I declare that I was initially very skeptical about the characteristics of this object, but as soon as I was able to collect it, I immediately realized that it was a quality product. Let's start with the weight, a feature that many underestimate but that offers great stability, just like in this case. 1.5 kg of aluminum which will help you shoot much sharper. Absolutely practical to transport thanks to the bag in which it is contained and above all thanks to its small size: 40 cm when closed which allowed me to store it safely in hand luggage. At its maximum extension it measures 150cm and thanks to the excellent leg locking systems it will be extremely stable. The ball joint is very smooth and the camera can be rotated very easily. The well-designed screw mount, structured to firmly hold the camera on the tripod. Ability to take wonderful panoramic photos thanks to a small wheel which, if unscrewed, allows you to slowly and absolutely steadily rotate the camera. A small highlight of this tripod is the possibility, thanks to an supplied Allen key, to unscrew a tripod leg to use it as a monopod.

Having spend a fair amount hiking and exploring, I was looking in the market for a lighter weight tripod (i had full-size alloy one ). I find this carbon fiber tripod affordable to buy within my budget. It is Very Light (1005 grams - Verified) so definitely helps for long hiking trips.
All three legs are carbon material which can be adjusted into multiple heights using 4 circular locks on each leg. Each circular lock tightens a leg in clockwise rotation for a particular height and releases the legs to expand in anti-clock rotation. The camera mounts on a plastic made base along with bubble level to align the camera straight. So far I have used this tripod on hiking trip only once and my camera sits without any wiggle on the plastic mount with kit lens, prime lens and telephoto zoom lens.
Each leg has 2 indexing positions which works well for me. My previous tripod had 3 index positions and to be honest, I never really used the middle one so it's not a huge loss for me. The legs extend with a twist-lock mechanism and slides and locks very smoothly, noticeably more smooth than my previous one. I do have a 70-200mm lens and feel I have to be a bit more careful when getting my shots set up because this tripod has a narrower stance than my previous one and with my lens mounted at full extension is a little less stable than I'd like. BUT, given my intended use and how compact and light weight this tripod is, I am very, very satisfied with it.

This is a superbly lightweight and awesomely built tripod, I tried mine as soon as it arrived, k&f really do make some of the best quality items for the money, ideal for travelling due to its mere size, but extends to a height that’s perfect for me, I decided to upgrade my tripods for my photography and videography and found that k&f suit my needs, i own a few k&f tripods now and they are perfect for the job, I would recommend these.

This Tripp’s is smaller then I even imagined! Could easily be put into a backpack cup holder. The carbon fiber is really sturdy and it even has a hook under the central post to add weight so make sure the tripod doesn’t move. The design of the head of the tripod allows you to properly fold it so that it closes perfectly into a cylinder shape. (Most other tripods when folded dont). Overall really good for travel

For a long time I was looking for a travel tripod that was compact and practical. Whenever hiking or touring vacations were advertised, I had to resort to my Nanomax 400T. Unfortunately, that's about as high as the German bridge rails at full height. After some time I came across TM2324. Short preliminary conclusion: The workmanship is very good. The tripod is trimmed for photo tours. Thanks to its light weight of 1.3 kg and quick fasteners on the legs, it can be taken anywhere and set up super quickly. The spherical head with panoramic function works smoothly and gives you a sense of security. Details: 1. Main data: The tripod is 47 cm long when folded. If you set it up, it can reach a maximum height of 159 cm (on the quick release plate), significantly higher than German bridge rails. The weight I measured was 1.31 kg with the ball head and 1.05 kg without the ball head. Despite the tripod, a lot still fits in the case. 2. Ball head: The ball head not only has the function of a real ball head, but also has a panoramic function. The larger wheel releases the spherical head. This works smoothly and can also be rotated downwards 90° at one point. The smaller wheel is used for the panorama function. This works just as smoothly and, as the name suggests, allows for panoramic shots, as only the vertical axis is released. If you just crop the images you will lose resolution (focal length permitting). If you use the built-in panning functions, you will get a higher resolution. 3. Quick Release Plate: The quick release plate and bracket are made of plastic. In this way, a little weight could probably be saved here as well. Plastic looks very valuable and stable. At first glance, I thought it was metal. A spirit or dragonfly level is installed in the recording, so you can align the camera directly in the field. 4. Center Plate: The feet can be locked in 3 positions with carabiners on the center plate. Although the clamps look a little "loose", the legs are surprisingly well secured in the locked position. The middle bar is held by a classic twist lock. 5. Tripod Legs: The tripod legs are equipped with quick-release fasteners. They feel solid and are particularly useful when you're on the go and don't want to screw forever before pulling the leg out and screwing it back on. With the quick-release fasteners, this can be done in seconds. The tubes themselves are made of brushed black aluminum. I found no iron or steel in the legs. Therefore, nothing can rust if the tripod is placed in a stream or in the sea. One of the legs is partially covered in foam. You can carry the tripod well in it. It's much nicer, especially when it's in minus degrees. 6. Bag: The bag looks well made and of course it is precisely fitted to the tripod. You can carry it by the handle or clip it to the included strap. A reflective strip should probably serve to make you better seen by motorists on night walks. While I never carry my tripods around in purses, I find them quite successful. As you can see, the weather has been bad for a long time, but I didn't want to deprive you of my experience. Once the weather improves I will try to upload more pictures later. I bought and paid for the K&F Concept TM2324 as usual via Amazon, but I get my money back as a product tester. As always, my opinion remains independent and honest.

