If you want function, lightweight, and ease of use, then this tripod is it. I have it attached to my photography backpack and you hardly feel it. In terms of stability, I love the built in leveler, the easy to use leg latch system, and the lightweight legs. It sits incredibly stable on multi-terrain. I like how K&F also includes a carrying pouch which keeps the tripod protected. The mount is easy to take off and the head motion is super smooth when needing to pan. There's nothing to complain about this tripod, it's that good.

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.

Ordered this tripod for... this. Primarily, Vine reviews, but also for casual photography whims. In the past, I've tried to take photographs of products where holding the phone steady was awkward or difficult. A desktop tripod may have been more suitable for some cases, but this works well standing it adjacent to the desk with the ball head slotted so that the phone's lens can be aimed at the desk's surface.

Not being a professional photographer, the finer points will certainly be missed. However, on durability, professional experience is not necessary here to realize the limits of plastic components. Notably, the socket that the ball head fits into at the top of the of the tripod and the joints connecting the vertical shaft to the three legs are likely failure points when the plastic has aged. For my usage, I expect to keep this cool and out of the sun, so I'm not terribly worried about the durability aside from occasional bumps while moving the tripod. Certainly, if I had needs for a tripod to take on long trips where I had little control over the environment, I would be inclined to pay more for something that I felt offered greater durability.

At the price point, the critical plastic parts should not be terribly surprising, but deserve mentioning. It's one of the few, arguable, faults that can be found with casual observation. It is versatile and I believe the product description to be accurate regarding its feature set. That is, every knob, screw, extension, or latch on the tripod behaves as I would expect them to. The only feature that seems to come up short is the integrated circular level on the head. It does not appear to be accurate enough to offer substantial guidance. However, this is a conclusion formed without rigorous testing and measurements.

A review might be incomplete without some applaud for the panoramic motion offered on the head of the tripod. It is exceptionally smooth, and feels luxurious. For a budget market solution, I'm not sure that it would be expected of a tripod.

With some certainty, this appears to be a great product for anyone that wants explore photography without making a substantial investment or just happens to need some tripod for some brief period.

The K&F Concept 70 inch Camera Tripod is a perfect blend of sturdiness and portability. It's incredibly light, making it ideal for travel, and the included bag is a nice touch for easy carrying. The tripod offers superior stability with its four-section legs and anti-slip foot pads, even in windy conditions. The 360-degree ball head and smooth panoramic shots add to its versatility. The tripod is also compatible with various devices, including smartphones, thanks to the included phone holder. Highly recommend for photographers on the go!

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.

I like how tall this expands considering how compact it is when folded. The reverse mounting center column and head is a great feature. This should fit in most people's luggage so a good choice for travelers. I was surprised to find there is more plastic than I norally see on good tripods, including a plastic quick release plate. The plastic dies seem very strong, so perhaps it will be fine, and potentially could grip more than the metal style if they lack rubber grip material. I was fighting a metal quick release plate twusting on my metal camera body this week, so even though the plastic first struck me as a cost cutting disadvantage, as long as this lasts over years, then it might not negatively affect functionality.

Better than expected, mounted a relatively heavy spotting scope on it and no issues. Will be getting a geared head for it though. Looks like the same company makes a decent one of those as well... If the tripod is any indication it should work well.

It's all metal and feels strong. Built to last. Every part extends easily and the locks work great! Ball head feels nice. This is for a DSLR size type camera set up. using it for a SONY FX3

I wish K&F would stick with the angular adjustment knob rather than this circular one, which feels much worse to turn. But it does a great job of holding steady when I have my camera + cage + field monitor + microphone + video light on top, so I can't complaint for its ability to punch above its weight class. Speaking of which, it's fairly light weight but does an excellent job of holding steady. One of my favorite features on this tripod is its ability to extend twice from the center pole, which makes it much much easier for me to maneuver around my relatively tight work space while still getting the angle that I need without needing to extend the legs. 5/5

This K&F Concept 70 inch/178cm Camera Tripod is better than I expected. It is nice and compact and can easily take a long during travel. It is built nicely and feels and appears to be well-made and a great quality. It is adjustable so that’s great. Very functional and does well when we go camping and vlogging.
