Compact, sturdy and surprisingly versatile
I actually ordered the K&F Concept light stand as an addition to my LED panels and softboxes in my home studio, but now I use it almost everywhere — be it for product photography, video setups or even outside during a portrait shoot with a clip-on flash. To be honest, I didn't expect too much for the price — I was all the more surprised when I unpacked it. The stand is really compact when folded — just around 43 cm long and comes with a simple yet functional carrying bag. This makes it very easy to transport and also fits well in a photo backpack or travel luggage. The material looks higher than the price suggests: anodized aluminum with robust plastic clips that can be locked cleanly. The orange accents actually look pretty stylish. What really impressed me is the stability: Even at full height (up to 2 meters!) The stand remains surprisingly stable — especially when you set your legs in an 80° position. The option of weighing the whole thing down with a sandbag on the hook provides even more safety — for example outside when it's windy or on uneven ground. The leg angles can be adjusted in three steps, which is particularly practical when working with limited space or want to position the stand in a corner, for example. The 1/4 inch port works easily with my LED lights, smartphone mounts, or small monitors. I wouldn't recommend the tripod for camera applications — it doesn't have a rotatable or tilting head plate — but it is ideal for lighting technology. The middle bar is divided into four sections and can be quickly adjusted in height. It works quickly and without snags. A nice bonus: When moving in and out, I installed small rubber bumpers on the clamps (as recommended by another reviewer) so that the pipes don't hit each other when pushed together — making the whole thing even more durable. Conclusion: For around 40€, you get a really well thought-out, lightweight and sturdy lighting stand that not only looks good in the studio but also when used on the go. Quick to set up, safe to stand up and compact when packed — ideal for content creators, amateur photographers or video people who are looking for reliable equipment at a fair price. A clear recommendation from me.
