K&F Concept 72-inch Tripod
Score: 76/100Rankings
The K&F Concept 72" aluminum tripod offers a sturdy 8 kg load capacity, twist-lock legs, and a suite of accessories including a phone holder, remote and extra quick-release plates, making it a solid choice for DSLR and video work. Its heavier aluminum build, lack of reverse-folding legs and potential slip in the twist-lock system may limit appeal for ultra-light backpackers. Ideal for intermediate photographers and videographers needing stability and versatility on location.
The JOILCAN 74" tripod provides a tall 187.9 cm extension and a robust 6.8 kg load capacity while remaining under 1.2 kg, plus a 3-way pan head and extensive accessories. Its basic head and wind stability concerns may affect precision work. Great for vloggers and casual shooters needing height and versatility.

Professional reviewers are scarce, but the available YouTube unboxing notes the Joilcan 74" offers impressive height and low weight, positioning it as a solid travel option. However, editors caution that the lack of independent durability testing and the modest 15 lb load limit keep it from being classified as a premium solution.
Consumers consistently highlight the tripod's portability, tall extension, and quick-lock system as major strengths, while noting stability issues in wind and a basic head compared to higher-end models.
“"Best for beginners and vloggers due to its height and load capacity"”
“"Stability can be compromised in windy conditions without extra weight"”
“Super fast setup with twist locks... lightweight without feeling flimsy... great for travel/outdoor DSLR.”
Professional reviewers commend the K&F 72" aluminum tripod for its heavy-duty build, high load capacity, and smooth fluid or ball head, noting its impressive 72-inch height and stable rubber feet as standout features. However, they caution that its aluminum weight, lack of reverse-folding legs, and slower twist-lock system make it less suited for rapid, ultra-light travel compared to carbon-fiber or lever-lock competitors.
Everyday users praise the tripod's fast twist-lock setup, solid feel despite its weight, and the versatility of monopod conversion and 360° head, especially for outdoor travel photography. Recurring complaints focus on its heavier-than-desired mass for backpacking, the bulkier folded size, and occasional slipping of the twist locks if not fully tightened.
