Leofoto LS-342C Carbon Tripod + LH-40 Ball Head

Leofoto LS-342C Carbon tripod

Large, strong and very variable

An extremely robust tripod with remarkable stability and an impressive load capacity of 15 kg. Despite its strength, it is surprisingly light, weighing just 1,950 g. The ball head supplied is also designed for a load capacity of 15 kg and weighs 540 g. This ideal combination of the Ranger LS-324C tripod and the LH-40 ball head is particularly suitable for use with large cameras and long lenses

.

The Ranger LS-324C also offers expansion options. Thanks to its "Easylink" coupling, an optional accessory arm can be attached quickly and easily, for example to carry a separate monitor. The tripod has a pack size of 580 mm and reaches a maximum working height of 1,390 mm, even without the separately available center column, but with the head mounted.

The set is supplied in a transport bag with space for the tripod, the ball head, a screw-on center column, a multi-tool and a set of stainless steel spikes

.

All tripods in the Ranger series come with a center column, but this is not built in, but can be screwed on if required. This is an ideal solution if you only need to take the bare essentials with you when you are out and about. If you are not afraid of more luggage, pack the separate center column. It increases the working height of the Ranger LS-324C to up to 1,710 mm. However, the tripod can also be 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), these are the characteristics of the four segments of each tripod leg, which can be pulled apart or pushed together smoothly

Leofoto LH-40 ball head

Compact but extremely powerful

Precisely CNC-milled from black anodized aircraft aluminium, with built-in spirit level. Easy-grip knobs make it easy to adjust the friction smoothly but always precisely. A scale helps with 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 by 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 height of 85 mm is nevertheless so low that the center of gravity is low and unwanted vibrations are reduced. With 3/8" tripod thread. The built-in quick-release coupling also makes work easier; it comes with a QP-70 QR camera plate of the Arca-Swiss type