I found it very sturdy and good quality for the price. The only downside I would have is that you always have to have the center column raised to fold the tripod. And in terms of quality, I don't think the 1/4 thread holder is as good. Other than that the rest fits and it's a super tripod that I like to use for my A7 III or the RGB tubes. I can definitely recommend.

tripod has a good base for me, has clip fasteners. I don't use twist locks, I think these are more susceptible to dirt or sand in the thread. It's a good size: it's not exactly compact, in the normal folded working position it's a little big at 55 cm in small backpacks. But even without the center column extended, it reaches the usable height of 1.38 m, which is great. Tripod head is OK, Arca Swiss plates fit on it. For practical use: When it's not windy, I can work with Fuji DSLMs without any problems, I was even able to use my Nikon D7500 here. Considering that this represents the maximum size in terms of weight, for large full-frame cameras you need heavier tripods. When there was no wind, I was even able to use a Fuji with a small telephoto without the photos being blurred. When there is little wind, I also use it to record videos. The quality is very good for the price. Of course I can't compare the quality and durability with my heavy Manfrotto, but that cost almost 300 euros even with a big spherical head. And especially on longer hikes, I don't feel like carrying the heavy tripod. I am very satisfied with the tripod, I think the price/performance ratio is great.

had the opportunity to test a K&F Concept travel tripod. What particularly interested me was the weight, the quick fasteners on the legs, a comfortable working height for me, the handling of the ball head (I'm not a fan of it) and the price. When the tripod arrived I was immediately taken aback... it comes in an easy to carry bag and the spherical head is protected with a small pouch. An imbus and (admittedly) somewhat sparse instructions are also included. But … do you urgently need instructions for the tripod? The handling of the clamp fasteners is good and I quickly got the hang of it. Thus, the tripod can be set up and taken down quickly. The removable plate is screwed under the camera as usual and is NOT secured with a quick release but is screwed down. But this works fine. The height is 1.33m and the central column allows it to be extended up to 1.56m. That's a tolerable working height for me and Markus... and yes, it's stable, even with the 5D on top. The ball head also held the weight of the 5D well... it can be easily adjusted so that I am even excited as an anti ball head. I found a small glitch though. There is a bubble level on the tripod, but it gets covered when the camera is mounted... but the quality of the tripod really surprised me. I will definitely buy from K&F Concept again if I need something.

Why did I buy this tripod? As you can see from the title, this pairs incredibly well with the sony A7. The second main reason was that I really wanted to avoid buying a tripod with a swivel mechanism (tripod legs), because you turn a branch there, with the clip mechanism the tripod is mounted on the fly. Simply adorable. In addition, it is super developed and the price is very good for what it comes with. Only the bag surprised me a lot, because it seems very well made! A tripod should make photography easier and I think this tripod does just that; everytime! I am absolutely satisfied and look forward to a very long life.
