K&F CONCEPT Camera Tripod, 75" Lightweight Portable Travel Outdoor DSLR Tripods for Camera Phone Video Recording Tripod Stand, Cellphone Clip for Smartphone Live Streaming Vlog, Black

AMAZING! Got this for my boss to make video messages to the company. It's so much taller (he's prob 6'1"~) than the other one we had, and the universal shoe meant he could still use the selfie circle light no problem. It was easy to set up and feels sturdy - NOT CHEAP - like it would fall over with the wind with my simlarly priced previous one. The bag is actually pretty nice with a decent zipper and not-ugly or totally random sounding branding on it, and I got this on a big sale so the under $30 price tag is incredible and frankly brought my attention to this item. It's a sea of tripods on Amazon otherwise! BTW the remote control is bluetooth. I did NOT NEED TO INSTALL ANY APPS Yay! and it worked perfectly with the iPhone for both camera and video the first time around. The instructions did say if it isn't compatible to download the "Camera 360" app. Notes in case you lose the little instruction sheet and aren't familiar with bluetooth pairing: Step 1, Pairing: A. Turn the remote on withthe power switch located at the side. The blue LED light will flicker. B. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth setting & connect to "Sensyne" in the available devices list. The blue LED light will stop flickering when connected. Step 2, Using: Open your phone's camer app. Press the button associated with your phone's operating system... NOTE: If your camera does not respond it may not be compatible......download "Camera 360..." Step 3, Filming Videos: Switch yoru phoen's camera into Video mode first. Prese the button to start/stop recording videos. Note for Samsung Cell Phones: 1. Go to camera setting scroll down and tap "volume keys function" and choose "record video." 2. Open the native camera, click the iOS button (not android) to start the video, click again to stop the video.

I have been using this tripod for about a month. Not being someone who uses a tripod a lot I decided to Give this tripod a go. I am not one to mince words and will give an honest review of this product. First thing is that K&F always seems to put out quality products for the price and this tripod is no exception. In the box: Tripod Phone Holder Camera adapter Blue tooth camera controller Pros: -Well built for the price. I have thrown this tripod in back of the car and it seems to be able to take the abuse. -Several nice accessories that help with attaching any type camera or phone you may own. -Sturdy! I have placed my heavy DSLR on this tripod and it holds it with no problem. Minimal shake if any at all. -Easy extendable legs! I have had the type that use the twist type and they always seem to fail at some point. This tripod has the locking type which allow for a variety of heights and also the piece of mind it will not slip on you. -Crazy tall. At 75 inches completely extended it definitely helps with any shot you are looking to get. -Even though this tripod is extremely tall it is made to be small and compact when stored. It is also very light for the size -Foam grips near tripod head on legs make this easy to carry and move around when extended. -Phone holder does a good job although may be a little big but it will definitely hold any size phone you have or small tablet. -The bluetooth remote paired with my phone very easily. I have an old S21+ and it worked flawlessly with the that phone. I have yet to try it with my DSLR. Cons: -At full extension it can have a little vibration but putting a camera bag on the center hook seems to alleviate the issue for the most part. Definitely not a deal breaker for me as the fact that it is this tall for the price definitely out weighs any negative effect. I never felt like it would topple over even in heavy wind conditions or unlevel surfaces. -Phone holder is huge but I understand that as it is made to hold a variety of devices. That is about it. For the price and what you get, this tripod is kind of a no brainer. The fact that K&F makes it is one plus you can not discount. I know for a fact they stand behind their products. So if you are looking for a great tripod that doesn't break the bank and gives you quality usability of a much more expensive tripod then this is the one for you.

