Just what I wanted for landscape and wildlife photography. Very versatile and easy to set up for lots of scenarios. Definitely recommend.

Short of buying into ultra professional equipment, which is a little like overkill, this unit does everything tripod related, and if you buy the complete version, accessories include a small spirit level, so no more wonky horizons or unwanted converging verticals. Might as well get the best shots you can to start with rather than missing around with un-square images in photo software after. Mostly aluminium except for some plastic release catches and rubber feet, so won't get loose and rickety too quickly, like those cheap generic badged tripods. Also comes in a cute carry bag, with adjustable straps. Couldn't fault any of it.

K&F Concept Camera Tripod BI234M, the tripod is worth the 5 stars. 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.

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

The tripod if mounted with all the extension tubes supplied, becomes much higher than declared, losing almost nothing in stability, but only if loaded with something heavy, but for reflexes without heavy lenses or small cameras it is perfect! The single foot that comes off as a monopod is very comfortable. excellent weight/stability compromise, I use it on trekking outings and it doesn't weigh me that much. Finally, I find the hook below the central tube very useful on which to attach the backpack or the weighted tripod case itself in order to act as a counterweight and make everything more stable! Super recommended

I am a big fan of K&F and a large part of the products used in the shoot were from their house. I have to say that the quality of their products is very good. I have bought a few of their tripods, namely the B234A1+BH-28, BA225 and this camera tripod(K234A1+BH-28L), of which this one is the lightest at 2.56 lbs/1.16kg, so you won't feel tired when you're out shooting. I highly recommend it!! The best travel tripod!

This is a great tripod. Lightweight but still feels stable when camera is fastened. Quick and easy to fully extend and get back in the carrying case (which is also decent quality). Overall would recommend for enthusiasts and semi pros. I don't recommend photographers with heavy lens'/big body dslrs'. Great for a lighter set up.You also can connect your phone to the camera tripod via an extra phone mount. Happy shooting!

This is a well-made light-weight tripod with a great ball-head. It doesn't take up too much room or add too much weight when I travel.Based on my experience with the tripod and the absolutely excellent customer service I highly recommend this tripod! And I will be looking at other K&F products for my future needs.

I needed a cheap, light(ish) tripod for a sudden trip as there was a fair amount of walking involved and this seemed to fit the bill nicely.
The head is smooth to pan, easy to adjust and locks tightly with no issues. The plate mount is arca-Swiss compatible so had no issues swapping plates on all my gear which was a bonus.
The legs are quick to deploy and lock up very securely. They’re relatively sturdy for the small cross section.
Some reviews mention that the tripod isn’t very stable and with the centre tube fully extended with a heavy lens/camera I can confirm that there is a definite (although relatively small) amount of wobble. However with smaller MFT gear I had little issues, especially when the tube is dropped lower. Using a guy rope and pegging the tripod down via the sprung hook kept the tripod rock steady in high wind on the side of a very exposed mountain slope.
I’ve not had time to use the tripod for an extended period so I can’t attest to its long term durability but I’m fairly confident it’ll stand up to some reasonable abuse, no doubt time will tell.
Is it as good as my Manfrotto? Of course not, but it’s less than 1/5th the price and 1/3rd of the weight, I’d buy another again should this one ever get stolen.

This can be put into so many different positions that there will never be an angle that we cannot do. Fantastic for low level as well as normal level (so much better than laying on the ground) and it has great extension without loss of stability. Used with a Canon EOS1300D camera.
