Leofoto LE-284C+CB-40 Traveler Series Tripod

description
The best tripod is the one you use. The old photographer wisdom is still valid today in the age of image stabilization.

The biggest obstacle is the burden that has to be carried on a photo tour. The development of highly rigid carbon fibers for the construction of stand tubes meant a significant relief in the truest sense of the word. Compared to the usual aluminum tripod, this results in a weight reduction of up to 30% with similar tripod dimensions. Who likes to carry around a tripod that is heavier than all the rest of the photo equipment? As Fritz Pölking, one of the most famous nature photographers, said years ago: "You snap without a tripod, you take photos with a tripod".

The LEOFOTO Traveler LE-284C carbon tripod & CB-40 ball head is very stable and yet light.

Full contact angle stop
Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) milling machines cut precise molded parts from solid metal and thus ensure an excellent fit and processing of all metal parts. Compared to other manufacturers who use cast parts or forge their aluminum parts, this leads to lower manufacturing costs, but also to lower quality. The contact area between the tripod spider and the lock is larger than with other manufacturers, which leads to more stability.
Twist lock leg closure
Textured, semi-hard rubber allows easy adjustments and a good grip. Each twist lock can be operated independently of one another.
Tripod feet
All LEOFOTO tripods have removable rubber feet. So they can easily be exchanged with other accessories, such as sand or snowshoes. The right stability for every situation. The 8-layer carbon fiber tube is woven from 100% high-quality ultra-thin carbon fibers. The multi-layer design was specially developed for support applications and enables high strength, flexion stiffness and great vibration absorption properties. Each leg section is secured by the special LEOFOTO leg locks, which ensure maximum stability and are resistant to dust, dirt and water. And in no time at all, you can turn the tripod into a monopod.
