Product Review: K&F CONCEPT 90-Inch Tripod with Detachable Monopod
I’ve been testing out the K&F CONCEPT 90-inch magnesium-aluminium alloy tripod, and it’s a good choice for photographers who need height, flexibility, and stability in one package.
This tripod extends up to 2.3 meters (90 inches), which is fantastic for overhead shots, portraits, or when you just need that extra height. Despite its reach, it’s surprisingly lightweight thanks to the magnesium-aluminium alloy build, and it folds down compact enough to carry without too much hassle.
One standout feature is the reversible centre column, perfect for macro photography or flat lays where you want to shoot straight down. It can also be tilted upward for astrophotography, giving you more creative options. However, it does need to be stabilised well for safety at these angles. A clip or hook at the bottom of the top centre pole for hanging your camera bag or counterweight would have been a great addition, especially for a flat lay. I missed that extra security. However, it does have a hook on the bottom part of the centre pole. I did find it felt kind of flimsy at full extension. So I don’t recommend that.
The wide base gives good stability at standard heights, and the twist locks on the legs are fast and firm, making setup quick. The tripod feels very sturdy in normal use. But at full extension, it’s not overly stable, which is to be expected with such an extra-tall design—something to keep in mind if you’re mounting heavier gear. Hence, weighing the bottom pole with a camera bag or such.
The ball head is smooth and easy to adjust, with a quick-release plate and lock system that feels secure. For even more versatility, one leg detaches and doubles as a monopod—handy when you want mobility without sacrificing support.
