66 "/168cm Camera Tripod,Lightweight and Compact Aluminum Super Portable DSLR Tripod,8KG/17.6 lbs Load Capacity CNC Ball Head,Quick Release Plate for Travel and Work F263A4

The K&F Concept 263A4 comes in a light nylon cinch sack. The tripod is extremely light weight and compact. At its price point it is a great value, other small cheap tripods are not built as sturdy or have the professional features this one has. The ball head is well designed to be lightweight but effective for larger cameras. The leg nuts and leg hinges are made of plastic parts, the good thing is they are lightweight, they are also prone to failure quicker than metal. But again, this type of compromise is expected at this price point.

The 263A4 tripod lacks a hook to help stabilize it by hanging a backpack on it. In fact the center pole does not slide like on most tripods. The pole is in a fixed position, the legs need to be unhinged and bent up to store the unit. This is an extra step when deploying the tripod. I like the lever locks on the legs, these work well, making it very easy to extend the legs with a quick flick.

The tripod is not super stable like my high-end tripods, but it works for time exposures as long as the wind is not too strong. I would not use this for video pans and tilts. The tripod come with an ingenious mobile phone adapter. It collapses to nothing but has a sturdy spring to grip my iPhone 13.

The K&F 263A4 has no become my favorite tripod to attach to my backpack to have when the right photo presents itself.

I'm coming from the kf concept basics tripod I've had for a few years. While it had been great and does the job, I can clearly see the what's better about this one now that I have it.

Stability is on point. The legs are thick, the feet are thick rubber, it's lightweight but heavier than the other tripod. I can worry less about my expensive camera or phone sitting on it and falling down. The legs snap into place, and they aren't going anywhere.

The rotaing ball is silky smooth. You don't feel any jerks or hear any sounds making it perfect for rotaing while filming even though it's marketed as panorama. It would be nice to get a longer knob on it though to make it easier.

Had a phone attachment to mount your phone in horizontal mode. No frills, just attach and go. No vertical mode unless you have a small phone.

Comes with carrying bag to keep it safe and for easy transport. Also comes with tools to tighten legs if you need to.

Build Quality.
Having used pro grade tripods before I can tell you this feels like a pro grade tripod. The legs are very sturdy with good latches and extend easily. The ball join locks down TIGHT with a quarter turn. All the adjustments you would ever need are there and the materials are very nice and good quality. Even the bag is well way beyond my expectations -- very sturdy and durable with a very large easy to use zipper. I am very impressed with the quality

Use:
The tripod works very well and is easy to deploy and adjust. It's light weight and compact making it easy to carry along for an outdoor shoot. The quick release also works very well for standard cameras and attaches using a screw.

Phone attachment
There is an included phone attachment that can be attached to the quick release platform that has a very strong spring for holding smartphones with cameras.

Final thoughts:
This is a great quality tripod with all the adjustments you expect. It is quick and easy to setup and sturdy. I highly recommend it!

Love this tripod!

I only included pics of the phone adapter, as the mfg did a good job with pics of the product itself.

The legs fold upwards towards the head, which I think helps in reducing some parts compared to other more hefty tripods. The material feels strong, but is probably not to heavy duty standards - it's probably better for casual use.

The flip latches on the legs and the main body all have a tight lock feel, and seem to be made of strong plastic.

The head is a ball head which can be locked, with a separate pan function - the pan on the head feels very smooth. There are no bubble levels for leveling your setup, but the head is also removable, so you can place a different one on it should you need other features.

The phone adapter it came with is super thin, and is much more compact than any others I've seen in the past.

This tripod is exceptionally well-built and can easily rival many professional tripods on the market. Its stability is outstanding, making it suitable for handling even heavy DSLR cameras with telephoto lenses. The ball head is a real gem, allowing for effortless adjustments with just a single screw. Additionally, it comes with a 1/4" adapter and a spring-loaded phone mount, catering to both regular cameras and smartphones for photography needs.

While the included bag is basic and made with thin Nylon, it should still provide adequate protection against the elements. The entire setup is impressively compact and lightweight, weighing less than 3 pounds (1.3kg), making it perfect for travel and outdoor photography.

