Reddit reviews K&F Concept 62'' DSLR Tripod, Lightweight and Compact Aluminum Camera Tripod with 360 Panorama Ball Head Quick Release Plate for Travel and Work (TM2324 Black)

I use a MeFOTO travel tripod and a KF Concept travel tripod.

Both are nice. The KF is a little large for a carry on, but it fits nicely in luggage. The MeFOTO is small enough to attach to the outside of my camera bag carry on.

The KF is a bit sturdier and has a higher weight capacity, and is also cheaper. So I’d recommend that one unless you need to take the tripod as a carry on.

That's what I have. If you can I'd do the field tripod from hog saddle but you need to buy a hog saddle/pig saddle or a ball head for it. I haven't had a issue with mine but you can get crazy with tripod prices RRS. All depends on if your gonna do PRS or just shoot.

I bought this one

I absolutely love it for the price.

It's well built, strong, rugged and quite compact. I've taken it everywhere and it's never failed me once. I've had it in rivers, covered in sand, covered in mud, windy conditions and uneven terrain, sometimes all at once.

It's awesome. Can't get any better for that price.

Congrats on your new camera! You'll love it.
At first I bought the Amazon basics tri pod and was very disappointed by it. In fact it was the first item I ever returned to Amazon.
This is the tri pod I ended up getting and am very happy with the quality.

I use this, it works great and seems to be basically the same product. Maybe slight differences in quality, but if you are using it simply for some upside down shots I doubt there would be much of a difference.

ok nice, still a little expensive, ive found this on amazon that is a lot cheaper but looks similar and has good reviews. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Concept-Lightweight-Magnesium-Aluminum-Panasonic/dp/B015CGRREI/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1486822210&sr=8-9&keywords=ball+head+tripod

Is this tripod trustworthy? I'm no pro but i'd like something to last a few years for when I get to try out astrophotography. Or is there anything better on the prime day deals that you'd recommend for under $100?

I have and use a 3 Legged Thing Punks tripod and am satisfied with it (center column and 1 leg separate to form a monopod). But some of those newer knockoffs would be tempting if I were looking right now. This sort of thing doesn't sound too bad: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015CGRREI/ref=sspa_dk_detail_5?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B015CGRREI&pd_rd_wg=DLxya&pd_rd_r=MQN5Z163J2E1CH2ZDB0B&pd_rd_w=vnoIT

The age-old advice on tripods has always been buy-once, cry-once and you get what you pay for; but for most of us, these cheaper models may be sufficient enough.

Sturdy, cheap, light. Pick 2.


For cheap and light I have one of these: https://www.amazon.ca/Concept-Professional-Aluminum-Release-Light-weight/dp/B015CGRREI/ref=sr_1_9?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1525099773&sr=1-9&keywords=tripod


It works ok as long as it's not too windy and you don't use too big a lens.


For sturdy I have a big old large format I got for free from a friend. It weighs about 20lbs and is made of metal, but it doesn't move ever.

Last question, sorry for bugging you again:

This tripod? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Concept-Lightweight-Magnesium-Aluminum-Panasonic/dp/B015CGRREI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

That is a video tripod and the head is not at all what you want. A standard 'ball head' is the most flexible and easiest to use for photography. With tripods/heads, you really get what you pay for. This one is an ok cheap option from amazon:

You don't need a super heavy and tough tripod for a m43 camera, i'd just get one like this with clamp locks on the legs, a decent arca swiss plate ball head than pair it with an L bracket so can can easily switch between portrait and landscape.

I'm thinking of buying the iOptron Skytracker soon. What's a good tripod that would support it and my camera (Nikon D3200 with 55-200mm lens)? I was thinking of buying this K&F Concept TM2534 tripod and ball head. Would that be sturdy enough for the Skytracker and D3200, and is the ball head good quality? Do I need something better? Thanks.

The K&F Concept 62" Tripod. This thing is the best tripod I've ever bought (granted, I've only owned 2 others). It's a 'budget' tripod but this thing is built very well. I find it the perfect size for my hikes, and it's pretty lightweight. It's also Arca Swiss, which is great! I've owned it for about 6 months now, and this thing is still looking and feeling brand new despite the abuse I've thrown at this thing - beach trips, hikes, I even dropped the damn thing off a 2m cliff and it didn't even have a scratch.

K&F 62'' aluminum tripod or Neewer CF 66'' tripod?

They are $100 and $120 respectively. I am going to use my tripod for urban-landscapes and landscapes

Depends on your budget and you call cheap:

I have - K&F Concept Camera Tripod https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B015CGRREI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1gwozbX0CVB2S

And this does me perfectly fine. Nice ball head and the panning is nice and smooth on it even tho I'm yet to find a good reason to use it but I have messed around with it
