Leofoto LH-40 Overview
An excellent ballhead from Leofoto featuring a knob-driven clamp, the LH-40 Low Profile Ball Head comes included with a quick release plate that attaches to your camera.
With a fixed height of 2.7″ and a large ball diameter of 1.6″, the low-profile design of this ball head allows it to safely support equipment as heavy as 20kg (40lb)
The LH-40 is compatible with Arca Swiss type plates, and features a bubble level as well as distance markings at the top right next to where the plate is attached. A large knob on the right side is used for panning 360°, with notches on the base enabling 90° tilt in two directions for easy portrait shooting. Independent pan lock and friction control knobs are also available and can be used to easily fine-tune your composition. With a weight of just over half a kilo, the ball head is made of anodized aluminum for durability and goes on any tripod with a 3/8″-16 screw.
