry. I don’t do selfies but the stick and shutter button really helps getting shots of the underside of the car, inside the mower deck on the tractor, the trailer suspension, behind the furnace, washer/dryer or just about any place you need to see but is hard to get to. However the most unsual use I have found is getting a face to face video of our local grouse (see video). Grouse are quite territorial so while it looks like it’s friendly, curious and almost tame, it’s really just looking for an opportunity to peck at my heels. We find it’s quite adorable but my neighbor finds it just annoying .
The spring-loaded phone holder is big enough to hold my phone with the aftermarket case I put on it which was not the result I have had with most holders I have tried in the past. The extending wand is a little stiff and takes a reasonable pull to get open intially.
Definitely Recommended!
This is a good value small tripod. It has a holder for phone with two 1/4″ threads on the phone holder, and a cold shoe.
It took me a little extra effort get it to extend the first time, but after that I feel like it’s going to extend well and hold weight without sliding down.
The adjustment knob feels nice, and across from it is another 1/4″ attachment point for something like a light or microphone.
The shutter button is a Bluetooth button, those are cheap and easy to find, but it’s nice that they included it. The color of the shutter matches the rest of the tripod nicely, but again, If you have a nicer one, just stick with that.
This is a great value tripod, and I recommend it!
I have actually never had something like this but got it for my girl who Has broken a dozen of them. The unit has some weight to it and feels durable. Claw that holds phone held but was a little sketchy with the case on. Extends up and rotates. Remote nice touch but pretty standard now a days. all and all an ordinary selfie stick, a little sturdier and good price
The K&F Concept selfie stick tripod was something I got after being disappointed by other mini tripods. For some reason once in the “mini” category for tripods, quality becomes difficult to find…so I eventually landed on this one. Of the miniature tripods I’ve tried, this one is executed rather well. The material seems pretty good, the tripod fully extended with my camera attached doesn’t seem like it wants to tip over, and the knob tightens enough that my camera doesn’t slowly begin to droup or change positions. I don’t need a mini tripod often for what I do, however when I do need it, nothing else works in the way I want it to until now. I can most definitely recommend this little tripod that “stands out” in a crowd of tripods and selfie sticks.
I have a bunch of selfie sticks, tripods, ball heads and so evaluating it in light of that. This is the smallest tripod that I have and I knew that this was going to be small when I purchased it. It was still a bit of shock to see how tiny it is. You cannot take use this as a selfie stick unless you are planning to use your face to a majority of the shot. The phone holder on this is not high quality but then that’s not what I got it for. I just wanted a very small tripod for use on my table to hold random gear such as small LED lights/microphones etc and for that it works well. The included remote is an afterthought. There is no place to stow it on the tripod and it is the generic remote you can find on any selfie tripod.
The key value for me is the tabletop nature and stow ability. Overall, a decent product. Don’t go into it thinking you are getting a real selfie stick, rather a supporting tripod for your tabletop studio and it will work fine.
Ok value for money but if you truly want a selfie stick, carry on your search cause this ain’t i
Let me start by saying this is a very good tripod for the size. I will be using it when I travel to hold either a cell phone or a Rode Videomic NTG. For which this tripod works well.
I have a number of micro tripods (as I would call them) for holding phones, go pros, and small microphones. The flexible stand is great for attaching to things, but awful on a flat surface. The aluminum tube stand is study, but the legs are long and wide and take up a lot of desk space. Plus the small ball heads on both make them a bit more difficult to adjust. This K&F concept has a small footprint (legs), yet a VERY sturdy and large ball head.
Let’s start with the PROs
1. Big ball head makes it easy to adjust, and holds very firm
2. The telescoping design has detents on each side to minimize wobble/flex (not eliminate)
3. Rubber grips on the bottom feet and handle minimize sliding well
4. Large mounting surface with a good rubber pad so items don’t come loose when adjusting the ball head.
There are a few things that deserve a star taken off….
CONs
1. The phone mount is functional garbage. It works, but it’s the worst I’ve seen anywhere. It’s going in the trash. (it at least has a cold shoe I suppose)
2. There is quite a bit of flex in the leg! (see video) I had hopes to mount my Canon R50 to this on occasion, but the joint just have too much flex to be comfortable with it supporting the extra payload.
For the money, it’s a very good piece of gear for phones, go pros, and mics. If those plastic legs were aluminum of more sturdy at the joint, this could be great!
This is still going to be my go to mount for the aforementioned items. The ball head, mount, telescoping feature, and small foot print are HUGE wins in my opinion.
