67'' Aluminum Horizontal Camera Video Tripod With Monopod & 32mm Ball Head 26lbs Load - T255A4+BH-32L
SKU: KF09.085V4
When the package arrived it was so small and light I thought I must’ve ordered the wrong item. Wouldn’t have been the first time. This tripod is excellent value – it is strong, lightweight, easy to manoeuvre and folds down to a very small size. And there is the added bonus of the instructions, which demonstrate a very creative use of the English language. However if you’re interested in this tripod you probably know how it works so you should be happy to regard the instructions as a comedy bonus.

Review uodate!Have this amazing multifunctional tripod for a couple of months and have to admit its very very good! This company had such a great idea of creating such a helpful device! There is no change of quality since I bought this item, works perfectly after 5!months.Really happy with my choice!Hello guys!This is my 4th K&F product, i am in love with this company! So far their products proved me that they are good quality.This tripod in particular is very light, easy to use and STEADY!The reason I bought it is for its transverse feature, I shoot OVERHEAD food videos and its really helpful! Check the pictures. Besides this why to get a monopod when you have K&F? It has rubber grip, easy to mount, very light! I was checking online for similar products with the same features, well at least double price. Think about this.What i like the most about this product? Well, the rotation screws, just simply to use and really functional.I think you can place it anywhere because you can modify the postion of the legs this is why i manage to fit it on the table i am using to film. What you see in the pictures is not actually what I do, I am waiting for my wife to come back from the market with goodies and to start filming. Sorry that I didnt put pictures of the process but its the same thing.

I have been very please with this lightweight travel tripod. It is extremely versatile and can be used in a range of configurations as shown in the attached photos. The build quality is very good, each of the legs has a latch that locks into place when extended. One of the legs is fully removable and can be used as a monopod. The tripod head has a fluid motion which is excellent for videography. Very pleased.

Thanks to my friends on youtube, I got recommendation for tripod from K&F. Right after I got it, I had to test it and now I'm using it 5-8 hours every day where I see it amazing. Most important to me is extended horizontal stick, where I can use it for ground shots or shots above certain product. And how small it is when it's assembled, fits everywhere!Now after I tried tripod, I'm sure I will test more from K&F!

I took a closer look at the travel tripod over the past few days and would now like to share my impressions. Overall, the tripod scored well, although there are slight deductions in the B grade.
==== Scope of delivery ====
To be honest, there is not much to tell about the scope of delivery. Included are:
- Travel tripod
- Carrying bag (incl. shoulder strap)
- instruction manual
- Allen key
Everything is delivered in a descriptive cardboard box, but this is of course only a secondary matter for a tripod.
==== Look & feel ====
The colour of the tripod is timeless black with small red elements. I really like this combination, but it's nothing out of the ordinary. The tripod is not too light and feels good in the hand. So for the money, the buyer doesn't get rickety cheap goods. However, some parts of the tripod were scratched, which is why I have to deduct a B grade for this. However, this did not affect the functionality. The legs are pleasantly easy to adjust. All operations go off without a hitch.
So, apart from the minor quirks, a great look and feel!
==== Functionality ====
The tripod can be extended to a height of approx. 1.54 metres. At the lower end there is an additional hook to which weights can be attached. This should provide more stability. Since I don't necessarily extend the tripod completely, I didn't need any additional weight.
The head element including the ball head works very smoothly and without jerks. With a steady hand, it should perhaps also be possible to do small camera pans, if these are desired. This flexibility is enhanced by the fact that the rod can be rotated 90° at the top. This allows for side shots or shooting very close to the ground.
In addition, the tripod can be converted into a monopod. With my hands, however, I prefer to rely on three legs.
The supplied bag looks high-quality and is made of a slightly thicker material. This may be too bulky for some. I usually transport my travel tripod directly on my backpack so that I can access it quickly. Therefore, the transport bag is just a nice extra for me.
==== Conclusion ====
With this travel tripod, the whole package is right: quality (except for a few compromises), looks and functionality are convincing. I already own a travel tripod, but it only cost half as much and has a correspondingly cheaper finish. This one will stay on the shelf from now on, as I like the new one much more.

