K&F Concept 67 inch Camera Tripod Horizontal Aluminum Tripods Portable Monopod with 32mm Ball Head 12KG Load Capacity Quick Release Plate, for Travel and Work T255A4+BH-32L(Red)

I've had a few different tripods over the years at different price points but this is by far the best!

Being a wedding and lifestyle photographer I use it in so many different settings and it doesn't fail! Each leg is individually adjustable meaning no matter the terrain you can make it level and sturdy.

I love that all the connectors move so smoothly and the whole kit is incredibly robust and yet very lightweight. It all folds up neatly into the one bag/case that I've shown in the photos.

The top arm can extend to a 90 degree angle which is brilliant for taking photos of flat lays etc without the legs of the tripod being in shot.

Another little extra that I like is a small spirit level on the top connector just so you can make sure everything is level before you attach your camera.

The tripod has a wieght hook underneath for added sturdiness in extreme conditions and one of the legs also detaches to become a monopod!

Overall this tripod is an excellent bit of kit and I have been very impressed with every aspect of it especially at under £100!

So if you're looking for a reliable and versatile tripod this is the one for you!

The tripod is compact and lightweight. The mount is plastic which is a shame it would have been nice to have a metal one.

The camera movement is nice and smooth and it has a lot of position. The legs are strong and sturdy. It needs a counterweight when using the overhead and the hook for one isn't the best.

Pros
Nice build quality
easy to adust lefts and head.
smooth glide.
light-weight

Cons
plastic camera mount
tips easy when using the overhead.

Overall a nice tripod with a few bits that could be improved to make it prefect.

K& F concept aluminium tripod with 180 degree tiltover camera head

Summery: Lightweight, sturdy, the tiltover head gives a special feature I wanted.

I own quite a few tripods and camera mounts because I have so many cameras so this one joins my collection for a special reason which I will explain in a short while.

The model is KF-TM2515T

It has 4 part telescopic legs that extend to a give a maximum tripod height of 6o inches, the legs can be used in 3 different angle positions which is adjusted using the red button at the top of each leg, there is no central connector so each leg angle can be set individually.

The centre column is in 2 parts, the outer part can be height adjusted while the second section can not only be extended vertically but it can also be tilted over 180 degrees, it was this feature that made me decide to add this to my collection, more on that in a while.
As with a lot of tripods you can invert the centre column to allow low level and macro shooting, but the tillable section adds a little extension to give a different view than one bound to the centre, you can even make an ad-hoc slider shot by slowly moving the bar along the centre column.

The tripod head is a standard 3/8 thread panning ball-head type that are found on many of my tripods, I like ball-heads for my smaller cameras. It has an Arca-Swiss type quick release clamp with a bubble for camera levelling.

The tripod is lightweight, strong, it folds down pretty small and comes with a strong looking zipped case with straps so for general purpose use it is great, with the added tilt feature to give some extra creative assistance.

Now the reason I bought this particular tripod…..I need to be able to mount 2 cameras on one tripod properly, and this tripod helps me do just that with a little bit of extra kit.
The end of the centre bar has a small plastic cap screwed into it, when taken away a 3/8 thread is revealed, most of my tripod centre column have this, it is usually there to hold the sandbag hook screw. So by using a short 3/8 inch threaded bar and an extra ball-head I can make a double tripod. Fantastic and very useful to save space when shooting.

One leg can also be removed and used with the centre column as a monopod but I already have monopods so I will not be using that feature with this tripod.

As a large proportion of my photography is automotive I was looking for a tripod which as well as allowing the standard style of shots would allow extremely low down angles.

Previously my low down shots have been band held however as I’m experimenting more with night photography I needed the ability to restrain the camera as low as possible angled up and with long exposures this needed to be sturdy.

After looking at a lot of different Tripods I settled on the K&F as the pure versatility appeared to be more than many tripods at triple the price. I was pleasantly surprised upon just how flexible the tripod is, and if you’re prepared to think even further outside the box I was able to mount the camera upside down allowing it to be just millimetres above the ground for the best possible angle.

With the ability to control every aspect of the tripod gives greater flexibility, the ball head and ability to mount the column horizontal or vertically gives a lot of control. I was skeptic all about how far the camera can over hang but providing the camera body is within the limits of the legs your find, and with the ability to hang you kit bag underneath for extra stability I can’t see have any trouble with that aspect. I’ve yet to try the mono-pod mode but imagine that will come in handy in tight places and the fact I’ll always have it with me as it’s part of the tripod is great.

I was really pleased with the included carry case which also includes a strap, a real bonus as my camera bag is messenger style and doesn’t accommodate a tripod so I can just throw it over my shoulder.

This is my first K&F product but will be sure to consider their other products as I grow my accessory collection.

I’ve included a few photos of how I’ve managed to set up the camera on the tripod.
