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 special feature of the LQ tripods is the interchangeable center column system. This can be quickly removed by pressing the release, which also applies to the included ball head. The tripod can also be used without the center column to save weight and packing volume, allowing for work close to the ground. The Q tripod, as well as the ball head, can handle a load capacity of up to 12 kg. With a weight of only 1.53 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 packed in a robust 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. Thus, the tripod is equipped for everything and can be expanded with accessories such as smartphones, flashes, reflectors, etc. The new diamond-shaped carbon structure provides additional stability while reducing weight. The LQ interchangeable system, developed by Leofoto, allows for quick switching between the center column, leveling head, and interchangeable base. The latter two extensions are also available in our shop.
