Leofoto tripods feature light weight carbon fiber tubes to reduce weight while maintaining a high load capacity. The T6-6061 grade aluminum hardware is CNC machined and hard anodized, creating a durable and scratch resistant setup. The standard twist leg lock system can be quickly deployed with a quarter turn. With the tripod's variable leg angle positions, the tripod can be completely spread out, so the support can drop to a very low minimum height.
The included Leofoto DC-282C Carbon Fiber Add-On Column is an adjustable, two-section center column extension for tripods and monopods. Made up of two lightweight yet durable 10-layer carbon fiber, the DC-282C adds from 7.8 to 12.5" in height and is suitable for use with supports that have a load capacity of up to 35.2 lb. The column base has a diameter of 1.5" and an integrated 3/8"-16 threaded socket, and the top platform features a spring-loaded 3/8"-16 threaded tip that can be slid down to reveal a 1/4"-20 threaded tip, making it compatible with virtually any tripod head.