All in all, I have no reservations in recommending this well-crafted and versatile tripod to anyone in need of a reliable photography companion.

Got this to free up my hand when in the moment of taking pictures. It holds up pretty well with my Canon 5D IV and 50 mm 1.2 lens. I also use this with my 70-200 mm 2.8 lens, and still no issues. It's great having it around and carrying it around when I'm out and about. It only weighs about 43.6 ounces or ~2.725 lbs. I can say that the tripod is indeed sturdy AND durable. It's a nice tripod for doing long exposures, couples pictures with a remote, taking stationary headshots, and of course, dog photos! Can I trust this with my expensive camera? Yes, most definitely. Is it worth getting for 40 bucks? Yes. Definitely in the top percentile in regards to value and quality for tripods under 50 dollars.

Lightweight, Compact & Super Portable unfolds to nice holding firm locking position, holds firm even in windy conditions while out and about filming on location or taking pictures. This Concept 66''/168cm Camera Tripod is highly recommended, Five stars!

Ok, this may not be a thiny tripod but it is still very compact and good build. I did not know I could use it for Macro and very low ground composition so I was thrilled when I discovered that after unpacking :D. It is also very tall, which I'm finding very useful a it seems like a very stable one. For this price I think there is no better tripod on a market.

tri-pod in it's simplest form is a three-legged stand for supporting a camera or other apparatus. I've used several tripods throughout the years, and each one excels at one thing or another. Some are light, some are super sturdy, and some are miniature making them easy to pack away or carry on a day trip. For my general photography use (product photography, long exposures) I've found that finding the right set of compromises leads to the best tripod for my needs. That's where I've found the K&F to excel at meeting my specific set of needs. Here's what I like: The tripod is light. It's not feather weight, or forget it's there light, but it's light enough to be able to carry around all day strapped to a comfortable camera bag. Weighing in at just 3.3 lbs, it's about as light of a travel tripod built of aluminum I could expect. Completely folded, this tripod is about 17 inches long. Plenty of "collapsability" to be able to pack it on the side of your bag without it sticking up in the air. This tripod feels really well built for being a sub $100 travel tripod. When you hold it, it feels and looks substantial. Not heavy, just very tight tolerances, and generally aesthetically pleasing. The anodizing on the aluminum lock-outs and ball head are a really nice touch. It is rated to hold 22lbs/10kg. I'm certain it will hold that easily, if not more. The rubber grips are all implemented nicely with zero movement between the rubber grip and the lock out it turns. So, the absolute most important factor for me in a tripod, is obviously the stability. While this tripod will extend to almost 69 inches/175 cm, it's most stable when the center support is at the mid to low setting, and only the top three leg extensions are out. It's absolutely rock solid at it's med high, to mid level settings. When everything is extended to full height, a strong wind would absolutely introduce some movement. Leg lock outs are as expected. They lock out firmly and confidently when unfolding. When extending the legs, the rubber twist locks are easily tightened and I have zero doubt about their ability to stay put. The 28mm ball head is surrounded by what looks like a teflon sleeve offering smooth camera movements. The head also pans buttery smooth like a geared or fluid head would. The Arca-Swiss mount is a great option and seems to be the new standard in quick mounts. The Arca base also has a spirit level which is handy if your camera doesn't have in-camera level indication. One leg is designed to be used as a monopod. I don't use that feature, but it's nice to have and easy to transition. Under center post is a bag or weight hook. This can be removed revealing a 3/8 female mount. Great for mounting a second ball head for quick camera position swaps. My only gripe would be that the feet are not replaceable. They are shallow spiked rubber feet that are not interchangeable. They work fine for light duty use. All in all, I am very happy with this tripod purchase. At $90, I'm not sure you could get a better photo tri-pod for general use photography. It's lightweight, stable, and looks great. Just buy this tripod already, you won't be disappointed.

enjoy this compact yet pretty tall tripod. I use it for my DSLR on each photoshoot. Great for landscapes and Time lapses
