Description
The Leofoto LH-55LR is the large low-profile ball head for heavy rifles on Arca rails, big spotting scopes and thermal rigs: a 55 mm ball rated to 25 kg in a 98 mm-tall, 840 g head with a 72 mm base. Its split-body design keeps the drag smooth, with a separate pan lock and 2.5-degree pan scale. The LR-70 lever-release clamp takes any Arca-Swiss plate or rail and comes with the QP-70N plate. CNC hard-anodised aluminium, 3/8 in-16 mount — a direct fit on Leofoto LM, LN and SA series legs.
