K F CONCEPT 73 Aluminum Compact Camera Tripod Portable Travel Tripod Compatible with iPhone 22 lbs Capacity Arca

I make YouTube videos as a hobby and got this K+F Concept 73 inch aluminum camera tripod as a second tripod for multi camera shots (mostly static “talking head” shots), but after using it I ended up making it my main tripod for my mirrorless camera because it feels clearly better than my cheaper K+F “basics” tripod that is half the cost of this. This tripod is heavier and more solid while still being easy to move around. The pros are that it is super easy to set up and break down, the center column makes height changes quick without moving the legs, the ball head is smooth and convenient, the Arca style clamp works with many plates, it supports up to 22 lbs, so it fits the teleprompter great, it packs small, and works with cameras and phones. For my specific use, I have no cons to it. I imagine you may have a different opinion if you needed it for other tasks. The construction is aluminum with a solid and durable feel, a 40 mm ball head with smooth movement, a center column that can be reversed for low shots like unboxing, a hook for extra weight, decent overall fit and finish, and parts that feel reliable for regular use. Overall, this tripod offers good value for the price, performs well for video and photography, and I would recommend it if you want a simple, portable, and capable tripod for hobby filming.

I was looking for a portable, lightweight, but sturdy tripod for a small refractor telescope. I sometimes have to carry my gear some distance, so portability was a must, but a steady mount is imperative for a telescope. This tripod fits the task in both regards and has some features I really like. Most noticeable to me was the lack of a central spreader brace. Instead, each leg has a click lock at the hinge. It works very well. It's very solid and also allows you to make a very short, very wide table tripod. I don't miss the spreader at all, as the legs are very stiff and well-made. There is also no handle; just loosen the friction lock and adjust the ball mount as desired. The head moves very smoothly, and I like it. Removing the camera mounting plate requires undoing a thumbscrew, so it's not really a quick plate, but it's not bad. Overall, a very solid portable tripod. Read more

I love this K&F CONCEPT 73″ tripod. It’s lightweight yet extremely durable, and easy to adjust whether you’re shooting high angles or low to the ground. The build quality feels solid and stable even when extended all the way up, and it handles my gear confidently without wobbling. The Arca-Swiss ball head is smooth and intuitive to use — makes composing shots quick and easy. I also appreciate that it’s compatible with my iPhone and DSLR, so I can switch between devices without hassle. Whether I’m shooting landscapes, portraits, or just setting up for a stable video clip, this tripod always meets my needs. Highly recommend if you want a reliable travel or everyday tripod that doesn’t weigh you down! Read more

This takes me back to old Slik tripods whose legs did not have cross-braces. While not the most stable tripods that exist, they are exceptionally easy to set up and break down without pinching your fingers in a folding mechanism. The K&F version improves on it in a couple of ways: - The Arca clamp is useful and compatible with tons of plates - The real ball head is more fun than a video-style handle The one design choice I do not like is common to a lot of K&F tripods, and it is the self-leveling feet. You really need spikes for outdoors, and the self-leveling nature of feet is kind of pointless with a tripod, since three legs form a perfect plane on any surface. Rounded feet would have sufficed here. All in all, it's a solid value. Read more

This compact tripod has a great build quality for the price. It is lightweight and compact and still expandable to 73" tall. That's incredible range! It is very easy to setup and comes with a DSLR camera mount as well as a phone mount, which can be oriented vertical or horizontal, as you can see in my example pic. It has great stability for being light aluminum build. No complaints. Read more

How can you go wrong with this company ? Whatever I have from K&F is above average. Same goes for this Tripod. I am just sorry they don't make high end carbon tripods for my height. This one is tall. I am 6ft 6 and it fits me perfect. Read more