I’m not as mobile as I once was. Because of this, I use tripods, a lot! I needed a nice, solid, flexible full-sized tripod and this tripod looked like a good choice. In the carton you’ll find the tripod and accessories in a nice nylon carrying bag with a shoulder strap. The tripod fully collapsed to about 16” high with no accessories attached. It weighs under three pounds and because of the ingenious trapezoidal legs it is less than three inches in diameter. It has a standard camera mounting screw and a bubble level at the top. The extension tube is enclosed and easy to adjust and lock. There is a hook at the bottom of the tube enclosure to hang a weight for added stability. The five segment legs are easy to adjust. The cam locking system is easy to use with one hand and locks the legs securely in place. Included, you will find: two mounts that will attach to any standard camera. The control head uses a quick-release cam system that provides a solid stable attachment. These mounts are very low profile, and you could leave them mounted to your camera during handheld use. In the photo you can see the phone holder. This unit attaches to the mount and will hold your phone in either portrait or landscape orientation. There are rubberized screw-in feet to provide a stable base and allow for small adjustments to the tripod. The control head is solid and well-built. It operates smoothly and works well for video. There is a user manual, and a Bluetooth remote for your phone. It worked nicely with my iPhone 13. I have used the tripod with some of my standard activities. I build mechanical models and like to record my progress. The unit is very stable at its full 75-inch extension and adding some weight on the hook just makes it more solid. It is rated for 8.8 lbs. I’ve had more weight than that on it for testing with no issues. I really like this tripod. It is solidly built, and comes with useful accessories. For a general use tripod, the price is great. I do wish it came with a couple of more quick release mounts. I expect to get years of use out of this unit. Highly recommended.

As a professional photographer, I've been working with tripods for over 40 years and own a bunch of them (horses for courses, each one has its place... hard to explain to my wife though!). This one from K&F is a strange piece of kit, as it wants to cover all the bases while remaining budget friendly. It does a pretty good job, but if photography is your primary focus, look at K&F's ballhead kits, as this one is not for you. So who is this kit for? Vloggers and occasional/amateur videographers primarily. It would also be quite useful when mounting bigger web cameras for video calls, OF etc. And it will absolutely excel as a cheap tripod to use with a spotting scope at the range. It may also serve you well as a vacation tripod for selfies and occasional videos, especially if you don't care about weight and long exposure photography. What are you getting with this kit? - Legs. They have flip locks, which in my opinion are the lowest tier option. However, many people seem to like them, as they are quite intuitive in their operation. Fully extended and spread out, the legs measure 59" from the mounting plate (boots installed, no head, central column fully retracted) to the ground. That's a pretty decent height! - Screw-in rubber boots, which are packaged separately for some reason. Pro tip: screw them in halfway, add a drop of Loctite to the exposed thread, then screw them all the way in. To tighten, firmly squeeze the tops of rubber cups - they'll provide a much needed grip for that. - Phone/tablet mount. It's spring loaded, so not very secure, but it's there, and it has 2 threaded mounts for a quick release plate. - Speaking of which, the kit includes 2 identical quick release plates. - Phone camera remote release. It's a typical Bluetooth "volume up" button that is compatible with both Apple and Android. How well it works would depend on your phone's BT energy saving policy, which is not always user controllable. Some phones may work perfectly, while the others (regardless of platform) will "forget" the button after some inactivity. - Last but not least, a typical low cost, bargain bin variety, video head. Let's dig a bit deeper. I'll start with the head... it's pretty bad. As others have noted, it does not align, meaning that when its base is level, the camera mounting plate is not. In my case, it's skewed about 0.7 degrees. Doesn't sound like much until you realize the implications. Another negative about the head is its quick release mechanism - it uses one of the horrendous lever releases (not an RC2) akin to what Silk and Cullmann used in their cheap heads in the 80s. Over the years I've had plenty of expensive equipment fall from these, so I'll never use one with anything that is not at least MIL-STD-810 drop proof... Other than that, its your typical ultra budget video head: "fluid" panning is achieved with silicone dampener, so there's a noticeable rebound once you stop, and the tilt axis is purely friction based. Then there's a "flip to the side" novelty mechanism, which for some reason flips the camera to the right (from the operator's POV). That would place most of the controls at the bottom; pretty strange design choice. Flipping mechanism has somewhat clicky stops that are not quite sure if they want to be there, so you could easily stop between the clicks. Everything on this head is either press fit or friction fit, so do not mount anything you're not willing to risk dropping. Now let's have a look at the legs, which are quite light for a 59" aluminium set. They look pretty good and even have foam grips for that freezing cold weather. Center column (don't extend it unless you absolutely have to!) even has a hook for loading up the legs, which is great news. Not so great news: that hook is held in place by an indent fit... it won't hold much weight; certainly don't entrust your camera bag to it. Fully extended, the legs are quite wobbly, which is expected at this price point. To alleviate the issue, retract 1-2" of each section and load up that hook. Once you do that and slap a proper ballhead on these legs, they will be "good enough" for a 30-minute long light painting or astrophotography exposures if there's not much wind. The center column is there in case if you really need an extra height for some reason. May come in pretty handy for shooting over the crowd, for example. However, as always (even the most expensive legs suffer from it), extending it reduces stability even further. Lastly, the two-faced phone/tablet holder. It will accommodate any reasonably sized device, from smartphones and tablets to field monitors and even portable projectors. Interestingly, the only option to mount it on a tripod is by a standard 1/4" screw, no built-in quick release option. And the 1/4" brass nuts are press fit in plastic, so don't overload it with stuff... which is applicable to the rest of the kit as well, as everything is either press or indent fit. Conclusion: excellent light duty budget kit with extra tall legs. My own use cases for this kit (if you were wondering why on Earth someone who's used to $1,000+ legs would buy this ultra-budget kit): 1. Holding a spotting scope at the range. 2. Occasional video use by mounting DJI Ronin to the legs directly, no head needed. 3. "Offroad" light stand, holding strobes and LED lights. 4. A lender tripod when I teach photography classes, probably outfitted with a cheap ballhead.

