67"/2.92lbs Carbon Fiber Camera Video Tripod With Monopod & Phone Mount for SLR DSLR 22lbs Load - D255C4+BH-28L (SA255C1)
SKU: KF09.093V1
I could not spend a ton of money for a tripod, but I wanted something that would hold up and that was fairly lite. So far this has fit the bill really nice. It is lite and sturdy when I am doing my landscape photography. It is easy to use and packs up nice and small for attaching to my Mindshift Photocross 10 sling bag. For someone on a budget that can't spend $200+ on a tripod, this will do the trick very well.

Well-built and far less money than so-called name brands … although K&F is becoming a name brand itself. I have never been disappointed with any bearing the K&F name. Recommend.

Very nice super light carbon tripod for a great price. Everything works as it should and is a bargain at $150. Just don’t expect it to be super secure in high wind. The additional Arca cell phone clamp has saved the day a couple times. I’m super happy with my purchase.

I'm really happy with this K&F tripod. I use their lenses and they make great products. This tripod uses metal joints and locking points. It folds up into a small, lightweight package and is very portable. I like the look with the dark carbon fiber with bright orange accents. I think it's very good value for money and compares to many high end tripods in terms of features and quality materials. I'm happy with my purchase and it's a huge improvement over my previous tripod.

I am a professional architectural and interior photographer and also do videography. I was looking for a lightweight but stable and sturdy tripod (because my equipment can be heavy, ie tilt and telephoto lenses, and expensive). This K&F tripod ticked all the boxes and the price is spot on.
This tripod has an excellent quick release system, which is important to me, especially when moving from location to location during the critical lighting window for outdoor shots.
The height of the tripod is impressive and it can be extended with an option to attach additional weight to the center of gravity to make it even safer.
Personally, I prefer twist locks for tripod legs, although that's definitely a matter of personal preference. The legs can also be extended outwards using the quick release clip to have an even lower height. This can be particularly useful when trying to achieve a lower vantage point for artistic reasons, such as when focusing on the foreground.
Highly recommend as a studio or outdoor tripod or even for events and travel! Carbon fiber tripods are ideal for travel.

Great in general - However the head bolt is stuck in to the head and not the tripod so mounting another head is out of the question without obtaining a secondary bolt.

I bought the carbon tripod because I finally wanted a ball head :-). The tripod is incredibly light and remains very stable. The screw caps can be easily opened and then securely fastened again. The camera sits perfectly on the ball joint and is then super adjustable. The fixing screws are easy to move and yet very easy to fix.
When the camera is attached to the ball head mount with the plate, the spirit level is on the side of the screen, where it suits me. BUT the wheel to fix the plate is then on the side of the lens. With my Sigma, however, the rotary knob is almost on the lens. There are only tenths to hundredths between the rotary knob and the lens.
Otherwise the tripod is a recommendation:
- Weight
- stability
- size
- flexibility
- rapid deployment

Checked all my boxes and did not disappoint me. I am happy I spent a little more to get this unit.

I am very satisfied with the K&F Concept 172 cm carbon tripod. It convinces in all its aspects. Even the travel bag is a very high quality and durable material. The fabric can even be cleaned with a damp cloth to remove dirt.
The tripod itself is ultra-compact and super lightweight. The tripod legs fold up completely so they reduce to a minimum overall length for storage and transport.
On the other hand, the telescopic elements can be extended to an incredible height of over 1.70 m.
The stand is very stable and can be adjusted accordingly on all three legs. The orientation of the tripod in the scales can be easily seen via an integrated display.
The ball joint proves to be extremely practical and is easily adjustable and stable in place.
The quick release plates are excellent. Whether for a camera or a high-quality smartphone. The tripod is well suited to both and ready to use in no time.
The tripod is excellent in price and performance and worth every penny.
