K F Concept 60 inch Carbon Fiber Camera Tripod Super Lightweight Compact Travel Tripod with 360 Degree Ball

Purchased this for an upcoming trip to Canada. It was pressed into duty for a close friend of my wife as I needed to be the photographer for her wedding and then off to Canada. Pros: Lightweight and comes with its own bag. One leg screws off and the main shaft screws on top to make a mono pod. The head is pretty sturdy and the ball allows for virtually unlimited adjustments. The bubble level is a plus. The legs "splay" out for great low level shooting. Used it with a Nikon Coolpix and it was very sturdy, in particular in the wind. It just needed to be oriented correctly. Adjusts easily. Camera can be used upside down as the main shaft comes out and can be inserted in an inverted manner. Cons: There are a lot of extensions on the legs, so be prepared. There are two height adjustments on the main shaft. One that is at the tripod, and the other is at the top of the shaft. Not a bad thing if you discover it...LOL... Not sure how much abuse this one will absorb so pack it carefully for a rugged trip or pack out. I packed mine in my hardside suitcase. IMHO, this one is a winner for the casual photographer.

I highly recommend this. great build quality! easy to used. Low and High height! great price! and very light to carry it around. I should of bought this sooner! Great on my Nikon Z7II Read more

This tripod is much easier to carry, and is plenty rigid for my various cameras -- Fuji X-T5, Sony RX-10, etc. The Arca-Swiss mount is exactly what i need, plus I really like the carry bag. Good value, excellent build quality. Happy camper! Read more

The build quality of this tripod is pretty good overall, especially for carbon fiber. The ball head and QR plate are solid. The tripod is super adjustable with some really great features. I love the compact design of it fully folded and it’s nice and light—really great for packing. The one negative for me was the fact it was a bit wobbly fully extended to its full height. I have a Canon 5D Mark III and when I had the center post all the way up and all of the legs fully extended, I found it was a bit wobbly and that’s just with a 40mm pancake lens and flash unit on the camera. The problem for me, as I saw it, were the final sections of the legs, which were also the thinnest sections. They tended to be slightly ’flexy’ with the center post all the way up. That concerns me when I will need to take full-length photos of some of the taller people I’ll need to photograph. At 60” (5 feet), the tripod feels good and stable; it’s that extra 7” extended that changes things. So many things to like about this tripod, but I don’t think I can use it for my regular work projects. Read more

Had an event to go to and couldn't find my carbon tripod. So what does one do when they have Amazon Prime? Of course, nothing except shop for a replacement. I ordered this tripod and was good to go. It was of good quality, the right height (adjustable) and the legs sections were easy and smooth to move. The carrying bag kept it all together for carrying. I recommend this tripod. Read more

Very lightweight and durable. Other tripods click when you adjust the legs. This one is super quiet. Read more

I tried this 60" carbon fiber tripod mainly for two reasons: I had tried and been happy with other K&F Concept products and I wanted a new hiking/backpacking tripod. I was a bit hesitant to start since these are priced competitively compared to other name-brand tripods I've had in the past so I wondered about value. But I have to say that I am totally pleased-even thrilled- with this purchase! The K&F is obviously a very good product; well built with quality material, tight tolerances and attractively designed and finished. From the functioning of the head down to the operation of the legs, it simply works well...VERY well. While I got this to throw on a backpack for the occasional hike and landscape shoot, with the stability and strength of this "little" tripod, I have used it for studio work as well. Even the included bag is well made and just right. K&F Concept is definitely more than ready and able to compete with the better known big boys and-in my book-it will win. I've been doing personal and professional photography for a few decades. K&F Concept is my new go-to brand for the products they offer. Read more
