Leofoto LSR-284C 4-Section Carbon Fibre Tripod with LH-30 Screw-Knob Ball Head - 1380mm, 10kg

The Leofoto LSR-284C 4-Section Carbon Fibre Tripod with LH-30 Screw-Knob Ball Head is a premium, compact support system crafted to meet the evolving demands of today’s professional photographers. As camera technology advances, equipment is becoming smaller and more varied, creating a growing need for lightweight, portable tripods with high performance and versatile functionality. Leofoto addresses this demand with precision-engineered systems like the LSR-284C, drawing from the same innovation behind their acclaimed LVM series for load capacity and LV series for portability.

Built from 100% Toray 10-layer carbon fibre leg tubes, the LSR-284C features a cross-rhombus structure that enhances strength, vibration resistance, and stability. Its no-column design makes the tripod more compact and inherently more stable, ideal for professionals working in dynamic environments or requiring low-angle shooting options. The semi-automatic angle stops allow effortless adjustments: simply pull out, reposition, and the mechanism automatically locks into place, delivering speed and precision in the field.

The LH-30 low-profile ball head complements the tripod perfectly, offering smooth movement with a precisely machined ball, an ergonomic main locking knob for intuitive control, and a laser-engraved panning base scale for accurate panoramic shots. With a 30mm ball diameter, 78mm height, and 47mm base diameter, it supports up to 15kg and connects via a UNC3/8"-16 mounting screw. Its screw-knob clamp and BPL-50 quick-release plate ensure a solid, secure camera attachment. Weighing just 310g, the LH-30 adds minimal weight while delivering full-featured functionality.

Engineered to withstand harsh conditions, the LSR-284C is tested to perform in temperatures as low as -40°C, utilising Nichimoly lubricants and NSK bearings from Japan to ensure consistent, smooth operation in extreme climates. The use of SUS304 stainless steel components and reinforced 6061-T6 aluminium alloy inner cores reflects Leofoto’s commitment to durability and precision engineering.

Adaptable to any terrain, the tripod includes replaceable feet, standard rubber feet for indoor surfaces and spiked feet for softer or uneven ground like mud or gravel. Each foot connects via 3/8" stainless steel screw threads, allowing seamless switching depending on the shooting environment.

As one of the most respected names in the industry, Leofoto continues to innovate professional supports that evolve with photographers’ changing needs. The LSR-284C with LH-30 ball head is a prime example, versatile, reliable, and built for the modern professional.
