Key Features

  • Weight: 14.6 oz

The HC-28 Horizontal Panoramic Carbon Fiber Center Column System from Leofoto is a 15.75"" carbon fiber extension set that allows an adjustable center column to be added to a tripod without a center column. The rugged but lightweight carbon-fiber column can be rotated a full 360° and tilted 180° from horizontal to fully vertical in either a standard or inverted orientation. One end of the column features a mounting platform with a reversible 1/4"-20 to 3/8"-16 mounting stud and three set screws to securely mount virtually any tripod head and prevent it from rotating. The other end of the column is a weight hook that can be fully rotated so that it can always be facing up to receive a sandbag, equipment bag strap, or other type of ballast.

Leofoto HC-28 Reviews

it works

By Francesco

I have bought it to attach 2 cameras, one at each end as shown in one of the photos but it doesn't come with what is needed for it. Once that problem is solved (Sirui KP-59 Mounting Plate) it seems sturdy enough to do the job based on my preliminary dry runs.

Perfect for macro work with bad QA

This center column matches perfectly with my LS-324C tripod making it the perfect macro tripod. The column slide smoothly and the rotating hook is nicely dampened. Overall a solid build except for the panning base which uses a cheap-looking plastic knob. The other knobs are full metal and feel solid. The only problem I have is, when locking the panning base with the plastic knob, it won't positively lock into place, I can always move the column a couple degrees but, since the base rotation is dampened, it's still perfectly usable. With a better QA process, this would get a 4 stars rating. 5 if they switch to full metal hardware
