Horizontal Aluminum Camera Tripod 67 inch Portable Monopod with 360 Degree Ball Head Quick Release Plate for DSLR T255A4+BH-28L (TM2515T1)

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!!!

What impresses immediately in thist K&F Concept 60" Tripod is the quality and the attention to detail, beginning in the sturdy carry bag. The 39 cm tripod can open up to 154 cm. You can use the tripod in countless situations, being very versatile for shooting night shots, taking product shots, macro shots at the ground level, and even using for shooting videos. The tripod is sturdy, tight, but if is very windy it has a stand in the center to add some weight. The head have a plate with easy grip screw, is also very versatile and sturdy, making it easy to level the horizon of the camera without moving its paws, especially usefull in video shooting. Note the excellent rubber paws, non-slip and narrow to achieve stability even on dirt terrain.
The set have a different short central axis that is easy to change in case you don't need to use the big one that comes assembled.
When i need to put my video camera on tripod, as i use a different plate to use in a gimbal, i put a quick release plate as i show in the picture.

Great value for money. An excellent tripod especially for travel but also for everyday use.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

im not a big review writer so ill get straight to the point of this being super useful and its pros and consProsIdeal travel tripod,light weight ,very versatile, turns into a tripod, super easy to use ,its a space saver and it comes with a super nice carrying bagConsjust doesn't come with a ideal quick release head .. easy fix you can simply change it to a manfrotto releasehonestely i could find anything wrong with this tripod

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.

This tripod is a beast! Whilst it may not have the name "Manfrotto" or "3 Legged Thing" all over it, it is more than capable for it's price point!

Having switched to this from a similarly priced Manfrotto, albeit a much smaller tripod I am initially surprised with the similarly in quality.

Whilst the Manfrotto feels ever so slightly more refined, the K&F blows it out the park with height, versatility and ease of use!

I always found the Manfrotto locking mechanisms very small, fidgety and likely to give me small blisters from repeated adjustment. Whereas the K&F model has comfortably sized levers/screws.

The ability to dettach one leg and use it as a monopod is an excellent addition and the additional grip on this leg is nicely positioned and very comfortable.

The ability to move the main central point to a over the top arm for top down/lay flat is amazing! This creates much more potential, and having all this in ONE tripod is a bonus.

Overall this tripod feels very well built and feels like it will stand the test of time!

There are only three cons I can find!

- The included bag is not the greatest of materials and the added shoulder strap has plastic vs metal clips. However if your dedicated camera bag has space for a tripod this isn't an issue.

- The twist locks on each leg are plastic, however they do feel very strong and not flimsy at all. Being used to aluminium locks on the Manfrotto tripod I noticed this immediately.

- The springs that hold ratchet locks on each leg tight are a little flimsy, again being used to a different mechanism on the Manfrotto this bares no effect on quality and durability. If anything they are actually easier to release as the spring isn't extremely stiff!

Who would I recommend this to?

Anyone! This tripod is capable of meeting the needs of all photographers at all levels in my opinion! Whilst it may not be as rugged as some higher end brands, the fact remains that it is of very high quality and packed full of features. 10/10 for me.
