Overhead Tripod 78"/200cm DSLR Flexible Aluminium Travel Tripod 22lbs/10kg Load - K234A7 + BH-28L (S210)

We have an annual pitch on a campsite by a large lake. Eagles can regularly be seen in the sky here, which I like to observe with binoculars. However, it is exhausting to keep the binoculars steady for a long time. That's why I ordered this tripod.

To attach the binoculars to the tripod, I bought a binocular tripod adapter. Thanks to the common thread, this can be attached very well and I can then also use my binoculars on it.

The tripod has a ball head in the upper area that can be tightened. If you loosen it a little, I can turn the binoculars in all directions, don't get cramps in my arms and can watch the eagles wonderfully.

But I also like to use it for my camera and if you have an adapter for a mobile phone, you can also attach it to the tripod. So it can be used in many ways.

What I really like are the adjustable feet. A spirit level is also attached to the tripod so that you can set it up straight. In addition, it can be extended up to 2m and has a comfortable height to work with.

Very well made, stable, can be extended far and, thanks to the attached spirit level and adjustable feet, it can also be placed horizontally. I like it very much... 5 stars

As a landscape photographer, I tested this tripod in various situations, especially on mountain and high-altitude trails. My review of this K&F Concept model was created by dividing my reviews into five areas: Construction, Stability, Practicality, Compactness, Attention to detail.

CONSTRUCTION: At first glance, the K&F Concept model S210 conveys the feeling of being built with high-quality materials. Aluminum is well made and lightweight.
Unlike last year's models, which featured a plastic ballhead mounting plate, the S210 is — to my delight — aluminum with the letters K and F made of soft rubber on top to avoid possible scratches on the underside of the camera , once it is attached.

STABILITY: I have tested this tripod in various conditions and terrains, mainly in the mountains. I've tested it on steep trails with a good incline, in muddy terrain and with very tall grass, on asphalt and on dirt. In addition, these tests were always carried out in relatively current wind conditions (I was at high altitude and/or in mountainous areas, but very open). On all of the occasions described here, the S210 showed no signs of failure. The final file was tested itself in a long exposure session and found no micro-movements.

CONVENIENCE: This tripod is equipped with systems for unlocking the lever parts, which are extremely practical. In fact, in a few seconds you can unlock all 4 sections that this tripod is equipped with. The lever for unlocking and locking the ball head — the latter with a diameter of 28mm — is very pleasant to the touch and easy to manipulate, as is the lever for rotating the entire head. However, the locking system is very firm and secure. Very useful, especially for those who do macro and vegetation photography, is the ability to reverse the center column and thus place the device very close to the ground. Finally, one of the legs can be unscrewed and used as a monopod, while the central column has a very useful hook,

COMPACTNESS: With just 49cm of space when closed, this model really is an excellent compromise for those looking for a solid and stable tripod with a respectable height — the S210 reaches 200cm with the center column fully raised — but which is easy to transport and weighs only 1.4 kg.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL: At first glance you can see the remarkable attention to detail with which K&F Concept built this tripod. The black and orange color choice is very elegant and the small details such as the hoops on the aluminum plate that recall the manufacturer's name, the hoops that allow you to lock and unlock the second part of the central column, the model number and the Soft grip on one of the legs proves very pleasant both to the touch and from an aesthetic point of view.

In summary, I can only recommend this tripod with an excellent price/performance ratio:

- to those who are looking for an excellent compromise between solidity/stability and compactness/lightness;
- those who need a relatively tall tripod;
- those who want to save something without compromising the quality of the product in the slightest.

So far I've only had very small and shaky tripod experiences, so I was initially surprised by the stability of this tripod, despite being such a lightweight.

The tripod is very multifunctional because you can use it as a tripod, monopod or selfie stick.

It has a spring-loaded hook on which you can hang a counterweight sandbag for a more stable stand.

The setting is very quick thanks to quick-release fasteners on the tripod legs and folding fasteners for height adjustment.

A spirit level is installed on the top, so that panoramic shots can be taken with the 360° ball head with scale.

The scope of delivery includes the tripod with 360° ball head, bracelet, ball head bag, Allen key, tripod bag and operating instructions.

The tripod makes a good impression in terms of workmanship and the choice of materials.
I can recommend it.

