67''/3.93lbs Aluminum Horizontal Camera Video Tripod With Monopod & 32mm Ball Head 26lbs Load - T255A4+BH-32L(Gray)
SKU: KF09.085V5
Great tripo, very sturdy. Ball head and the ability to "hang" your camera low opens up a lot of new possibilities. Tripod seems well made, it's light weight and comes in a nice little carry bag. My only complaint is the lack of a handle for the head, but not a deal breaker. Still an awesome tripod.

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!!!

Never go for plastic tripods, they will inevitably break. Especially if you’re using it daily! You want to go for quality, like this tripod! It’s durable, versatile and has a very smooth pan. Perfect for professionals! Very happy with it!

Al principio dudé en querer comprar. Pero no te arrepientes. El material, los ángulos en los que puedes manipularlo es súper fácil. Estoy muy contenta de mi compra.

Extremely versatile tool that comes at a great price. All fittings seem secure and for its weight, the tripod is quite sturdy. It will take some practice to become familiar with its mechanics in order to deploy it efficiently in the field. Long story short - a solid product at an affordable price. And yes, you'll like to travel case!

purchased this with my own coins! I have been using Tripods for a while now however they had no quality. They were good however did not give me the professional feel that I was looking for. Then K&F Concept TM2515T1 Professional 67 inch Camera Tripod Horizontal Aluminum Tripod. It has a 360 Degree Ball Head with a Quick release plate for my Sony ZV1. First, let me tell you about the bag that it comes in. It is beautiful. I never had a bag that came with a tripod or light that I cared about. This one is beautiful. I can almost use like a purse. It is quality made. I love that it is compact and flexible. The legs can adjust from 22” to 67” however portable. Can easily fit in a carrying bag. Also, it has a bubble level to make sure that it is level when shooting a video or picture. It can be turned into a monopod however that is a feature that I will not use. However, nice to know that it is there. Most important to me is that I can do overhead shots. Love it. This was the main reason I got it. Again this is a great tripod that I will use frequently. I am happy I made this choice.

Great tripod haven’t taken it into the field as of yet but it’s doing a great job holding the telescope at home for now. Might have to get another one for the camera as well. Comes with a carry bag which is really handy.

was undecided to choose between the K&F and the Manfrotto Before GT Pro which retails about 400$ Of course, the Manfrotto would win for sturdiness and durability but the K&F Concept is much more versatile. Finally, I decided to keep the K&F Concept because I do not use a tripod very often and I am not a professional photographer. This tripod is more than enough for the small light mirrorless camera I own. Both tripods have a joint that enables the central column to go horizontal so you can shoot off center or use the tripod for table or floor shots. But the K&F Concept goes further; you can reverse the column and put the camera under the tripod. And the central column is double; so you can double the height of this sturdy column. The only negative is the ball head that feels a bit cheap, especially the simili Arca Swiss quick release plate that can come off too easily (the safety is not sturdy enough). But I have another better quality ball head I could use. This is a travel tripod; it is relatively light, comes with a nice travel bag; but don't expect to hold a big camera very steady. It should be used with small point and shoot, sport cameras and mirrorless cameras. I own a small Manfrotto video head (700RC2) and it works quite well with the K&F Concept providing you add some weight under using the clip on the central column. Finally, one of the legs detach to make a pretty decent monopod or walking stick :). All in all I am quite happy with the K&F Concept.
