Please note this review is for the TM2324 – travel tripod / monopod kitThe build quality of this tripod is very good indeed and I have trusted it entirely with all of my kit, it supports my Canon 7D and heavy EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS II lens and no problem at all (their combined weight is around 2.3KG). Note the max load capacity is quoted as 8kg.I am a very keen amateur photographer and already own a couple of Manfrotto tripods (one for studio work and the other for travel), and I have been extremely impressed with this lightweight but sturdy tripod / monopod kit from K&F.The body of the tripod is made from magnesium aluminium alloy so it's very lightweight at roughly 1.9kg (including the ball head and travel case).In use the tripod has performed well with the following features making it a product that is practical and pleasurable to use out in the field:+Light weight so not a problem to carry all day (1.9kg)+Built in spirit level+Very tall 150cm max height tripod+Very compact when closed away (just 41cm long)+Sturdy construction+Super smooth ball head movement+Very strong ball head can hold heavy camera/lens in place+Carry bag included+Grippy rubber feet+Well made grey carry bagOverall I really can’t praise this tripod enough; it’s light weight, sturdiness and excellent construction means I would highly recommend this tripod!I was kindly provided a sample by the manufacturer to review; the opinions expressed here are entirely my own view of this tripod.

This product was sent to me for review and its important to know from the onset that its available in 4 different types; TM2324, TM2515, TC2534 and TM2534. I received the TM2324. If you look a few lines below the price section you will see the 4 models available and clicking on each one changes the details on the page.It comes well presented with terrific padding and the carry case that it comes with is well padded, with a strong zip and strong handles. The quality of the tripod is high and its made mainly of magnesium aluminium alloy. Overall it's medium weight and fully extends to 1350mm.The design on this is modern, classic, steampunk and it adjusts in quite a few different areas, offering a great deal of flexibility. Starting at the bottom, there are rubber pads present with a durable look, it adjusts in 3 separate parts just above the legs and these are controlled by a simple yet secure mechanism. Next up is the grip on 1 leg which allows you to carry it without the zipped case.The legs themselves can move inwards or outwards and can be controlled independently and the mechanism allows that to happen easily too. The middle section can also adjust about a ruler length, up or down. Just before you get to the middle section you get the soft hand strap and I personally found that to be very useful when it was using it to take photos of a waterfall on uneven rocks.The top unit can adjust in even more ways as you can move your camera left, right, forward, back and anywhere in between. The adjuster on that is tiny but it works well. The section underneath can also twist clockwise and anti-clockwise and that completes the adjustment tour!.The camera attachment on top is an universal one and gets controlled by a small adjuster on the side. I was more than happy with its performance and from all the large tripods that I have used, this is certainly the one that can be adjust the easiest.I also like the bronzy detailing and it goes very well with the black colour. You also get the spirit level on top which worked well and will be essential for certain individuals.Verdict: Easy to use and adjusts in a number of different areas

great price.Pretty much everything about this product impressed me. From the moment you open it from the packaging you realize how small and portable it is. The tripod feels very secure and the monopod is the best part. You simply remove one of the legs and attach it to the center shaft. It only takes about a minute or less to swap from one to the other.

My wildlife photography/birding hobby has always been on a very tight budget due to my very tight pension! I have had a couple of cheapo tripods which,frankly were rubbish!So when I was offered this tripod free in return for a honest and unbiased review I snatched it up quickly!So what do you get for your hard earned cash? In the box you will find.....1 X Tripod bag with a shoulder strap.1 X Tripod with.....1 X Short central axis.1 X Standard screw.1 X Allen key.1 X Head bag,to protect the head (a very good idea!)1 X very useful and informative user manual.The whole lot comes packaged in a very sturdy box giving maximum protection for the tripod.How simple is the tripod to set up?Extremely easy indeed,the three legs are initially folded up towards the head,and it is just a case of folding them down and extending them to give you the correct height required for your camera and/or spotting scope.It was so easy that I didnt have to bother with the instruction manual at all.the locking lugs on the legs etc, are easy to lock/unlockThe tripod is manufactured from high grade magnesium aluminium alloy,and looks as if it will last for a long time!The head is where you will probably need to consult the instruction manual,just so you can get it set correctly (Hint, pop a screwdriver with a wide head into your bag as you will need one to tighten the head screw) the head also has a small spirit level to assist with getting your photograph straight!And that is almost all you need to know,except to say that if you need the tripod to be even more stable than it already is,there is a sprung hook at the base of the central axis where you can suspend and extra weight.The product photos show the tripod bag usedto hold the weight and this would seem to be a good idea!A terrific mid priced tripod for the keen photographer.

This is definitely the tripod to get. It's exceptionally versatile in how it can be manipulated to enable the taking of the perfect picture in whatever the situation. It's light enough to be portable, but sturdy enough to give me confidence that my precious camera will be safe. It of course comes with the essential weight hook, so it can be weighed down to enhance stability where necessary. Oh, it comes beautifully packaged, complete with carrying case and shoulder strap. The tripod itself looks absolutely gorgeous and I can't imagine how it could possibly be improved upon aesthetically. I'm very proud to own it, and my camera loves it too. Very highly recommended.

Having used some K&F Concept products in the past it was no surprise to me that the quality of this tripod would be brilliant. For the money you would be crazy not to buy this over a Manfrotto Befree in my opinion. The whole tripod from top to bottom feels premium, from the latches which lock the legs into place to the buttery smooth ball head that pans beautifully to the left and right (can also be locked to stay stationary). One thing I really like about this tripod is the center pole which can be reversed to get the camera as low to the ground as possible, great for getting some really unique shots, on the flip side of that though the tripod can extend very high indeed almost reaching the ceiling in my house! I like how they included the hook on the bottom too so you can add weight to the tripod to increase the stability, good for those windy days which I see many of where I live. All in all it's a great piece of kit and if you're torn between this and something else I'd pick this as the safe option, it's great quality and amazing value for money.
