K&F CONCEPT 2.0m Aluminum Foldable Light Stand with 1/4" Screw & Bag – for Ring Lights, Softboxes, etc.
SKU: KF34.038
I also wanted a type that can be used even in places with stairs or steps, so I bought it. I feel like it's pretty solid

Stands stable, very easy to adjust in height. The feet can be locked at different angles, but the adjustment handles are sometimes not easy to use as they get stuck from time to time. But you get used to everything

The tripod wasn't expensive, you have to keep that in mind. But the information is a bit misleading, because the stand only reaches 2 meters if you fully extend your legs and place them in the narrowest, i.e. shakiest position. If you want to spread your feet a little more to ensure stability even with larger flashes or lamps, we are only 180 cm away. Basically, I would say that the thing is actually only good for unleashing a clip-on flash, for example; studio flashes with softbox start to stumble. And at a height of 2 meters, the stand is so unstable because the legs are so narrow together that the height is actually reduced. Otherwise, the stand is relatively cheap, a combination of (presumably) aluminum tubes and plastic. The stand will certainly not survive very long in the harsh everyday life of a photographer, but as I said, it is also a cheap tripod. Addendum: I was contacted by K&F because of my negative review and they generously refunded the purchase price! Thank you so much for that! That really speaks for K&F and I really appreciate that! My criticism of the stand remains, of course, and I think other buyers should also know that they are not getting the effective height that is described. I will therefore leave the original wording of the review as it stands. I would recommend that K&F revise the description again, because the 200cm is simply not realistic in practice, because the tripod then stands on very narrow feet and is blown over by the slightest gust of wind.

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.

This light stand is compact and well-built for a budget product. The different sections slide easily and the locking clamps work well. However, the plastic clamps aren’t very sturdy and they’ll likely break over time with heavy usage.I used this stand about 10 times in the past month to hold a variety of video lights that aren’t too heavy. The stand has been stable and I didn’t encounter any issues. I wish the center column would drop lower without needing to spread the legs so much - this would make it more versatile in tight spaces. I don't think this stand would perform well with relatively heavy lights, even when using a sandbag.In summary, this is a good budget light stand that is best suited for lightweight setups.

The light stand comes in an unpadded but sturdy and well-made bag. It has a simple carrying strap and is also used to store and safely transport the stand. The stand is surprisingly small when folded. If the 3 legs are folded down, folded out in the first step and all rods extended, the stand actually reaches a height of 2 meters and is stable and secure. This applies in particular to indoor use under normal load. By folding out the feet by a further 2 steps, stability increases enormously. If the feet are not fully extended, a hook attached to the main joint is used to pick up weights (sandbags) and can thus significantly increase stability even in windy conditions. The feet can be folded out and locked in a 20, 50, 80 degree position. In the 80-degree position, a diameter of 116 cm is reached. That is certain. The orange anodized clamps lock securely and securely. (Plus, they just look good in contrast with the black pipes). The stand immediately creates a harmonious impression between weight and stability. The joint and clamps are made of plastic. This is obviously very stable. In any case, all parts are well made. The black coating of aluminum tubes has so far proven to be scratch-resistant. The upper 1/4" thread connection with the “spigot” (?) -Adapter allows a wide range of connections. Thanks to the small pack size, the very quick assembly and disassembly by simply folding the feet, the great stability and versatility, this stand is used much more often than expected. There is no barrier when it comes to transportation or assembly as everything is very simple. A very big advantage of this stand concept from K&F Concept. The review is no longer unbiased at this point, I just like this stand too much. The only thing missing is a second one. Therefore an unreserved recommendation and earned 5 stars in many respects. The 3 feet should not be pushed all the way to the stop. If a gap of 10 mm remains, the upper 1/4" thread connection or the transport container is better protected, as this part will then not stick out of the stand. (The rubber feet are glued on can still be removed and put back on again. Secure a 10 millimetre-long piece of hose or something similar over the feet on the lower part of the pipe so that the feet will not slide all the way into the next pipe). On the center column, I put a neutral ring over each clamp. This creates a buffer when the pipes are pushed together.

Great stability considering its collapsed size but be careful not to overload with a heavy lamp.

First of all, it is extremely lightweight. Each leg has 3 levels of angle adjustment and one stretchy leg can be deployed, so I think there is a high degree of freedom in angle adjustment even on unstable ground. However, I don't think it would be easy to put a big, heavy light on top. I actually tried putting on a video light that was about 3 kg, but when I stretched my neck, it felt quite a bit, and when a little vibration was applied, I couldn't stand it and it seemed like it would fall over. Since there is no description of load capacity, it is unclear how much equipment is expected to be placed, but basically I think it is better to consider purchasing on the assumption that small equipment will be placed. It can also be used for shooting for the time being, so I think you can consider bringing it along as a compromise when you might not need a tripod today but are uneasy.

At first I thought it could be used both for lights and for the camera, but I soon realized that its real strength lies in the support of lighting equipment. Can it be used for cameras? Yes. Is it the best in terms of functionality and ergonomics? No. The first time I assembled it, I was surprised at how easy the process is, although the angle adjustment mechanism caused me some initial confusion. You have to first loosen the tension and then adjust, something that is not intuitive at first but that after several uses becomes automatic. I have tried different height settings and the range it offers covers practically all my recording needs. What I liked the most is its stability, even outdoors with some wind it keeps the lights perfectly in position with its diffuser of more than 1 kilo without problems. The weight of the tripod itself is well balanced, not too heavy to carry but not so light as to wobble. The bag it comes with is good for storage, although I would have preferred something with more padding. For professional work with lighting it works great, for photography there are better options on the market, so I think the description as a photographic tripod is more of a translation error than something intentional on the part of K6F

Very happy with it. It feels very robust and of quality. Very happy with it for the price it has. It has a very considerable height. Very happy with it. More than recommended.
