Leofoto LH-25 Reviews

Small and solid

I am using it with the Leofoto MT-04 tripod. The combination is perfect for small dslr or mirrorless cameras, either for table-top or ground level photography. Perfect size for packing in a camera bag.

Great For Platypod

I bought this ballhead specifically for use on a Platypod Ultra for travel. I looked through many of the options in the “mini” category and this one checked all the boxes for me for both function and design. In my use case, panning is not critical, so I preferred this being a single action, meaning there is no separate pan lock. I don’t have a need for it in my uses for this head and not having that extra locking knob does make it more compact to carry in a small travel sling bag. I have never had an issue with other Leofoto products and this is no exception. The feeling of quality for the price is very good and the performance has been great so far. I can easily put a Sony A7R5 with a 24-70 2.8 on it with zero creep which makes framing a composition very quick and I have no worries about stability.

After the base is leveled, is it possible to pan 360 degrees without the ballhead flopping around. I only see one knob for the ballhead...and one for the leveling base. What am I missing?
Asked by: Stephen
What you're missing is a separate pan knob. Personally, I wouldn't want it. I thought Manfrotto was the only company that still makes this stupid kind of head! Especially considering how popular video and panoramas have become. Not for me! There are plenty of other options. Too bad, because it does look nice and the price is right.
