Leofoto Carbon Tripod LSR-324C+LH-40 Rapid Ranger

Leofoto Ranger LS-324C Carbon tripod with LH-40 ball head

A very strong tripod. Robust anyway, it is in view of its strength - load capacity 15 kg - also quite light to call (own weight 1,950 g).

The

ball head included in the set is also designed for a load of 15 kg and weighs 540 g.

Carrying large cameras with long lenses is the job of this ideal combination of tripod Ranger LS-324C and ball head LH-40. The Ranger LS-324C is also "expandable". By means of its "Easylink" coupling, an optional accessory arm can be attached quickly and easily - for example, to carry a separate monitor. The

tripod packing dimension is 580 mm, the maximum working height without the separately supplied center column, but with the head, is 1,390 mm. The set is supplied in a carrying bag that holds the tripod, ball head, screw-on center column, multi-tool and a set of stainless steel spikes

Leofoto Ranger series - the ultra-light but enormously stable carbon tripods

Quasi the nature of the compact and lightweight Leofoto Ranger tripods is nature. On days of photo stalking, every gram and every millimeter counts to minimize the volume and weight of the luggage. But all equipment must not only save space and weight, but also meet very high requirements. Stability under all circumstances, that is the requirement.

The

required lightness is ensured by the material, carbon

,

whose stability and freedom from vibration "grows" with the number of its layers. Apart from the Traveler tripod series and the monopods, Leofoto tripods are made of ten-layer carbon. The deliberately modular design of all tripods in the Leofoto Ranger series - the center column is not built in, but only attached when required - makes it possible to limit luggage to the bare essentials.

With their small diameters, the head plates of the Ranger series are also subordinate to the space-saving concept. And because they are CNC-milled from strong aircraft aluminum, they are absolutely accurate. The head plate screw has a 3/8" thread in each case. The tripod legs - each consisting of three to five leg elements, depending on the model - glide smoothly and without twisting. They are fixed in place by securely gripped, rubberized twist locks. Unwanted vibrations are absorbed by the rubber feet. If necessary, they can be replaced with the supplied stainless steel spikes or optional snow and sand feet.

Leofoto Ranger LS-324C Carbon Tripod - big, strong and very variable

All tripods in the Ranger series come with a center column, but this is not built in, but screwed on when needed. This is an optimal solution when it comes to taking only the bare essentials on the road. If you don't mind carrying more luggage, you can pack the separate center column. With it, the working height of the Ranger LS-324C increases up to 1,710 mm.

The

tripod can also be made completely flat, in which case macro photographers in particular are in their element with the lowest possible working height of 170 mm. 32, 28, 25 and 22 (diameter in mm) are the characteristics of the four segments of each tripod leg, which can be smoothly pulled apart or pushed together.

Leofoto LH-40 ball head - compact but enormously powerful

Precisely CNC-machined from black anodized aircraft aluminum, with built-in spirit level. Easy-grip knobs make it simple to adjust friction smoothly, but always precisely. A scale helps with its control.

A

horizontal rotation of 360° is a matter of course, and two appropriately dimensioned notches in the ball base allow the ball (40 mm diameter) to be tilted vertically up to 90°.

With a net weight of only 540 g, the Leofoto LH-40 ball head can handle a load of 15 kg. In view of this force, its overall height of 85 mm is nevertheless so low that the center of gravity is low and reduces unwanted vibrations. With 3/8" tripod thread. Also making work easier is the built-in quick-release coupling; it comes with an Arca-Swiss QP-70 QR camera plate
