The K&F Concept 64in/163cm Travel Camera Tripod with Phone Holder takes second place in this guide. It is a four-section aluminium travel tripod with a metal ball head, a phone holder, a quick release plate and a carrying bag, listed at £45.99 with a 4.6 rating from 4,369 reviews.

The listing disagrees with itself on the part photographers care about most. The bullets describe a 36mm metal ball head, and the Item Highlight repeats "Load Capacity 8kg, O2341A1+BH-36". The Model Number field on the same page reads K234A0+BH-28L — that is a 28, not a 36. The folded length is also stated three ways: 15.3 in/39 cm in the bullets, 15.35 in in Item Length, and 39 cm/15.4 in in Folded size. Everything below comes from the Amazon listing as it stands; we have not handled or measured this tripod ourselves.

What buyers actually say

Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon

Verified purchase

“Very good build quality and perfect size to fit in my backpack inside it's carry case. I don't do photography, in my case it will hold a monitor to fly drones on, but it is very versatile in terms of leg adjustments and the ball head is great for angling to avoid glare. Its even small enough that I can set it up in my car boot for shade if needs be.”

“Nice ball and socket head design. Bought it for use with a projector and it works well. If you have something quite heavy (>5kg) and you want to angle it, then the ball and socket might not stay in place. Needed my projector fairly horizontal so it was no problem for this stand.”
