Leofoto TP-100 Top Mounting Platform for LN-404C
If you’re running a heavy-duty system like the LN-404C, the Leofoto TP-100 Top Mounting Platform is basically the “proper foundation” upgrade that ties your whole tripod setup together. It gives you a solid 100mm flat platform so you can mount professional tripod heads securely without any wobble or sketchy play. Everything about it feels overbuilt in a good way — CNC-machined aluminium, rock-solid 3/8" mounting screw, and extra features like accessory threads and a hook for counterweights. It’s the kind of base plate you fit once and then completely forget about because nothing about it lets you down in the field, whether you’re shooting wildlife, video, or long telephoto work.

The Leofoto TP-100 Tripod Plate is designed specifically for the LN-404C and Summit LM-4 Series carbon tripods, featuring a 100mm diameter to accommodate a wide range of professional tripod heads. It comes equipped with a 3/8-inch tripod screw for easy mounting. The plate is CNC-milled from black anodized aircraft aluminium, providing a durable yet lightweight construction. At the bottom, a hook is included for attaching a counterweight, enhancing the tripod’s stability.
Additionally, a special counter screw is provided to securely mount a tripod head to the plate, ensuring that your equipment remains firmly in place. The TP-100 is compatible with Leofoto Summit carbon tripods, which are renowned for their stability and lightweight design. These tripods feature a wide, removable tripod plate and lack a centre column, minimizing vibration and increasing sturdiness. The plate also includes UNC 3/8 screw holes on the sides and bottom for attaching accessories such as a magic arm or smartphone. For added convenience, a level is integrated at the top of the plate to assist with precise positioning.
