The Leofoto LH Series ball heads are renowned for their ability to support heavy loads, lock securely, and provide fluid movement, outperforming traditional 3-axis pan-tilt tripod heads. The ergonomic design, featuring a large main locking knob, allows for easy handling and swift adjustments. Its low-profile design enhances stability, while the precisely machined ball ensures silky smooth movement.
Dual drop-notches offer the flexibility to switch between landscape and portrait modes effortlessly, while the drag tension knob with numbered settings provides precise control. The panning base, equipped with a laser-engraved scale, enables accurate and seamless panorama shooting.
A standout feature of the LH-36PCL is its innovative locking system. Comprising three sets of tightly overlapped domes and a brass washer, this system ensures remarkable strength and durability, supporting up to 18kg when fully locked. The PCL-52 Panning Clamp with QR Lock System further enhances convenience, allowing for quick and secure camera and support changes with a simple lever action.
This ball head offers a streamlined workflow, with the locking lever providing distinct open, half-way, and locked positions for optimal security and adjustment flexibility. In the half-way position, the clamp holds the plate firmly enough for easy adjustments, while safety stop screws prevent accidental dislodging.
