Get it now! Don't hesitate!
I've had a few different tripods over the years at different price points but this is by far the best!
Being a wedding and lifestyle photographer I use it in so many different settings and it doesn't fail! Each leg is individually adjustable meaning no matter the terrain you can make it level and sturdy.
I love that all the connectors move so smoothly and the whole kit is incredibly robust and yet very lightweight. It all folds up neatly into the one bag/case that I've shown in the photos.
The top arm can extend to a 90 degree angle which is brilliant for taking photos of flat lays etc without the legs of the tripod being in shot.
Another little extra that I like is a small spirit level on the top connector just so you can make sure everything is level before you attach your camera.
The tripod has a wieght hook underneath for added sturdiness in extreme conditions and one of the legs also detaches to become a monopod!
Overall this tripod is an excellent bit of kit and I have been very impressed with every aspect of it especially at under £100!
So if you're looking for a reliable and versatile tripod this is the one for you!

Smooth gliding and nice quality
The tripod is compact and lightweight. The mount is plastic which is a shame it would have been nice to have a metal one.
The camera movement is nice and smooth and it has a lot of position. The legs are strong and sturdy. It needs a counterweight when using the overhead and the hook for one isn't the best.
Pros
Nice build quality
easy to adust lefts and head.
smooth glide.
light-weight
Cons
plastic camera mount
tips easy when using the overhead.
Overall a nice tripod with a few bits that could be improved to make it prefect.

Lightweight, sturdy, the tiltover head gives a special feature I wanted.
K& F concept aluminium tripod with 180 degree tiltover camera head
Summery: Lightweight, sturdy, the tiltover head gives a special feature I wanted.
I own quite a few tripods and camera mounts because I have so many cameras so this one joins my collection for a special reason which I will explain in a short while.
The model is KF-TM2515T
It has 4 part telescopic legs that extend to a give a maximum tripod height of 6o inches, the legs can be used in 3 different angle positions which is adjusted using the red button at the top of each leg, there is no central connector so each leg angle can be set individually.
The centre column is in 2 parts, the outer part can be height adjusted while the second section can not only be extended vertically but it can also be tilted over 180 degrees, it was this feature that made me decide to add this to my collection, more on that in a while.
As with a lot of tripods you can invert the centre column to allow low level and macro shooting, but the tillable section adds a little extension to give a different view than one bound to the centre, you can even make an ad-hoc slider shot by slowly moving the bar along the centre column.
The tripod head is a standard 3/8 thread panning ball-head type that are found on many of my tripods, I like ball-heads for my smaller cameras. It has an Arca-Swiss type quick release clamp with a bubble for camera levelling.
The tripod is lightweight, strong, it folds down pretty small and comes with a strong looking zipped case with straps so for general purpose use it is great, with the added tilt feature to give some extra creative assistance.
Now the reason I bought this particular tripod…..I need to be able to mount 2 cameras on one tripod properly, and this tripod helps me do just that with a little bit of extra kit.
The end of the centre bar has a small plastic cap screwed into it, when taken away a 3/8 thread is revealed, most of my tripod centre column have this, it is usually there to hold the sandbag hook screw. So by using a short 3/8 inch threaded bar and an extra ball-head I can make a double tripod. Fantastic and very useful to save space when shooting.
One leg can also be removed and used with the centre column as a monopod but I already have monopods so I will not be using that feature with this tripod.

Extremely versatile Tripod suitable for a range of photographers
As a large proportion of my photography is automotive I was looking for a tripod which as well as allowing the standard style of shots would allow extremely low down angles.
Previously my low down shots have been band held however as I’m experimenting more with night photography I needed the ability to restrain the camera as low as possible angled up and with long exposures this needed to be sturdy.
After looking at a lot of different Tripods I settled on the K&F as the pure versatility appeared to be more than many tripods at triple the price. I was pleasantly surprised upon just how flexible the tripod is, and if you’re prepared to think even further outside the box I was able to mount the camera upside down allowing it to be just millimetres above the ground for the best possible angle.
With the ability to control every aspect of the tripod gives greater flexibility, the ball head and ability to mount the column horizontal or vertically gives a lot of control. I was skeptic all about how far the camera can over hang but providing the camera body is within the limits of the legs your find, and with the ability to hang you kit bag underneath for extra stability I can’t see have any trouble with that aspect. I’ve yet to try the mono-pod mode but imagine that will come in handy in tight places and the fact I’ll always have it with me as it’s part of the tripod is great.
I was really pleased with the included carry case which also includes a strap, a real bonus as my camera bag is messenger style and doesn’t accommodate a tripod so I can just throw it over my shoulder.
This is my first K&F product but will be sure to consider their other products as I grow my accessory collection.
I’ve included a few photos of how I’ve managed to set up the camera on the tripod.

