This carbon fiber, adjustable tripod is super awesome. High quality construction and materials. Has great pan and tilt for taking quality pictures and videos.So far this has done everything that I needed it to do. Low enough for pet photo shoots and high enough for people. Anything really. This will be especially helpful for content creators. It’s sturdy and does not rock like some tripods. It’s stable. It was compatible with all our different cameras. No problems at all. This also has a sleek looking design that is gorgeous. Would suggest reading the full description for specialty items and exact measurements but we have had no problem. Great and high quality with a reasonable price. Ready to use right out of box. Overall, we’re giving this super helpful tripod

Unlike most carbon fiber tripod in this price range, this tripod comes with an actual video head and not the usual ball head photography head.
Everything comes in a really nice case. It is a soft padded bag that is certainly better than other tripods in this price range.
To sum up I guess I would say there is nothing here that will blow you away. Everything is solid and seems to have avoided the pitfalls of other tripods in this price range. Just a good tripod with a video head that should last you at least a few years depending on how rough you are with your tripods.

I'm glad that I have chosen kf concept.
First of all, the legs are carbon fiber, which is more expensive than aluminum. The parts and components are well-machined, and I don't see any defects in the manufacturing process. Everything fits together well, moves smoothly, and is rock solid when tightened.
When you need a tripod in this height and size range, you can count on this one to do the job for you, take a beating, and last a long time. A nice cinch bag is included.

I personally prefer twist locks for the tripod legs, although this is definitely a matter of personal preference. The legs can also be extended outwards using the quick release buckle for an even lower height. This can be especially helpful when trying to achieve a lower angle of view for artistic reasons, e.g. B. when focusing on the foreground.

Foreword:
Hello friends, I have been involved in photography for about 2 years and this has also become my everyday hobby. That's why I wanted to improve my existing equipment. At the beginning I had a tripod for 20€ and gained my initial experience with it. Like many of you, I also wanted more possibilities and more comfort in photography. Now I would like to describe my experiences and the differences to a 20€ tripod for beginners. So you can get your own idea of whether a more expensive tripod is worth it for you.
Quality and differences to cheap tripods:
After the product arrived I noticed the first difference, the material of the bag was a bit thicker and of higher quality. After I unpacked the tripod, I assessed the workmanship and how much play the tripod had. I have absolutely nothing to complain about the processing of the metals and this is at a very high level. A few plastic elements show that not everything is perfectly processed. Compared to my cheap tripod, the legs can be unfolded individually, which in my opinion gives me many more options. The ball head can also be adjusted much easier, more specifically and, above all, more comfortably than on my cheap one. Here I have to adjust 2 axes separately with the lever, which gets a bit annoying in the long run. However, what fascinated me the most was the possibility to turn the tripod around and get very close to the ground. These possibilities are usually not offered with cheap tripods. So I can finally take calm macro shots and take pictures from completely new perspectives. In addition, the pack dimensions were decisive for my purchase because I would like to use them when traveling. The attachment that is screwed into the camera has a very good rubber coating with a profile so that the camera does not turn out by itself even if it is rotated 90° on the tripod and is equipped with a large lens (some of you will probably know this). ). Due to the compact size, K&F has also come up with a solution for windy days, because this tripod is equipped with a hook at the lower end of the neck, to which you can attach your bag or the like. Overall, I see many advantages in this tripod compared to the tripods in the lowest price range:
+ Individually fold-out legs = More options
+ Ball head for more comfortable adjustment
+ Small pack size and light
+ Overall very stable even with the neck extended
+ New perspectives possible by rotating the neck by 180°
+ Well thought-out and convincing design
