Leofoto MR.Y LY-254C, is a state-of-the-art tripod designed for shooters who demand both portability and performance. Unlike traditional tripods with an O-shaped centre column, the Y-shaped centre column of this model allows the legs to fold closer together, reducing the packed diameter without sacrificing stability and functionality. The innovative 1-second loosening/tightening centre column lock, featuring a lever lock system, allows for quick and effortless adjustments with just one press or pull. The specially designed spider is compact and lightweight, enhancing the overall portability of the tripod.
The MR.Y LY-254C offers four angle settings, including a unique 42° option, providing exceptional stability even in windy conditions, unlike most tripods that only offer low, middle, and high angles. Constructed with 10-layer carbon fibre leg tubes featuring a cross rhombus structure, this tripod ensures greater strength, stability, and reduced vibration for precise & sharp shooting.
The single-piece shim design is stronger, more reliable, and easier to maintain compared to traditional two-piece constructions. The LH-30 low-profile ball head, with an ergonomic large main locking knob, provides easy handling and enhanced reliability. The precisely machined ball ensures silky smooth movement, allowing for precise and effortless adjustments.
