72'' Professional Camera Video Tripod With Fluid Head & Heavy Duty Aluminum Tube 17.6lbs load - VA18+ VH081
SKU: KF09.121
When I was looking for a video tripod for my bridge camera, I decided on this tripod. Since there were no pre-reviews, I had to buy the "pig in a poke". But since other K&F Concept tripods have been rated well, I decided to buy them. The decisive factor for me was that the tripod should be robust and extendable. The tripod has now been delivered and corresponds to the item description. My description refers to the first impression after trying it out, I can't yet provide any long-term experiences. The K&F Concept AF2451 is made of robust metal with only a few plastic parts and, as expected, is not a very light tripod. The carrying case that comes with it also makes a robust impression. I hadn't really understood how the fixation of the legs works from the texts. The system also makes a very stable impression. A small silver-colored metal plate can practically be pulled out so that each leg can move freely. If you push this part in, it can press itself into one of the three specified "steps" so that one of the three possible angular positions is fixed. Simple but robust and effective. (With other tripods, the "locks" sometimes got stuck, which is not the case here.) The tripod is still very stable even when fully extended. With the tripod you can reach a height of approx. 1.90 m of the optical axis of a camera mounted on it. The clip locks for the tripod legs are easy to use. There are two small circular spirit levels for adjustment, one on the "spider" of the tripod and one on the video head. This can be fine-tuned using a screw on the side. You can't adjust the resistance for turning the head and tilting it, but you can adjust the pressure of the locking screws so that you can adjust the "ease of movement" a bit. As shown in the picture, the base plate is secured against accidental slipping out with a button. I also have no complaints about the clamping device for the holding plate. The rubber feet can be exchanged for spikes, which are included in the scope of delivery. Various Allen keys are also included for tightening the screws. The stand rod has a hook at the bottom to which a weight can be attached. This bracket can be unscrewed so that the rod can also be attached upside down in order to achieve small distances to the ground. As shown in the pictures, the leg with the casing can be unscrewed so that you can also make a monopod together with the middle tripod rod. Overall, everything makes a stable and solid impression. I'm curious to see how the tripod will prove itself in use.

This is a really nice, high quality tripod. The value for money is amazing. Feels solid and durable My complaints relate to the uncomfortable setup of the tripod when you want to fold it into the included pouch. Second, that my Ronin S Plate doesn't fit the video head. Otherwise it's a theft!

bought it to use a tablet I also bought on Amazon for a projector. I have another tripod with adjustable height and more cuffs but it didn't have stability on the tray as it was quite weak at the connection point. It's a different world with this one. It is perfectly fixed and has a robust stability. All made of metallic material. 200% recommended and more considering the cheap price.

have been using it as a video tripod for 6 months. Price performance and compactness are very good for me. I have already recommended it to others

I bought the stand after I bought the tripod, but I regret not having ordered it sooner. All aluminum material like the tripod. Equipped with various joints and adapters, it allows for unique versatility. Any photo/video need can be solved with only 2 products. The value for money should not be underestimated.

Of excellent quality at a very small price. I used it on a monopod, it can be set up on its own or with fluid movements. Easy to open and close. Both small and large inch photo thread adapter.

Fits through the thread for countless smartphones. The rubber pads prevent scratches on the end device. Can be easily attached to a tripod, but also stands alone with the smartphone for great shots.

I honestly thought I wasn't expecting such a sturdy fluid head tripod for so little money. Even the carrying case makes a really big impression. It's really fun to work with. All attention! A clear buy recommendation from me.
