Leofoto LQ-284C Carbon Tripod with LH-36 Ball Head. Highly stable and multifunctional. The Leofoto LQ-284C Carbon Tripod has a compact size of just 54 cm (with head) and reaches a maximum working height of 158 cm, thanks to the removable center column and the LH-36 ball head. A unique feature of the LQ tripods is the interchangeable center column system. This can be quickly removed by operating the lock, which also applies to the included ball head. The tripod can also be used without the center column to save weight and packing volume. Additionally, this allows for working close to the ground. The Q tripod, as well as the ball head, can support a load of up to 12 kg. With a weight of only 1.62 kg, the set is a compact, functional, and stable companion for on-the-go use. The carbon center column is included in the complete set along with the ball head. A multi-tool, a carabiner, and a set of stainless steel spikes are also included - all packaged in a sturdy transport bag. The LQ-284C features two standard thread connections on the side - one with a 1/4" thread and one with a 3/8" thread. This makes the tripod versatile and able to be expanded with accessories such as smartphones, flashes, reflectors, etc. Compatible accessories (not included in the set): LBQ-50S leveling head.