I was looking for a new, lighter tripod after a total change of my camera equipment from an SLR to a hybrid. I initially chose a carbon tripod of only 1.3KG, ideal to carry, as it was so light that it fit directly into my backpack and not outside.
But in use, it was another thing since I was used to an Alta Pro 263AT, I had lost this freedom of movement since it did not allow me to place my camera in certain positions. After having put it in the wardrobe for a while, I decided to find a replacement and I found this model, which is a little heavier (300 grams) but in the end corresponds much better to my expectations thanks to the remote arm and the possibility of transforming the tripod into a monopod in a few seconds, which allowed me to part with mine at the same time and to amortize the price of this tripod. Following the first tests, it's really a no-brainer so far.
IN SUMMARY
Appreciable lightness combined with a minimal footprint
Shooting from every possible and unimaginable angle
A solid feel that I hope will last over time

Review uodate!
Have this amazing multifunctional tripod for a couple of months and have to admit its very very good! This company had such a great idea of creating such a helpful device! There is no change of quality since I bought this item, works perfectly after 5!months.
Really happy with my choice!
Hello guys!
This is my 4th K&F product, i am in love with this company! So far their products proved me that they are good quality.
This tripod in particular is very light, easy to use and STEADY!
The reason I bought it is for its transverse feature, I shoot OVERHEAD food videos and its really helpful! Check the pictures. Besides this why to get a monopod when you have K&F? It has rubber grip, easy to mount, very light! I was checking online for similar products with the same features, well at least double price. Think about this.
What i like the most about this product? Well, the rotation screws, just simply to use and really functional.
I think you can place it anywhere because you can modify the postion of the legs this is why i manage to fit it on the table i am using to film. What you see in the pictures is not actually what I do, I am waiting for my wife to come back from the market with goodies and to start filming. Sorry that I didnt put pictures of the process but its the same thing. I also take pictures of interior, well, used it for a short session like for 30 min and im happy with it, as you can see in the last picture, its amazing how small it can be.
Next K&F product I am going to get........a backpack!!!

After purchasing our first kf concept tripod we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the materials, the solidity and the value for money. So we decided to renew the tripods in our studio. As soon as we bought it we put it to the test with two sets of studios and it proved to be as good as we expected!
In the box we find our tripod , carrying bag , always useful in case of travel where you need to bring a studio tripod , and ... .
The tripod is very compact, when closed it measures only 40cm, which makes it ideal to be transported on photographic trips and long journeys, its lightness makes it easy to carry and to put in a luggage in case of air travel. Fully extended it reaches a height of 154 cm and thanks to its 5 sections it can be adjusted with good precision. The 5 section extenders are screw fasteners, we usually tend to prefer the hook fasteners but these have proved to be very practical, just take them all together with one hand and in one movement they can all be unscrewed, great for those who need to extend the tripod quickly. As in many tripods you have the possibility to unhook one of the legs and make it become a monopod, very quick on this tripod but the fixing system is really good and the grip on the unscrewing pod makes it very comfortable to use.
Let's move on to the ball head, which allows excellent flexibility in shooting, reaching any desired angle and being able to rotate 360°. The base of the head in turn has the possibility of having a fluid 360° rotation, useful both for panoramas and for videos, where the graduated scale at its base becomes very convenient. The release plate is good, even if it is made of plastic. But we come to the real highlight of this tripod, the transverse column, is in fact the main reason why we bought this tripod, the ability to move from the area where the feet of the tripod would be in the view and shoot perpendicularly downwards. Good extension, allows you to work easily with vertical shots on many surfaces, tables, floors, as well as to shoot from elevated ledges without risking the equipment or having to lean out personally, also great when you shoot by reversing the tripod in order to reach perspectives otherwise impossible.
PRO
Transverse column
Ball head
Lightness
Compactness
COUNTER Nothing major, the lightness means it's counterbalanced if you're outdoors or shooting with heavy equipment but that's even with high end and much more expensive tripods
WOULD YOU RECOMMEND
This tripod at a very affordable price point is definitely one of the best if not the best on the market, complete with every feature a tripod should have in 2019 it offers everything at a hyper competitive price, the quality is great and the tripod passed our tests with flying colours, obviously all in relation to the price. Excellent alternative to much more expensive tripods, recommended for amateur and professional photographers but also for those who want a tripod that can be used to make videos on youtube, even for unboxing and overhead shots!
