Recently I was looking for a normal, cheap yet well-built tripod so that I could take nice pictures outdoors with my smartphone camera. But what I experienced with this made my jaw drop. First of all: I already have experience with tripods, both professional ones from Canon and conventional ones. But this one surpassed anything I had ever seen before. When I unpacked the product I found a carrying case that was pleasantly well made for the price and contained the packaged tripod.

The quality is surprisingly good. The tripod is stable and the quick clamps were convincing in the first tests. The head is good, although it is obviously not a professional device. The plate can be rotated 90 degrees (not visible in the photos), making it also suitable for video.

I had to upgrade tripod because of heavy lens just purchased tamron 150 600 and I'm impressed. Its plenty tall and the ball head is nice.had a worry from other reviews that it's hard to tighten to stabilize the weight but I have no issues at all.for the price it works well and no issues at all. I've had it for a few weeks now and was disappointed how the legs would slide on hard surfaces, after trying to remove the metal points on leg bottoms I discovered turning the rubber feet all the way out will conceal the metal points.if outdoors in grass or dirt just screw the rubber back out to expose the points ,now I'm happy again.

I have gone through dozens of tripods. Using it for both work and photography hobby, this is one of the best tripods I’ve ever had. Works great, lightweight and the carry case is very nice.

K&F Concept Camera Tripod K234A7 + BH-28L + Extension Arm Kits I uploaded only 1 of the 2 videos and I preferred the second where I explain how and where to insert the various pieces since the manufacturer attaches a lean manual as shown in the photo. assemble the parts by looking at the various presentation photos, it would be 4 stars for this particular but the tripod is worth the 5 stars. The short rod supplied is 30 cm long while the closed stand reaches 50 cm. How I use the tripod is very simple to use and other measures and opinions on how well it works can be found in the various reviews, I just say that I use it with Tamron 150/600 G2 on Nikon D7200 and Celestron Ultima 80 spotting scope both on head ball supplied and on Gimbal to replace it but only on smooth tripod without the extension rod that I have not tried. Relatively light weight excellent transport bag with reflective insert and shoulder strap with padded shoulder strap. Head equipped with attachment for anything and is of the Arca-Swiss compatible type.

Use this as a webcam tripod for my DSLR. Minimum height may be a bit tall but it does allow you to flip the mount orientation and have a more grounded vantage point

I'd give this a five star but for the ball head. It doesn't lock well with a spotting scope or a heavy lens and camera body on it. I ended up buying a Neewer pan/tilt head, which fortunately fits the K&F tripod well. Other than that, it is a decent piece of equipment. Just keep in mind, it is a travel tripod, and won't give you a solid mount impervious to wiggling from wind or hand adjustments. For that, I continue to look for that elusive affordable tripod.

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 have had several tripods in my life time, but none quiet like the K&F Concepts 78 inch tripod with the 360 Degree Ball Head. After reading the enclosed paperwork (1 small sheet of paper) I went onto YouTube and watched some vids on the tripod. Even the Ken Franks website was very informative also.
So far I have not found any "cons" on the tripod. I have taken photos in every position you can imagine, I even tried the "hanging the camera" upside down and got some great close ups of ants, bugs, spiders and yes even grass.
Living in the South at this particular time outdoor shooting is based on the weather. I cant wait to get out and do some landscapes and see the results.
If you are looking for a tripod for you camera that is of outstanding quality without breaking the bank, I highly recommend this tripod. I got the 78 inch version due to being 6 foot 3 inches.
Ken does have other styles and heights. Check them out. You won't go wrong!
