Leofoto LH Series LH-55PCL 36mm Low Profile Ball Head with PCL-70 Panning Clamp and QR Lock System - Max Load 25kg

The Leofoto LH Series LH-55PCL 36mm Low Profile Ball Head with PCL-70 Panning Clamp and QR Lock System is a robust and versatile addition to any professional photographer's toolkit. Engineered to withstand extreme temperatures from -30°C to 60°C, this ball head employs high-quality Nichimoly lubricants from Japan, ensuring reliable performance in a wide range of environmental conditions. Each unit is precisely assembled using durable parts, guaranteeing long-lasting functionality.

Constructed from the international standard 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, the LH-55PCL boasts exceptional strength with a hardness rating exceeding 18 degrees. This material choice not only contributes to its durability but also ensures a lightweight yet sturdy build, capable of supporting a maximum load of 25kg. This makes it an ideal choice for photographers using heavy camera equipment.

Leofoto's ball heads, including the LH-55PCL, are designed for professional use, offering superior stability and ease of use compared to traditional 3-axis pan-tilt tripod heads. The low height profile of this ball head enhances its reliability, while the ergonomic large main locking knob allows for effortless handling. The precisely machined ball delivers silky smooth movement, and the dual drop-notches enable quick transitions between landscape and portrait modes, as well as other shooting angles. The drag tension knob, marked with numbers, provides better control over the tension, and the laser-engraved scale on the panning base facilitates precise control during panoramic shots.

A standout feature of the LH-55PCL is its newly designed locking system. Composed of three sets of tightly overlapped domes and a single brass washer, this system ensures super strong and durable locking capabilities. The innovative clamp can hold up to 25kg when fully locked, offering a high level of security for your equipment. The quick release (QR) system allows for faster and easier installation and removal of cameras, significantly reducing the time required for setup. The locking lever features a full range of motion with three distinct positions—open, half-way, and locked—providing flexibility and convenience during adjustments. In the half-way position, the plate remains secure within the clamp, allowing for precise positioning without the risk of it lifting out, provided safety stop screws are installed.

The low-profile design ensures the lever does not protrude above or below the clamp, maintaining a sleek and unobtrusive form factor. This meticulous attention to detail in design and functionality makes the Leofoto LH Series LH-55PCL 36mm Low Profile Ball Head with PCL-70 Panning Clamp and QR Lock System a top choice for photographers seeking reliable, high-performance support for their camera gear.
