Versatile lightweight tripod, with lots of adjustment.
This K&F CONCEPT 73"/187cm Compact Camera Tripod, Lightweight Travel Tripod is a good value basic tripod. It’s quite lightweight and comes with a carry bag and a phone holder attachment.
The legs can be set to different opening widths using the spring-loaded ratchet clips on the top, allowing the legs to be spread very wide. There is also plenty of height adjustment in the legs. The camera plate is a sort of semi-quick release! It’s not a snap-in mechanism, but by loosening a wing nut, it will easily slide out. The mounting bolt is a standard 1/4”. There’s a hook underneath that you can hang stuff off, and this can also help create extra weight to improve stability.
When collapsed, it’s around 20” tall, but will extend to an impressive 73” and support 10Kg. The aluminium construction keeps the weight down. You can mount the central column bar either above the tripod or invert it to hang below.
The 40mm ball head enables free rotation, while the 360° panoramic base delivers smooth, precise panning. The ball head tilts 90° downward for vertical shots and can be inverted for low-angle compositions.
Ultimately, this is still a budget tripod, and has its limits in terms of ultimate stability, but given the price at the time of writing of around £60, it's a good value, versatile tool that is very useful for mounting wildlife trail cameras and laser levelling devices as well as camera phones and traditional DSLR-style cameras. Obviously, given the lightweight construction, there are some limitations in terms of overall stability and flex, but it remains a very usable tripod.
The overall impression is good, and it looks like a stylish and well-engineered item.
