90 inch /2.3m Camera Tripods magnesium aluminum alloy tripod Reversible Detachable Monopod Plate Lock Transverse Center Column horizontal 360 ° panoramic BH-28L head (orange)

It is a multifunctional tripod, which is pretty leightweight, but steady at the same time.

First of all: it’s big and quite heavy. But that gives a nice stability. Previously I was using Manfrotto Befree tripod, but I need something for overhead photos and videos. And this one is perfectly fine for that.
Can support a Sony a7 IV with a SmallRig base plate without a problem (see the pictures). I wasn’t so sure, but it would need another 0.5-1kg to be out of balance. Buy then you can put something on the hook under the central column or shorten the arm with a camera.

For the price - it’s great!

This tripod offers versatile shooting options with a transverse center column for panorama shots, convenient height adjustments from 22.4'' to 73'', and a detachable monopod feature. The 360° ball head allows for flexible angles, and its portability, weighing 4.12lbs and folding to 16.93'', makes it a practical choice for photographers on the go. The quick-release flip-locks and three-level leg adjustments enhance ease of use. With a maximum load capacity of 22.04lbs, it strikes a balance between sturdiness and portability.

The tripod is very sturdy and all of the parts are machined very well. The tripod holds the camera that I'm using securely and it's a full frame Nikon D750 so it's heavy and the tripod has no trouble at all. The seller I ordered from on Amazon provided super quick service as well. The packing the tripod arrived is was great and the tripod was inside the included carry bag and it's super heavy duty. The zippers on the bag are like "industrial"!!! Awesome!!

This is a very adjustable tripod.

It says 72 inches, but if I extend the top rod, I can get shots that are above my head. It's not designed to be used this way, as that's supposed to bend to the side for 90 degree shots, but it's great to know that if I need just a little bit more, this one will work.

The 90 degree angle is great for getting straight down shots, or for shots right next to the ground.

All of the locks hold well, and the ball head is very smooth, so I can use it for pan and tilt shots.

It's fairly sturdy. I've used tripods that are stronger, but I've definitely used ones that were weaker. There's a little bit of wobble in the legs when they're fully extended. I wouldn't try to shoot dark shots in the wind without a good sandbag on the hook.

I prefer flip leg locks, so I was happy to see that this one had them. Unfortunately these ones feel cheap. They work great, but they don't feel particularly durable. It's strange, because everything else on this tripod feels top rate. None of the leg locks have failed, they just don't exude confidence.

It folds up into a nice package, and the carrying bag is made out of a strong material. It's lightweight, so it's easy to carry around. This is an ideal tripod for if I'm going on a hike, and are not sure what type of angle I'm going to need. Because it's so adaptable, I can get any shot I want, and I'm not really going to have to heave it around.

Overall a great tripod.

Highly recommended.

The tripod looks and feels good quality and is stable, the marerial is good, I need to take it to the field to try it in everyday use, I like how multifunctional it is and the design is very good, the only thing I see weak are the safety hinges of the leg extensions are made of paste and gives the feeling that they can split or break, try let's see how much they resist.

I'm no professional photographer, but I am one that loves photography and have dabbled in it for over 35 years. As a matter of fact, at 16 years old, I spent about $120 on a very heavy duty Bogen tripod. I still have it, and it still works excellent, but I swear it weighs 40 lbs. It also doesn't collapse quickly and easily and I just don't bring it out very often.

In the ensuing years, and there's a lot of them, I have owned around half a dozen additional tripods. I have mid-level tripods I have purchased that are about the same price as this K&F, as well as some cheapos that I regret.

For me, I like having the ability to do everything with the tripod from holding a webcam, to holding a lightweight action camera, to holding my current camera which is a Nikon D 5600. I own 5 Nikon lenses now, and a couple of them are pretty heavy, much heavier than the camera itself.

I'm giving you that background to let you know that nothing I have used outside of the original Bogen tripod I referenced earlier has been as stout and versatile as this tripod. For me, this is the real deal. This is something I plan to use for all of my excursions with my SLR hopefully for many years to come. So far, it is proving to be reliable although my use of it has been limited due to the pandemic and the fact that I am not traveling much for work (I enjoyed taking photos during my work trips as one of my primary ways of staying creative and exploring my photography).

Even though all of the photos I have uploaded our brand new of the tripod out of the box, it has now seen a fair bit of use around my property and a handful of other places including in the middle of a stream and on some uneven ground on a mountainside near my home. One of the things I really look forward to doing next spring is macro photography of flowers (and insects! See attached photos I took with this tripod in my Nikon late in the summer in my yard) with the awesome arm extension this tripod gives you.

Unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to use this tripod in as many scenarios as I would like, but I will say that it is in a class entirely of its own when it comes to tripods costing approximately the same amount of money (IMO). In comparison to anything I have seen in the same price range I think this should without question be in your top two or three to consider. There's obviously a lot of research and development that has gone into this tripod to make it a quality, long-lasting product.