Advantages: + Very light (just under 1.5 kg) + Versatile: 3 functions (high tripod, tripod for flat shots, monopod + Robust construction (works after several uses and assembly and disassembly) + Practical quick-release plate, with a clever foldable ring for a good screw connection without tools (only with fingers) + Efficient construction: despite the maximum height of just over 2m, it measures no more than 50 cm when folded in. + Chic design + Price-performance ratio is very good (comes at a height of 2m and costs just over 100€! ) + The mounting head has a spirit level for the horizontal setting; and for special purposes you can align on the horizontal plane according to angle degrees + The carrying case is awesome Cons: - For outdoor use with heavy cameras (e.g. full format with tele, or bridge) and complete or strongly extended (in height) rather shaky: the static position is well maintained, but sensitive to wind and light impacts, the resulting vibrations last 1-2 seconds - Not suitable for video recording with tracking: it has a ball head, but only for static adjustment, no fluid head, no accompaniment lever. - User manuals are in Mandarin and English. The English is easy to understand, but not everything is explained (eg how to get to the monopod version). Only the video which is linked in the Amazon page helps. Conclusion: In my opinion, for indoor recordings or outdoors with compact recording heights or small cameras, it is a very good buy for the price. I'm not giving 5 stars because it's sold as "Pro" but it isn't. The 4 stars are fully deserved.

have been using it with the original 5D for a few days. The tripod goes a lot higher than expected. There is a spirit meter. The ball is metal. The tripod mount is compact and feels strong. I couldn't test it in wind though.

Very complete tripod of very good quality, made of aluminum and magnesium alloy, which makes it strong and resistant and durable.
It is important for any photography enthusiast to be able to take snapshots safely, as it can adjust from the camera support area to the tripod base.
This stand ticks all the boxes as it can safely and reliably make height adjustments from 50cm to 2m while also being able to detach and change everything in seconds.
The angles of the tripod legs are also adjustable and therefore flexible. With the 360 degree ball head, photos can be taken from any angle.
The weight of the brace does not exceed 1.5 kg and it has a good carrying backpack.
It's a very good tripod, which is very important for photography, especially sports photography with very high zoom ranges.
It is ideal for Sony Alpha as it supports the weight of the camera with large lenses very well and provides security and ensures that the photographic equipment is safe and secure in the mount. I am very happy with the results and the improvement in the image of the photos as it is firm and sturdy.

I've only owned a small tripod so far, but it only has a certain "reach" and you can film or record smaller things with it. Since I'm not an expert myself, I looked at a few things and especially the color of the tripod and the size won me over.

So I needed a much larger tripod. The product comes with a bag which can be very useful for transportation.

+ A tripod that folds up on itself and is easily transported in your bag
+ It easily supports objects up to 10kg
+ You can adjust the length between 55cm and 200cm with a camera or other
+ A bag is included, that you can also wear with the cape included in the accessories
+ One of the best extras is the spirit level, which is built into the device, as this gives you the advantage of being able to set up the tripod straight and securely, even on a non-straight level.

+/- Not being an amateur photographer myself, I don't know if this tripod would be highly recommended, but by my standards it meets my needs and is easy to store, unpack and transport. I can't complain about that.

It's great fun to have a tripod that can be adjusted from small to large. A good alternative to the small tripod, which I have always used for my videos or my photos before.

I am very surprised at the quality! I got it for prime day and I'm very happy with it! I already use it to record and take pictures with my Sony a 6600, top product

Just what I wanted for landscape and wildlife photography. Very versatile and easy to set up for lots of scenarios. Definitely recommend.

My new K&F Concept 200cm tripod S210 is packed nicely and compactly in the carrying bag with shoulder strap. My DSLR is a bit heavier due to the second battery handle, possibly a heavy lens and accessory attachments, but that doesn't bother the S210 camera tripod at all. Even fully extended, on uneven ground, it cuts a good figure and fixes the attached camera properly. For the size and massiveness, the weight is absolutely acceptable. All hinges and clamp connections are properly manufactured and processed. All 3 feet have removable rubber shoes, including stainless steel fixing tips for outdoor use. I've used the tripod several times now with no problems. I'm absolutely satisfied! A small highlight: A small, removable insert shoe is provided for fixing the camera. This can remain permanently installed in the camera's threaded screw connection provided for this purpose. It then only takes a few seconds to set up the camera on the tripod that has already been set up. The camera is already properly fixed, can no longer twist and is ready to take pictures.
