The versatile Leofoto Mr. Q LQ-284C+LH-36 Carbon Fiber Tripod with Ball Head is a feature-rich yet lightweight tripod with a maximum height of 62.2" when used with the convertible 12" rapid center column and a maximum height of 50.8" when used with the camera platform instead. The legs feature independent spread to achieve level positioning on uneven terrain and to allow a low perspective minimum shooting height of 6.3" while still maintaining a load capacity of 22 lb. The included low-profile LH-36 ball head is lightweight aluminum and features an Arca-type compatible quick release system. A precisely-machined ball provides ultra-smooth movements, and a large, ergonomically-designed locking knob enables the movement of the ball head to be controlled. Laser-engraved scales on the panning base provide precise control during panorama shooting, and dual drop notches provide the capability for rapidly changing from horizontal to vertical orientation.
