Description
The Leofoto LH-LR Series Ball Head is a great support solution in a small form factor for all general photography, and will give you fast and accurate control and solid support of your camera or lens. Aiming and horizon leveling can be accomplished as one instinctive motion, and rigid lockup takes just a quick twist of one control. Since the ball head profile is smaller and lacks the protruding handles, they are also much easier to carry and pack. These are no-nonsense heads with robust capacity, offering minimal weight and elegant simplicity. They excel as ground-level macro tools, but also as super light heads for backpacking, travel, and table top use. The head features a single ball locking knob while the panning base has a separate lock and is laser-engraved in 2.5-degree increments from 0-360 degrees for accurate repeatability. What differentiates the LH-LR is the lever release clamp which allows quick attach and de-attach versus a knob clamp that allows for maximum clamping force.

Customer Reviews
I´m using this ball head with my R6MK2 + L PLATE LPCO-R6II + 14-35 F4L or RF70-200 F4L or RF 135 F1.8L and I´m very happy with it, the LR-50 lever release is the best and it should be default in any ball head, I don´t know why companies are using the screw-nob today...
The tension setting is great and the movements are very smooth in general.
This ball head is a great upgrade to my Benro GX30 specially with the leveler release.
Great build quality. I didn´t experience yet any drift.
Build quality is excellent
Ball Head operation is smooth and easy
Lock camera is safe and secure
Price is super friendly
The lever releases are much easier to use than the traditional knob release. Additionally the 36 ball head is more than enough with modern mirrorless cameras like the Z7, providing additional weight saving.
- excellent materials
- precise design and construction
- easy quick release
- light weight
Two thumbs up and five stars!
Small and relatively light. This ball head is good value for money. All feels less smooth than the RRS heads but this is less than half the price. The lever clamp release works as expected. The ball head release, tension adjustment knob and panning lock are a little finicky- they go from zero traction to locked with very little in between which can make adjusting the camera angle tricky. The panning lock knob needs to be fully closed or open to facilitate panning - ie at the extreme ends of the range. There is no sweet spot with these controls - they fall off a cliff with little warning. This may just be the copy I have but overall a functional little ball head that is better than many.
