The versatile Mr. Q LQ-284C Carbon Fiber Tripod features Leofoto's most advanced technology and design. The LQ series is a lightweight tripod that comes with both an apex platform for optimal stability as well as an interchangeable center column for flexibility in height adjustments. The apex platform is CNC machined from 7075 aluminum creating the ultimate strength and durability. On the platform is a new central locking system with a "Q-shaped" design allowing the user to swap the center within 3 seconds. The LQ series tripods feature Leofoto's latest 3rd generation carbon fiber with increased density and a new "snow capped mountain pattern" inspired by nature. The legs feature independent spread to achieve level positioning on uneven terrain and to allow a low perspective minimum shooting height while still maintaining a load capacity of 22 lb.
