[@sid2399]

Think Media Currently using my hands

[@MCNotSquare]

Think Media I need this as well. I need to watch every. single. Video. Actually lol 😂

[@vaibhavpatil9104]

Think Media i am not using camera becuse i dont use camera becuse i dont have camera

[@CjLingle1]

I am currently using a Benro Tripod with an s4 video head for my GospelFilter channel and it is awesome!

[@StephenMilner]

Hi I want to share my experience with K&F with you. I purchased K&F’s TC2335 in September last year for my vlogging camera. Whilst I was away on a photography trip in December, two of the tripod feet fell off. The feet are a push on design. I contacted K&F and they told me that they don’t have spares. I asked them to replace it under warranty and they ignored me. I have contacted them a number of times and they don’t return my emails. K&F take exception to the warranties that they will honour. I would not buy from them again. Great video by the way.

[@aLoudSi1ence]

There was someone else also had the same issue. He ended up gluing with super glue. It means it is an inherited issue.

[@mm-xy9qe]

I want to start off by saying how wonderful it is to have such an honest and down-to-earth review on a product. I'm just a regular guy that loves photography and has hobby money to spend on it. You picked a real product one that all people can possibly afford and I appreciate it. It's not very realistic to watch a review on a accessory that cost more than my camera. So thank you very much

[@robertnadeau3007]

The thing I love about your Equipment on a budget is that Not only do you recommend items that are inexpensive and good for beginners but items that are also really good quality and just happened to have Alott of bang for your buck. Most budget videos they’re just showing you what’s the cheapest but most of those products have no quality to them and can sometimes make things even harder when it comes photography. With Sean he recommends budget equipment that is always super high-quality price being considered. Definitely a wealth of knowledge when it comes to video and photography and I’ve noticed I have made several great well-informed purchase decisions based on his recommendations and never regretted it once. Thanks Sean 🙏. Keep up the good work.

[@WJ6FRadio]

Outstanding video! As someone who is 6' 2" It is nice to find a taller tripod that won't break the bank! Most tripods of this caliber usually run well over $100.00. Great job! Learning tons from your videos! feature I like is quick release locks on the legs and ability to convert to a monopod.

[@Jacob-64]

This tripod is not much use for 6ft plus people . I very rarely use the centre section because they are not very steady .

[@alacritythief]

If folks are looking for a slightly smaller alternative that fits in a backpack (59.5" fully extended) the MeFoto Backpacker Air tripod is at the same price range and weight class (2lb), but also doubles as a detachable selfie stick with a bluetooth button to use with your smartphone. I also use this tripod with my mirrorless cameras and small action cams.

[@ImTheBoss914]

good looks

[@axita98]

I actually both this tripod after your review, and I am loving it, it is not heavy, easy to open it fast and really affordable tripod. Happy to support you with the amazon commisions :) thanks

[@Gigacyde]

I didn’t even know I would need some of these features in a tripod, now I don’t want a tripod without them! Thx.

[@SoulintheRaw]

The upside down thing BLEW MY MIND. Wooow - mine does that too apparently. Thank you!!!!!

[@JohnBradydoesstuff]

I'm so happy I found this channel. I'm working up to starting a channel but I am completely ignorant on all matters technical. You've been a life saver. Thank you so much!

[@fredn.2509]

I‘m using the kenfaith (k&f) TM2534T I really like it. It’s like yours but with the monopod option and also you can pull out a second extension, which you can also tilt 90 degree to the side so you can shoot over edges and stuff... just fantastic

[@travis.stevens]

LOL +1 for the sound effects at 5:40 hahaha

[@ThinkMediaTV]

🤣 Trying to step-up the production value ... lol

[@30musabboouf61]

Think Media 😂😂

[@AosThePodcast]

You have really really helped my channel.... now at 116 subscribers started before watching your videos at 65 subs

[@JordanCornwellVlogs]

I have this tripod- got it at the end of December! I totally love it :)

[@UKSTAGROSCO]

Jordan Cornwell hi Jane have you used it for video? Is it smooth?

[@AndreaJean]

Such a great video! Thanks 😊😊😊

[@Travelagent]

After very disappointing experiences with (much!) more expensive tripods from Cullmann, Manfrotto and Togopod I finally found this K&F tripod on Amazon and - what shall I say - I am totally happy with it! Top build quality and handling!

[@RelyeaGaming]

I just got a tripod similar to this but it has the spinning leg adjusters. This tripod looks way better just for that one change.

