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.

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.

Jag använder inte stativ ofta, så jag kan inte rättfärdiga att investera i ett dyrt, men jag hade redan ett högkvalitativt kulhuvud. Jag har upptäckt att stativ som inte redan levereras med kulhuvuden är högkvalitativa produkter och kostar mer än jag ville spendera. De flesta billiga stativ levereras med huvuden som antingen inte är avtagbara eller har ovanliga kontakter. Detta stativhuvud är avtagbart och använder ett standard 3/8-tums gängat huvudfäste, så jag kunde enkelt byta ut huvudena. Det finns också ett ganska tunt plastfäste på undersidan av stativet, men det visar sig att det också använder en standard 3/8-tums gänga, som enkelt kan bytas ut mot ett robustare, fjäderbelastat metallalternativ (ett brett utbud finns tillgängligt på Amazon). Jag tror att de färdiga komponenterna kommer att tillgodose de flestas behov väl, men förhoppningsvis är det bra att veta att du kan byta ut delar om du vill göra några uppgraderingar i framtiden.

Vi gillar: Robust och lätt att transportera. Vi gillar inte: Inget panhandtag. K&F Concept 64-tums stativ är lätt och erbjuder ett bra pris för ett resestativ. Det fälls enkelt ihop för transport och är hållbart i användning. Den medföljande telefonklämman är också robust och rymmer telefoner i olika storlekar. De orange detaljerna är också en fin detalj. Min enda önskan är att den hade ett azimut-panhandtag, men det är en vanlig brist på de flesta resestativ. Det rymmer lätta nyttolaster (en telefon, en systemkamera med ett litet objektiv, ett litet tubkikare, etc.).

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.

Den här saken är fantastisk. Jag har filmat mycket professionellt och har haft flera extremt dyra stativ med fluidhead. Men för att filma saker som auditions med en telefon är den här saken fantastisk! Den är mer användbar än de större, dyrare stativen eftersom den är lättare, mer kompakt och kan utöka intressanta, konstiga vinklar. Mitt enda problem var att jag inte tyckte att den var tillräckligt hög, eftersom jag är 185 cm lång. Men sedan upptäckte jag att det finns en extra inställning högst upp (det finns två) som gör att den kan gå upp till 180 cm! Mitt misstag. Sammantaget ett bra köp om du bara behöver klämma in din telefon eller en lätt kamera.

I have seen some reviews on this tripod where they say that something or another is not strong. I would agree. Although, I am happy they did not create this using a lot of heavy metal or it would not be lightweight or compact. Also, if they used a lot of expensive alloys, it would be a lot more expensive.
With all the unique set-up options available, I call this a specialty tripod. It gives me the opportunity to create a picture or video that is different than when using a standard tripod.
When I used this tripod fully extended and the legs were close together, my 2 pound camera was not stable in a strong wind. But when I put a 20 lb photography weight bag on the provided hook that is at the bottom of the center arm, the tripod became extremely stable. I now store an empty weight bag in this tripod’s carry case so when I’m on-site, I can fill it with rocks, sand and even water with the plastic bag I also included.
The small provided carry case looks well-made and has a longer carry strap, so is very easy to carry when doing a shoot out of the studio.
I really like that I can set the three legs at separate heights and angles and even mount the ball head going down between the legs.
There are so many angle options on this tripod, I am thinking that I need to become much more creative to use them all.
The provided bubble level works when the head is upright but not when the head is going down.
JL MS recommends the: K&F Concept 70 inch camera tripod for those who want to become more creative.
