Leofoto Poseidon LP-284C 10 Layer Carbon Water, Sand and Dust proof Corrosion Resistant Titanium Feet Tripod with LH-30 Ball Head - Max Load 10kg, Min 160mm to Max 1290mm
The Leofoto Poseidon LP-284C 10 Layer Carbon Water, Sand and Dust Proof Tripod with LH-30 Ball Head is a lightweight travel and field tripod designed specifically for harsh environments where saltwater, sand, and moisture would normally damage standard gear. With a 10kg load capacity, 10-layer carbon fibre construction, and a working range from 160mm up to 1290mm, it’s built for low-angle shooting, travel photography, and coastal or riverside use, while the corrosion-resistant titanium components and sealed twist-lock system help keep it reliable in wet and gritty conditions. The included LH-30 ball head adds smooth, precise control in a compact setup.

Leofoto Poseidon LP-284C Carbon Fiber Tripod engineered to withstand the harshest conditions without compromising performance. Crafted with Toray 100% 10-layer carbon fibre leg tubes featuring a cross rhombus structure, this tripod delivers unparalleled strength, stability, and minimal vibration.
Designed to endure water, sand, and dust, this tripod boasts a maintenance-free system, saving valuable time for photographers/shooters and enhancing efficiency. Its anti-twist technology, with three embedded silica gel mats, ensures stability even in water.

Safety and anti-rotation are prioritised with three set screws on the top plate to secure the ball head, providing peace of mind during shoots. The included LH-30 Ball Head features a low-profile design for enhanced reliability, with an ergonomic main locking knob for easy handling and smooth movement.