[@DMills0421]

I bought this tripod based on the recommendation in this video - I can happily say it was exceeded my expectations. I, too, am a taller guy (6'3") so the extra height was a plus. It's much more sturdy than tripods priced in this range. Thanks @ThinkMedia for the solid review.

[@toluadebiyi2613]

Can it do overhead videos?

[@TheSamya2005]

Dude I just got mine and I have to say I am really loving the build quality. Thanks a lot for the tip! Also, just wanted to mention that K&F actually sell their gear from their own site and I actually manage to get it for like 67 usd including shipment, which is crazy since on amazon and other sites it would cost like 120-140 usd (they ship free internationally) .

[@VenusNoorleila]

thanks for this!!

[@kharahJay]

Your content is really good and informative. So far I've not encountered any channel that is better. Keep it up. I go to you for anything I wanna know about cameras, youtube etc. You the best man!

[@IntegraDIY]

This is a really nice tripod I have one! This one is actually generic but rebranded. You can buy the same exact tripod from over 5 different brands. Best bang for buck for $45

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Nice! So which model did you order?

[@IntegraDIY]

Think Media I bought the Zomei Q555, they’re 99% the same product, I got mine on sale so I had to snag it lol

[@MM_MAXQ]

Thanks for the information Integra DIY, i'm gonna buy Q555 now. :))))

[@nathanfairchild4188]

Just snagged the Zomei 55 on Amazon. Seems to have identical features. $39 and right now has a coupon checkbox, so $30.

[@annaal-dean3252]

I noticed that one doesn't have the option to have a top down view, and also watched a review and it doesn't have a smooth side to side transition.

[@mungodarkmatter]

I have not had rubber feet fall off any of the tripods I have, but that is definitely one of the things I am aware of, because I have had rubber feet fall off various other types of stands including light stands and mic stands. This is a really great video review, because the hardest thing about buying a tripod online is trying to determine the build quality and how it will stand up to use.

[@paulineenewman]

This video came at the right time. I’m in need of a Tripod for my Canon 80D.

[@sadramistes]

I was thinking of getting this specific tripod for some time now. I have quite a good impression of the company because they make some good quality budget filters as well so it looks like an honest company to say the least. Thank you for the video, it just confirmed my positive thoughts about it and I will give it a go.

[@existing3035]

just ordered it tonight. hope its good. ive been into landscape photography lately and i have been needing a new tripod. guess this is it. thanks

[@stephanie.treanor]

The inverted trick PLUS the angle to make a top down shot was exactly what I needed to see! I don't have to get a boom arm! Both of your tripod reviews have been so so so helpful--thank you! (Now I just have to make a decision!)

[@ferrydrums99]

I have this tripod since last November and it is amazing for the price. I got it for only 55 euros in a lighting deal at Amazon :)

[@LewseeAhh]

Awesome review..the best detailed but straight to the point Ive seen so far. You answered all my questions.

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

That's the type of tripod landscape/nature photographers use. I used to have a similar one, loved it. Don't know where it went. I never came across one while "window shopping" since. Question of the day: Unfortunately I have a cheap video tripod. Like I said I want one like you have there but never came across one in the stores I visited. If you go out on rough terrain you'll love that tripod even more!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Sean, Does this tripod come with a cell phone mount? Or is that an additional piece of equipment, and do you have a recommendation if it is not included? Also something for an iPad? Appreciate any information. Thank you.

[@scotttovey]

I have a DIY monopod built out of PVC pipe that is held up with a Christmas tree stand. It has three telescoping 24 inch sections. It allows me to position the camera right behind my computer monitor where a web cam would be placed. Just a quick thought, if you get a Christmas tree stand and put a PVC pipe in it, you put your tripod in monopod mode and insert them into the PVC pipe. An 18" pipe would fit right into the tripod bag. Just keep in mind that stability is due to the circumference of the base so make sure to get an appropriately sized tree stand. And for portable purposes, look for one of those metal tree stands that can be disassembled.

[@LewseeAhh]

The small details are such a plus

[@OutLan]

Great review! Convinced me to pick this one up today. Amazon has it for a lighting deal at $59 for a few more hours.

[@marceloandahai7159]

I just bought mine for $15 at the swap meet

[@ItzamarySalazar]

😦

[@rubbycagreen4794]

Thank you much your videos have been helping me as a KZbin beginner so much…

[@Dontforgetto]

Haha, this video is perfect timing! I’ve been googeling this all day 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@SeanTran]

I get jealous whenever you post. I always want all the gear but to be honest I don't need them... 😂

[@sald1965]

I've owned a Manfrotto Art 190 for years. It has many of the liked features mentioned however it is best suited for studio and not necessarily field work because it's HEAVY!!

