Leofoto LB-60N / LB-65 / LB-75 / LB-75S Leveling Base Quick Adjust Horizontal Heads

I needed a small leveling base for one of my lightweight tripods that is from another manufacturer. I have the Leofoto LB-75 for my heavy duty tripod. The LB-75 operates extremely smoothly, so I decided to order the LB-60N.

The LB-60N appears to be very well made and is a good choice for a lightweight / travel tripod. Alas, as others have commented, the locking mechanism for the LB-60N is not smooth and as easy to operate as the LB-70. The locking for the the LB-60N of more of an "on-off" mechanism rather than a smooth variable tension as on the LB-75.

I plan to keep the LB-60N since it is functional. A smooth variable tension mechanism would change my rating to 5 stars.

I bought the base to go with a new Robus tripod and was immediately impressed. I have a Leofoto 284cex with an integrated leveler but I like the one on the LB-65 better. It is easy to lessen and tighten the collar but it stays put when tightened. The leveling action is also smooth. Another thing I like are the set screws that tighten against the head to prevent any turning of the leveling base. It is a good price for a quality piece of equipment.

My experience with a recently purchased Leofoto leveling base (LB-65) is very positive. The base is very nicely machined, and it attaches easily and securely to my Leofoto tripod and gimbal head. Definitely recommend. Packaging, shipping and support have all been excellent.

Would have been better if it came with a 3/8” thread for a bag at the bottom but other than that works well.

Hate to sound like a fanboy but, like everything else I've bought from Leofoto, this is a sweet piece of kit. Attaches easily to my tripod and super easy to level the camera.
