K&F Concept 64 inch/161cm Camera Tripod, Compact Aluminum Alloy Travel Tripods with 28mm Metal Ball Head 10KG/22lbs Load Capacity, Detachable Monopod, for SLR DSLR Digital Camera(B234A1+BH-28L)
SKU: KF09.110
This is a high quality tripod. Unlike the cheap very lightweight ones that are mostly plastic, this one is mostly sturdy aluminum and is very strong. The top leg latches give you a wide range of options in terms of angles to set it up, and the extra height from the centre post is also handy. It comes with a nice bag too, however you have to fold it up a bit awkwardly (flip all three legs up 180 degrees) in order for it to fit in the bag with the head attached. This is really the only negative with this tripod, but isn't a big deal for me as I have a bigger bag from an old tripod that broke that I'll be using. The ball head is also nice and high-quality, it moves smoothly and comes with a protective cover so it won't scratch up the other parts of the tripod when you fold it to put it in the bag.

For the price (£44 on offer) I don't think you'll find much better. Everything operates smoothly and securely, it's light, compact and the bag is a nice touch too. It's certainly never going to safely support 10KG as claimed, (more like 3-4KG in my opinion) but then buying a travel tripod to hold 10KG of gear is missing the point entirely. Time will tell if it can stand up to some use but having now purchased several K&F Concept products over the past few years I continue to be impressed by the brand.

Mostly very good, for the price I wouldn't want or expect more. The only real issue I'm having is the ball head, when tightening it can adjust from the desired position which means a bit of tweaking but I expect this is a common issue across all ball heads. Incredibly light and compact, especially compared to my full size Manfrotto. Perfect for shoots on the move such as weddings, I use it predominantly for video- pan/tilt isn't that smooth but again, ball head, so it's great for convenience as I tend to use this set up for static shots.The legs are pretty durable, although I did manage to bend one by jamming it in between some rails while walking with it extended. User error. The rest of it has held up well and I don't think it'll fall short functionally if it's used normally.

A stable, solid camera stand that will get the job done for all photographers. I needed one as I do regular timelapse shooting outside, and this camera stand was exactly what I was looking for. The build is robust yet light and fairly portable too. It has a good extension length without losing the stability even in fairly windy conditions. The camera stand can be used for not only DSLRs but on almost all other cameras. When you are not using this as a camera stand, you can also mount your projector at home to have it as a projector stand which is fantastic.

This tripod is really steady and qualitative. Is easy to connect. Is light weight and comfortable to carry . I use it mostly for my professional camera but I find it very useful that it can be connecte taller than me which is fantastic for panorama pictures.

I have just seen a video on a new Peak Design travel tripod. A beautiful thing which costs $300... Yes $300!!!This K&F Concept design costs 6x less and fulfils all the needs. It is well made, easy to operat, has great stability and doesnt cost an earth.I used it few times already and I am particularly impressed bu the ball head. Typically I would expect to pay £30-40 for ball head of this quality.Overall so far I am very happy.

Very robust feeling tripod for something of this price point. Perfectly weighted for all round use. Easy fit back into case. Good quality overall feel and finish. Would recommend!