[@monasticculture5194]

Thanks for all the great reviews. Made sure I clicked your link when I brought the tripod.

[@paulbaker9277]

I just bought this model one for $63.00 AU $ it seems well made and I am very pleased with it so far , as I had to replace my 30 year old Stilz HI-low HL 31 tripod , it was made in Japan but , it lasted a for a long time.

[@eos700d6]

Just got it today and I LOVE IT! 😍

[@donovanw.2943]

Some nice features, including the ball head. Thanks for the great review!

[@portiasmith6375]

Just ordered! Thanks for the review!

[@silencenhikes6692]

Same for hiking poles just hated the twist mechanism, much faster and easier with locking.

[@rofllol255]

This is really cool. I actually found this video because I was looking at reviews for cheaper tripods because I actually want to try out making KZbin videos with just some cheap stuff to start out.

[@viktorderka6348]

Cool review, just bought mine yesterday and arrived today. Amazing stuff, real good quality, no wonder its decent German design.

[@sonicmistress]

K&F wouldn't know how to build a real Tripod, you never heard of Gitzo or Manfrotto, want quality, you won't find any here....Why are people so lazy they need to be told what to buy from a YT Salesman, your brains are numb.

[@blendering3D]

I will just buy this one, great video btw!

[@MoonbearDiedHere]

Wow the offer head switch has me sold.

[@kev-othegamer]

Thank you Sean.

[@daam7488]

gonna buy this soon, im waiting for black friday or cyber monday! yeah!!

[@AbNormalFuad]

Amazing video thank you! Lighting and sound were on point and getting straight to it!

[@hankingaround1708]

I’m a Truck Driver and space is a Premium! I have the exact same one. It’s worth the price at $79!

[@TheMattJames]

im confused, this is advertised as 62 inch, which is 5ft 1, but sean you must be 6 ft and when youre recording it is at eye level, can yo explain please?

[@supertaufiqr]

Cool. I bought a bag from K&F and seemed to be a good quality. Will be checking their tripod soon!

[@WallStreetImage]

K&F Concept have been killing it with the budget camera gear lately

[@ThinkMediaTV]

The Wall Street Image I agree 💯

[@sisteradmn]

...just what i am looking for. thanks for the great review.

[@laffilmfest3759]

Very good review....thank U!

[@AlexisMaria]

Yes! Needed a tripod for travel as checking a whole extra bag (my tripod) is annoying! Thank you

[@longislandhillbilly4780]

Was going for the Manfrotto BeFree,but you changed all that . Gonna get K&F Concept now,Thanks!

[@monjesmedia]

Sweet! May have to pick one up soon.

[@boyetucker]

Honestly this seems like it might be the perfect solution for me (also being 6ft+). I've been shopping around for a good Tripod and I believe you found the perfect one for my needs, thanks a bunch, I appreciate all the great videos!

[@GERALDT]

Just bought mine today! per your recommendation 😊 Thanks for making it so simple for me!

[@CharleneLizette]

great video!

[@scottsater]

Thank-you, Sean! Great video and very helpful! I appreciate your upbeat and informative energy! Superb presentation! One of the best I've seen! Just today I picked up the K&F Tripod from B&H Photo: the K&F Concept SA254M2 w/ Monopod and Ballhead Kit for $74.99. I was looking at Neewer, which also had a good deal. But the online gentleman from B&H pointed out the load capacity of this being 22 lbs, as well as the height of 68 inches. I'm really stoked to receive this, but especially now after your terrific video. K&F sounds like a great company for those of us not requiring a Manfrotto or Oben or Peak Design Tripod. Maybe one day, but I really like the well-built and affordable products like these! Thanks for reading! And thanks again for getting me excited about my new purchase :)!! All My Best! Scott Sater Photography, Minnesota

[@tu767]

I love your review and presentation, great, thanks

[@HiTechRohit]

Can I use it for shooting by smartphones ??

[@YomiTosh]

I’ve got the Neewer, very similar tripod but with screw locks

[@HackingHollywood]

That's helpful. I have a larger manfrotto and I was hoping to find something in this size for a B cam Tripod for interviews.

[@annderbanas]

Thank you for such a wonderful review! I bought it and I am so happy with it! Can’t wait to travel with it :)

[@Pappa_Wheelie]

sick production value, bruh!

