This is the tallest and most durable tripod I've bought for outdoor photo shoots. Since the photos and descriptions on the product page are detailed and show what the tripod can do, I'll focus on the un-highlighted functions and features that I appreciate about the K&F S210 Concept tripod. This tripod includes a KF-28 pan head and holds my Sony Mirrorless AIII camera with a long G telephoto lens attached. The 1/4-inch screw in the Arca-Swiss quick-release plate for holding all of my previous mounting adapters. The wide spread and thick tubular metal legs even allow me to hold my camera gear almost to the ground with its long legs and red metal spring loaded adjusters. This tripod uses metal components except for the rubberized texture on the legs for the twist-lock mechanism. This is comfortable and provides support for quick setup, and the foam-covered leg can be twisted and rotated to form a tripod with an extension tube. These leg extension mechanisms do not catch cords or clothing like the traditional plastic flip clips. For storage and transport, it folds down to under 20 inches and weighs just over 4 pounds. This tripod can be stowed in my backpack or strapped to the outside. Most tripods provide an inferior bag made of flimsy fabric with a small, fragile zipper and an uncomfortable strap. Since K&F Concert Concept also makes high-quality photo backpacks (I can speak from experience as I own one of their backpacks), the company gives you a great tote bag that's worth $30 alone. The bag has a durable exterior and thickly padded surfaces hidden between the gray thick fabric layer and black nylon interior that easily cleans from the tripod feet when dirty. On the top of the bag there is a reflective strip that is 2.5 cm wide and goes around the bag. I wasn't aware of this until I was on an evening shoot and the light caught the bag.

wanted a quality tripod for long exposures and am very happy with it. I left it on the shore while the tide came in and the water didn't shake it, and the photos turned out beautifully. I've also used it for product photography and can get a nice angle. It's quick and easy to set up and store away

Worked great for about 10 months, just short of its warranty period, then the rubber feet started falling off easily and won't stay on, and now as a result this s210 feet won't grip flat and concrete surfaces which is where I mostly use it in so now its not as study and stable anymore, especially during long exposure photography. Also some of the knobs on the ball head seem to be starting to wear out and not tightening as much as it used to, but the main problem is the rubber feetI can't find any replacements rubber feet because they seem to be proprietary and K&F don't sell them separately. I tried reaching out to them on their website but they take forever to respond with their almost non existing customer service and when they did they also gave me no solution and haven't answered me back since.Update:K&F Concept reached out to me shortly after my review and resolved my issue, my s210 is now working flawlessly again. For this I will give them 5 stars
Work great until it started falling apart, but the issue was resolved

I had a ranger that I lost and replaced with this one. Overall it's ok. It's slightly longer than the Ranger and heavier to pack. The bullet adjustment levers took a little getting used to and struggle to engage with the weight of a large lens. Overall good value for money and does what you need.

I've had several tripods in my life, but none have been as quiet as the K&F Concepts 78-inch 360-degree ball head tripod. After reading the attached documentation (1 small piece of paper), I went to YouTube and watched some videos on the tripod. Ken Franks website was also very informative. So far I have found no "disadvantages" s.Tripod. I took photos in every position imaginable, even tried hanging the camera upside down and got some great close-ups of ants, bugs, spiders and yes even grass. Life in the south at this particular time depends on the weather. I can't wait to get out there and do some landscapes and see the results. If you are looking for a tripod for your camera that is great quality without breaking the bank I would highly recommend this tripod. I have the 78" version as I'm 6ft 3" tall. Ken has other styles and sizes. Look at her. You won't go wrong!

Am using Canon 6d mark 2 with a heavy 70-200 mm lens and it works well for me!The tripod has good build quality, is very steady even for heavy equipment , is lightweight, folds up very small, easy/fast setting up and comes with a nice carrying case. Good deal for the price!
Great-performing tripod for the price!

Without the ball head I would give 5 stars. It doesn't lock down well with a spotting scope or a heavy lens and camera body on it. I ended up buying a Neewer pan/tilt head which luckily fits the K&F tripod nicely. Other than that, it's a decent device. Just keep in mind that it's a travel tripod and won't give you a solid mount that's impervious to wind or manual adjustments. For that, I keep looking for that elusive, affordable tripod.

Aside from buying some ultra-pro gear, which is a bit of overkill, this unit handles everything tripod-related, and if you buy the full version, the accessory includes a small spirit level, so no more shaky horizons or unwanted converging verticals available. You can also get the best shots to start with instead of running around with unsquare images in photo software afterwards. Mainly aluminum apart from some plastic latches and rubber feet so doesn't get loose and wobbly too quickly like those cheap generic badged tripods. Also comes in a cute tote bag with adjustable straps. Couldn't fault it.

K&F Concept Camera Tripod K234A7 + BH-28L + Extension Arm Kits I only uploaded 1 of the 2 videos and preferred the second one in which I explain how and where to put the different parts as the manufacturer includes a slim guide as on the photo shown. Assemble the pieces by looking at the various presentation photos, it would be 4 stars for this particular one but the tripod is worth the 5 stars. The supplied short pole is 30cm long, while the closed stand reaches 50cm. How I use the tripod is very easy to use and see the various reviews for more measurements and opinions on how well it works. Just saying I use it with Tamron 150/600 G2 on Nikon D7200 and Celestron Ultima 80 Spotting Scope both on the head ball that comes with it and the gimbal to replace it but only on a smooth tripod without the extension pole that I use have not tried. Relatively light excellent transport bag with reflective insert and shoulder strap with padded shoulder strap. The head comes with a one-for-all attachment and is of the Arca-Swiss compatible type.

like how stable this tripod given it’s a very light camera tripod. I use it with a 70-200 lens and a heavy body on it and it’s still stable even when used at its tallest configuration. Another important feature for me is that when you fold it, unlike many others it fits in your backpack and you won’t have to carry an additional bag.
Fits in your backpack. STABLE: won’t get knocked off easily