As to any negatives, I will report that the only concern I have is how long the quick release leg extensions will last. On two cheaper tripods I have used extensively in the past those have been the first thing to go. Because, well, I actually use them. I enjoy taking tripods with me when I backpack - and on a 3-day backpacking trip, the legs will be extended and then collapsed probably three or four dozen times if not more. It just seems like these quick-release type plastic tension devices wear down and can break easily. I don't know if others have had experience with this sort of thing similar to me, but I'm hoping I can treat this right... so it lasts!

Highly recommended and worth considering even if you are an amateur or semi professional photographer and need either a primary tripod or a backup for travel.

This is my first tripod so I don't have anything to compare. But right out of the box I could feel the quality in the material, the tripod not giving out this wiggly feeling but rather strong. I wants a tripod to scan my film so I would love if it can rotate around in various angle, and this one did just that. The tripod is quite heavy to me, so this definitely probably be staying at home, I may try to hike with it. If I did, I will definitely update you guys

I am a former television director and have enjoyed astrophotography for several decades. I've been using a Bogen Manfrotto 3051 professional tripod with a 3063 head. I've used many professional tripods in my career.

I ordered this K&F Concept 72 Inch Camera Tripod as my 3051 is quite heavy to pack into remote locations to do my astrophotography. This smaller and lighter tripod wants very much to be perfect but stops just a few very minor features short. That said, it does have several features not found in my 3051 that I'm liking very much. With that in mind, here are my pros and cons:

PROS:

• It is Lightweight. I don't mind attaching this tripod to my backpack and hiking it into location. This is one of the major selling points for me.
• A very compact yet sturdy design (seem my comparison photo of this tripod next to my 3051).
• Easy deployment of the multi-angle legs makes short work of getting set up.
• Mostly solid aluminum construction (where it counts).
• Comes with a very nice and durable carrying bag with strap. This will keep dust, dirt, and a few raindrops from getting into the tripod.
• It is a solid platform for shooting astrophotography, which requires that there be no instability. I usually don't extend the third, smallest section of the legs when shooting the night sky.
• It is both a monopod and tripod in one. This is a very desirable feature for me. I have a Bogen Manfrotto monopod too but with this tripod, I don't have to drag both around.
• The center column can be added to the monopod to extend the height.
• The center column can be inverted for doing macro photography.
• The ball lock knob, when loosened, allows the center column to telescope to twice its original length. This allows you to get the camera well overhead.
• It allows for landscape and portrait orientation when shooting.
• The ball head makes for very quick changes in orientation. While I don't do many many orientation changes, I think it would be ideal for a wedding or landscape photographer.
• The ball head has a separate knob to lock the head in the panning axis.
• The ball head has a single cutout that allows you to position the camera 90° from horizontal.
• The pan adjustment is calibrated in degrees. This is especially nice for shooting astrophotography because I often orient by degrees from the North. The degree tick marks properly orient along the horizon plane (45° = East, 315° = West). I always set up with the zero tick facing geographic North.
• The central column rotates 360 degrees and provides a stable plane for taking panoramic shots. It also doubles as a handlebar.
• It has a counter-weight hook - a feature usually found only in high-end tripods.
• Most adjustment and lock knobs are metal where it is needed.
• Articulation of the ball head and other moving parts of the tripod is smooth.
• It supports the weight of my camera, which has a heavy battery pack.
• The camera plate adjusts forward and backward to balance the camera.
• The orange and black color scheme looks professional.

CONS:

• The camera plate needs to be a bit larger and provide a better tightening arrangement.
• The leg flip locks are plastic. I see this as a potential failure point for the tripod. I hope the manufacturer sells replacements in case I drop the tripod on a rock and bust a flip lock.
• The monopod lacks a quick vertical adjustment trigger. In some shooting scenarios, I would want one.
• The camera plate needs a lock pin for use with video cameras to avoid loosening of the plate after numerous pans.

Parting thoughts... I enjoy using this tripod and will be using it for most of my astrophotography (and other photography) in the future. It is lightweight, sturdy, and solid. The cons weren't such detractors that would cause me to take any stars off of my final five-star rating. If you want a very nice prosumer tripod, don't hesitate to buy this one.

K&F comes out of NOWHERE for the great quality products! I have enjoyed their ND filters, and now this tripod - I own several that are twice the price that don't feel or look as nice as this one.
It's TALL - fully extended, it's at 75"...since I'm over 6'3" tall, this is a good thing!
The ball head is very fluid and easily adjustable - this is important to me due to real estate photography needing lots of adjustments!
Not the LIGHTEST tripod, but this is a good thing too - it feels very solid, but light enough that I won't hate lugging it around all day!
Hook for a sandbag, vertical shooting configuration, you can even remove a leg to use as a monopod - awesome!