[@jjccllgg]

I travel with a VANGUARD 235AB. Love it!

[@Richard-mz7qu]

Well done review. Thank you for sharing.

[@KeelanTatarliovvvvv]

Yup. I’m sold!

[@hahaustink]

Thanks for all the tips! You have helped me out so much in my content!

[@ChristieAdamsWriter]

Really helpful video - has helped me decide what I need!

[@rtech5347]

Dark mode on KZbin 🔥

[@utilitarian]

Thank you for this. I'm new to photography and have a relatively old Miranda Titan TP20 which although I love, is too bulky for my bag and is still nearly 24" when folded meaning I feel like a walkie talkie as it sticks up so high. I have been looking at K&F tripods and can get this one new for just £56/$75. In particular I love the inverted capability as well as the size!

[@fhdhdndhejehrjrjrkdkddkkdd1363]

thx the help me a lot now i have a travel tripod for my vlog

[@GraceJennings]

Thanks for sharing! Super helpful!!

[@skatekido06]

I wished I could show you my tripod, for my first tripod ever I bought one of those 15 dollar Walmart ones, and I regret it. Its held together by duct tape, wires, and a strong will lol. its also dropped my camera twice. saving up for a good tripod, since I take pictures alone and am usually my own subject.

[@jo2h]

Once again, Awesome job Sean! Your killing it man🖒

[@DavidHernandezLovesYou]

Thank you Sean!! Very helpful!!!!!!!

[@rychellon]

Awesome info!

[@BookYourImagination]

Great review! I have been looking for a good budget travel tripod for several months, with little success, budget being key. Thx so much!

[@donovanw.2943]

Nice review! Thank you :)

[@gregoirevassy768]

I bought it it's exellent. Thank you!

[@jkenlive]

Sheesh... Your kit picks are consistently great! Currently using a Targus from Target that has the height your talking about and some of the pro inspired features but it "isn't" pro. Works but I'm keeping my eye out for another one and this recommendation is going on my Amazon wish list!

[@CalebOliver]

Great Video! 👍🏾

[@justinstraver24]

after some research last month I bought the same tripod. Good to see it featured! Quick set-up with clips, D-ring, normal+overhead mode, not too heavy and ability to hang on extra weight make it good value for a photo enthusiast like me. I assumed a monopod feature like the TM2534 or TM2515 or second ballhead like the TM2534T wouldn't be necessary. I'm curious how the connections hold up over time.

[@jalepeno89]

Great review! I’m traveling soon and need a tripod when I came across your review of this tripod I saw on Amazon. Love the tripod and was almost gonna pull the trigger to buy one, then I noticed the lock collars. It is a budget tripod, I understand, but those locks WILL crack and fail, just a matter of time. Great review nonetheless! Thumbs up!

[@Sky-wakka]

do you think this tripod would hold a 32" manual slider without shaking too much? or without loosing stability? i assume you could spread the legs if it got too heavy but i just worry it'll shake too much to use. what do you think?

[@zeroed4x]

Great review made me want to buy it., thanks

[@runnermix7596]

Thanks Sean for this review. I was looking at Best Buy last Sunday for a second tripod. I’m glad I didn’t get one. I’m going to get that for sure.

[@ShinilPayamal]

This one is (near) perfect!

[@metalmick99]

I've been using a similar tripod to this for a while, but in order to get halfway decent height I've had to raise the centre post all the way up and with a heavy camera, I get a lot of wobble. Even when you put your arm on top of it, I saw a lot of movement. One problem is the very thin legs that these tripods have. The head on yours is the same as on mine, and sometimes the weight of my camera overwhelmed it a little - I think I can solve that with an L-shaped bracket though. Mine has 4-section legs to your three. I'm looking for something a little more stable. K&O Concept makes some good stuff though.

[@oliverdoring7106]

Hi Sean. Thanks for the video. What happens when filming with a phone, can I still use this? Cheers Oliver

[@adamallred1799]

Thanks for the review! Very helpful. Are the leg clamps plastic? I had a tripod with plastic leg clamps and they broke after a while.

[@SebastianHexMusic]

Thanks for the tips, Sean! Always coming through with the best advise for KZbinrs and content creators :) Loved your masterclass as well. To others watching, what's the most valuable thing you've learned from Sean's videos or courses?

[@LincolnintheAdirondacks]

I've been looking for a travel tripod for awhile. It would help my vlogs production quality immensely. lol. May have to order this!!

[@gericmonterrosa]

dude i was looking for this exact thing ! Yet again you read my mind.
