DESCRIPTION

The Leofoto LS-284C PRO Ranger Series Carbon Fibre Tripod with LH-30R Low Profile Ball Head represents a significant upgrade from the classic Ranger Series, incorporating the latest carbon fibre technology for enhanced performance. Crafted with higher density carbon fibre leg tubes, this tripod offers superior strength and rigidity while maintaining a lightweight profile, weighing just 1.2kg. Its compact design folds down to 485mm, making it ideal for photographers on the move.

Key improvements include water-resistant twist leg locks that prevent water and debris ingress, ensuring reliable operation in challenging conditions. The ergonomic angle stops now provide four distinct leg positions, 23°, 42°, 62°, and 82°, allowing for versatile setup options, including a very low minimum height of 1000mm. The apex platform has been redesigned to offer 10% more surface area for securely mounting heads, enhancing stability. The tripod also features an independent leg spread and a 1/4"-20 threaded accessory socket for added functionality.

Constructed from CNC machined, hard anodised T6-6061 grade aluminium hardware, the LS-284C PRO is both durable and scratch resistant. The twist locks enable quick deployment with a simple quarter turn, contributing to the tripod’s efficient setup and breakdown.

Paired with the Leofoto LH-30R Low Profile Ball Head, this combination provides precise control and stability. The ball head features a 30mm diameter ball and a compact height of 74mm, supporting up to 15kg, well above the tripod’s maximum 10kg load capacity. Its panning base measures 47mm in diameter, and the mounting hole is UNC 3/8"-16, compatible with a range of equipment. Weighing just 345g, the ball head is a perfect lightweight complement to the sturdy tripod base.

Together, the LS-284C PRO tripod and LH-30R ball head offer a robust, versatile, and portable solution for photographers seeking precision and durability in a compact package.
