Leofoto Summit LM-323C carbon tripod

The Leofoto Summit series is designed for the larger, heavier cameras and lenses. The LM-323C is one of the lighter tripods in this series, with a carrying capacity of 25 kilos and a maximum height of 140 cm. The tripod comes without a ball head, allowing it to reach a minimum height of just 10cm. The LM-323C Summit tripod weighs no more than 1580 grams. Because the legs consist of only 3 sections, the tripod is very stable: the diameter of the thinnest leg is only 25mm, and the tripod is 61cm long when folded. It comes with removable tripod plate and half-bowl for video of 75mm diameter, a carrying bag, spikes and multitool.

The Leofoto Summit Series

The tripods in the Leofoto Summit Series are distinguished by their tremendous stability and light weight. They have a wide, removable tripod plate and no center column, which minimizes vibration and makes them very sturdy. In addition, they all come with half-bowl, making them suitable for mounting a video head as well. Optionally, a center column is available to increase the maximum working height. On the sides and bottom of the tripod plate are UNC 3/8 screw holes to which a magic arm or smartphone can be attached. At the top of the plate is a spirit level.

The extremely sturdy Summit LM-323C tripod

The Summit LM-323C tripod is intended for all heavy duty jobs with a large SLR, medium format camera or video camera. The tripod legs consist of three sections with diameters of 32, 28 and 25 mm. These are equipped with the Twistlock system and are therefore quick to unfold. The removable tripod plate has a diameter of 75mm and is equipped with a standard tripod screw 3/8 inch, making it suitable for almost any head. The tripod has rubber feet, but a set of spikes is included so you can use the tripod on any surface. This makes the tripod a real must for the professional who works with heavy equipment.

Features of the tripod

• Offset Leg Joints: Tripods must occasionally withstand significant torsion loads so it is crucial that the leg angle stops, and all other structural joints are well supported. Our patented offset leg joints fully support the leg angle stops, allowing loads to be transferred straight through the strongest elements of the tripod. This also means the tripod is more compact when collapsed.
• Rubber Ball Feet: Large diameter teardrop-shape keeps leg sidewalls from touching the ground even at the lowest settings and makes positive contact with the ground at virtually any angle.
• High visibility bullseye spirit level is embedded in the apex for accurate levelling.
• Twist Grip Leg Extension Locks: Textured semi-hard rubber allows for easy adjustments and strong grip. Anti-twist leg sections mean each twist lock can be operated independently.
• Changing Platform, Video Bowl & Centre Column. Allows quick and very secure change-out from a simple platform to a Versa Quick-Column or YB Series Levelling Base.
