Folded length, maximum height and a load figure that is static · review

K&F CONCEPT KF09.126, 190 cm, 4 kg head, 1.35 kg review

A 4 kg head rating, pentagonal tubes and two quick-release plates for 35 € — the only tripod here whose load figure is attached to the part that actually holds the camera.

By Jean-Benoit Buisson

The bottom line Thirty-five euros buys 190 cm, a head rated at 4 kg with the rating attached to the head, pentagonal tubes, a ballast hook, horseshoe feet, two plates and a remote. It never names the lock type or the section count, and like every page here it quotes its height with the column up.

On the listing

Seven bullets. A compact design with pentagonal profile tubes, folding to 46 cm and weighing 1.35 kg; height adjustable from 48 to 190 cm; a composite triangular structure with pentagonal aluminium legs resistant to compression and twisting, and a hook at the bottom of the centre column for hanging a camera bag to add stability; a 3-way head with a 4 kg load capacity, 360 degrees of pan, tilt from minus 70 to plus 100 degrees and a quick-release plate for portrait and landscape; a raisable centre column adjusted by a single knob; horseshoe-shaped rubber feet for omnidirectional grip on non-level surfaces; and a box containing two quick-release plates, a phone and tablet holder and a Bluetooth remote.

Four kilograms, and the page says which part

The only load figure on this shelf attached to a component. The hub above explains why that matters: legs and head are rated separately and the lower figure governs. Here the 4 kg belongs to the 3-way head, so it is the ceiling to work with and the legs are not the constraint.

A hook, and what hanging a bag actually does

Weight at the centre lowers the centre of gravity and damps vibration before it reaches the camera. It is the least expensive stability improvement available to a light tripod, and this is the only page here that provides for it.

Horseshoe feet, for ground that is not flat

The sixth bullet describes them as giving omnidirectional grip and adapting to non-horizontal surfaces. On grass, gravel or a slope that is the difference between three points of contact and three points of slipping.

Two things the page never says

No lock type — no mention of twist collars or flip levers, on a listing that describes the cross-section of its tubes. No section count either, so the packed length of 46 cm is a fact without the explanation behind it.

Availability

Between 35 € and 40 € on the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores when this page was last checked.

The American and British Amazon stores carry it too, priced in local currency. Those amounts are deliberately absent from the range above, which reads euro stores only.

Everything in this section is the figure Keepa carried on the day of the last update to this page. Availability and prices shift without notice.

What it does well, and what it gives up

Strengths

A 4 kg rating stated for the head specifically, which is the part the hub above says governs
Pentagonal tubes, a hook under the column for a bag, and horseshoe rubber feet for uneven ground
Two quick-release plates, a phone and tablet holder and a Bluetooth remote in the box

Compromises

The lock type is never named, on a page that describes the tube cross-section
No section count, and no height with the column down
1.35 kg, which is the middle weight here and the price of the extra rigidity

Specifications

Heights with and without the column	48 to 190 cm, in the second bullet, level with the Nineigh at the top of this shelf. The fifth bullet describes the raisable centre column separately, which is closer to what the hub above asks for than any other page on this shelf — it names the column as a distinct stage of the height — without ever giving the figure reached without it
Folded length	46 cm, in the first bullet, alongside the weight. The first bullet also explains why: a pentagonal profile tube and a design that folds compactly
Sections	Not published as a count. The third bullet describes the legs as high-grade aluminium alloy with pentagonal tubes, credited with resistance to compression and twisting, and never says how many segments there are
Lock type	Not named. Neither twist collars nor flip levers appear on the page — an odd omission next to a bullet that describes the tube cross-section in detail
Declared load	4 kg, and the fourth bullet attaches it to the right part: it is the load capacity of the 3-WAY HEAD. The hub above says the head and the legs carry their own ratings and the lower of the two governs; this is the only page here that states which component the figure belongs to, which makes it the most honest load statement on the shelf even though other pages quote a larger number
Material	Aluminium alloy with pentagonal tubes, in the first and third bullets, at 1.35 kg. Pentagonal rather than round is a stiffness claim: a non-circular profile resists twisting better than a round tube of the same wall thickness
Head included	Yes, a 3-way head with 360 degrees of pan and tilt from minus 70 to plus 100 degrees, in the fourth bullet, with a quick-release plate usable for portrait and landscape. The seventh bullet adds two plates, a phone and tablet holder and a Bluetooth remote
Amazon reference	B0DFW5XGYN (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
EAN	6942052558402

What people ask before they commit

Why does it matter that the 4 kg figure belongs to the head?

Because a tripod is two products bolted together, each with its own rating, and the lower one governs — the hub above states this plainly. A page that publishes one number without saying which part it describes leaves the buyer to hope. This one says the 3-way head carries 4 kg, which means the legs carry at least that and the head is the limit to plan around.

What is the hook under the column for?

Hanging weight. The third bullet suggests a camera bag, and the effect is real: mass at the centre of gravity lowers it and damps the vibration a light tripod otherwise passes to the camera. It costs nothing to include and no other stability upgrade is free — which is why its absence on the other pages here is worth noticing.

Are pentagonal tubes more than marketing?

They are a genuine stiffness claim. A tube resists bending and twisting according to its cross-section as much as its wall thickness, and a non-circular profile with flat faces resists rotation better than a round tube of the same weight. The first and third bullets make the claim without quantifying it, which is the usual position — but the geometry behind it is sound.