For the price, I doubt you will find a better tripod. I purchased this tripod because I wanted one that was light weight and therefore more travel friendly than my other one. The concern of course is that light weight often means not sturdy. I tested this tripod using my Olympus E-M1 Mrk 3 with 7-14mm lens, 12-40mm lens and 40-150mm lens in several different scenarios. I did a couple of 5 shot bracketed photo using 7-14mm, a few videos at the beach using the 40-150mm and some long exposures (10 seconds) using the 12-40mm. The tripod handled all exercises without an issue, no drifting of the head in any direction, camera stayed locked on target. The tripod includes a bracket to attach your phone to the tripod, 2 quick release plates, a Bluetooth remote for use with your phone, a hook on the bottom to hang your camera bag(or any weighted object) for added stability on windy days, and a travel pouch for the tripod. If I remember, I'll try to update this review in 6 mos to see how the tripod fares over time but right now I am very impressed with all this tripod offers at such a low price.

I couldn’t be happier with this tripod. The build quality is outstanding—sturdy, lightweight, and very well designed. It provides excellent stability, even when I’m shooting with a heavier camera and lens. The adjustable legs and quick-release plate make setup incredibly fast and convenient.

I’ve been using this tripod with my Sony FX30 + 18-105mm lens and also with my iphone and overall I’m really happy with it. It’s surprisingly sturdy - I wasn’t sure it would handle the FX30 since it’s not a lightweight setup, but for still shots it holds up great. No shaking or slipping, even when fully extended. It’s lightweight and easy to carry and I really appreciate the carrying bag that comes with it. It’s not just a cheap pouch - it’s a proper case with a handle, which makes a big difference if you’re moving between locations a lot. The height 75 is excellent - I can shoot at eye level while standing, which is a big plus. The phone holder is also super useful. It holds my iPhone securely and it works for both vertical and horizontal shooting. One small thing to note: when you angle the camera down (for example, to shoot a product flat lay or something from above), the head sometimes dips just slightly under the weight of the camera. It’s not a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of - I usually just aim it a little higher and it settles into place. Definitely a good buy for content creators or anyone who needs a dependable all-in-one tripod.

Easy to set up and use. It comes with an attachment that fits any cell phone. It also comes with a blue tooth remote control that works with the camera on your phone. It’s nice and sturdy. Definitely a great deal for the price!
