Leofoto BV-15 Reviews

An okfluid head

By James
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2025-12-14

The 2 wheels for adjusting the amount of play in both the horizontal and vertical directions is virtually useless.

Better Build Quality than expected

Bought primarily to use with wildlife and long lens shooting. Kit included a nice base plate for mounting to camera or lens. Overall well satisfied.

Someone already asked if there is a spring counter

Someone already asked if there is a spring counterbalance and the answer was NO (per the spec). I have read elsewhere that the BV-05 and BV-10 indeed have no spring at all, but the 15 and up have a non-adjustable (fixed) spring? Can you confirm whether the BV-15 and BV-15L have absolutely zero, or simply a fixed spring counterbalance?
Asked by: Eric
Yes, the Leofoto BV-15 Fluid Tripod Head does have a built-in spring for counterbalance assistance.