Lightweight, easy to handle, this is the perfect companion when you go shooting!
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

Professional tripod at an amateur cost
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!

Good for casual use
I was looking for a handy tripod that I can also use when traveling or on city trips. So I ordered the K&F Concept TM2515T tripod with a smaller pack size.
It arrives well packaged in a dedicated tripod bag. This can also be used to transport the tripod when traveling etc. The ball head is additionally wrapped to protect it from scratches.
The pack size of the tripod is perfect for my application. It easily fits on my backpack tripod mount. I hardly feel any difference from before. Of course, I probably wouldn't want to climb a peak with a tripod because it's not the lightest. But that's not why I bought it. In my opinion, the tripod also needs the existing weight to be able to stand stably. With the even lighter specimens, I have concerns that they could tip over in stronger gusts of wind. A nice gimmick of the tripod is the holder for additional weight on the center column. An additional weight, such as a backpack, can be attached to it. You can also turn the tripod into a monopod. I haven't used this function yet can be very interesting when traveling. With the function that you can fold the center column horizontally, you get even more options to get the best shot.
In terms of quality, the tripod is of course not comparable to a tripod in the higher price segment and a professional photographer will certainly not want to use it either. However, with the tripod, K&F is addressing both photographers and amateur filmmakers who want to venture into the subject.
For the price, the tripod is really recommendable. If you are looking for a compact tripod for travel or in general, I think the tripod is a good choice.

if it's your first tripod highly recommended
excellent product of quality and good design brings a medium quality transport bag and a carry one, it comes in a box the tripod measures about 42 cm when closed for transport and the minimum height is about 56 cm, its maximum height 1.70 cm higher height less stability I recommend a counterweight to keep it stable and not raise the ball that with the most weight could fall that although it is tight it can also fall, the maximum weight supported is 10 kilos, keep in mind that you should always put 2 kilos less on it to prevent it from falling or breaking due to the weight.
if it is your first tripod, it is very worthwhile to be careful with the wheels and not squeeze them too much because they could break or turn when you arrive and not squeeze it, the rubber bands on the legs will wear out over time so don't be surprised when they break, the model is quite good and I consider it the intermediate point of its longest madelo , large and expensive of 2 meters and of its 1.30 m model which is the smallest this one is in the middle its weight is 1,690 aluminum I recommend it a lot but keep in mind that it will end due to wear because each joint where the balls are will wear out due to use is only an observation. I highly recommend it.

The most versatile and well built multi position tripod at the moment.
The K&F Concept 67 inch Camera Tripod is the closest thing your gonna get to a Swiss Army knife at the moment. I have owned the Sunpac, Manfrotto backpack, Bogen and others and the K&F continues to be my favorite all around portable tripod by far.
Tall enough and sturdy when you need a legitimate tripod for serious photography or video but, small enough to pack and versatile enough not to have to bring more than one tripod. Gets into more places than any other tripod Ive used and still small enough to put in a backpack.
The K&F 67inch can be inverted so close to the ground shots are no problem and you can hang a weight or bag from the center post when you need more stability for standard shots. The vertical option is really the game changer here. It allows you to reach over the spread of the tripod to get close on product shots or wedding shots like rings close ups while still allowing you to shoot and unobstructed straight down shot if necessary, very cool!
And after all that, one of the legs can be unscrewed to become a fully functional monopod or even a sound boom pole in a pinch.
The build quality is what you would expect from a quality manufacturer and the included bag is the best I've seen from any manufacturer to date.

The maximum height is 67", including the center column vertically. Using the center column horizontally reduces max height to 49". The center column goes horizontal for 10" until you see a STOP sign.
Probably much more useful and cheaper is a light stand boom. Check this out on Amazon for $40.
