Leofoto LP-284C Poseidon carbon tripod with LH-30 ball head

The Leofoto LP-284C carbon tripod is part of the Poseidon tripod series. The tripods from this series possess unique properties that make them ideal for frequent use at the coast or riverbeds. The LP-284C has four leg sections and reaches a maximum working height of 129 cm. In contrast, the minimum working height of this tripod is only 16 cm, which is fine for working low to the ground.

Robust Poseidon series

The unique features of the LP-284C from the Leofoto Poseidon series are aimed at arming it against corrosion from use in wet conditions. The parts of the tripod legs and rubber feet that frequently come into contact with water are made of titanium. Titanium is known to handle corrosion well, even in seawater. The updated design of the TwistLock locking system reduces the amount of water that can run into the legs. By keeping as much water, sand or grit out of the locking system as possible, the tripod stays in top condition longer and is relatively low maintenance.

The tripod is made of 10-layer woven carbon like any Leofoto tripod, and the legs feature an eccentric blue color. The carbon makes the LP-284C tripod strong, while still remaining light in weight at only 1.55 pounds including the ball head. On the side of the tripod platform is a ¼-inch thread to expand the tripod with a magic arm or other accessory. Below the tripod platform is a 3/8-inch to place the carabiner. This allows you to weigh down the tripod. All Leofoto tripods, the Leofoto LP-284C is no exception, come with a 10-year warranty.
