Product Information

Full details

The Leofoto Mr.Q LQ-324C Tripod + LH-40 Ball Head is designed for traveling photographers who need a stable, lightweight, and compact support system without compromising on strength. Its key benefit is providing professional-grade stability and versatility in a portable package. A potential caveat for some users might be the folded length, which, while manageable, is still substantial for ultralight travel.

Troubleshooting

Leg locks are stiff or difficult to turn.

Ensure there is no dirt or debris caught in the leg locks. Clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. If stiffness persists, a small amount of silicone lubricant may be applied to the threads (use sparingly).

Ball head is not locking firmly.

Ensure the camera and plate are properly seated in the ball head clamp. Check that the main locking knob is tightened sufficiently. If the ball head is new, it may require a break-in period. Over time, if the issue persists, contact customer support.

Tripod feels unstable at full extension.

Ensure all leg locks are fully tightened. For maximum stability, avoid extending the center column completely or consider removing it for lower-angle shots. Ensure the tripod is on a stable surface.

Quick-release plate won't attach securely.

Verify that the plate is an Arca-Swiss compatible type and that the tripod clamp is fully open before inserting the plate. Ensure the plate is properly aligned and pushed fully into the clamp before tightening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unfold Legs: Extend the four leg sections by loosening the twist locks on each section.
  2. Attach Camera: Screw your camera or L-bracket onto the quick-release plate of the LH-40 ball head. Secure the plate in the ball head's clamp.
  3. Adjust Ball Head: Loosen the main knob on the ball head to adjust the camera's position. Tighten the knob to lock it in place. Use the smaller pan lock for precise horizontal movements.
  4. Center Column: For increased height, extend the center column. For lower angles or a more compact setup, remove the center column (consult manual for specific instructions).

Compatibility:

  • The LH-40 ball head uses a standard 3/8"-16 mounting screw, compatible with most cameras.
  • It includes a standard Arca-Swiss compatible quick-release plate.
  • Supports cameras with a maximum weight of 10kg.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the tripod legs and ball head with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Leg Locks: Periodically check and clean the twist locks to ensure they operate smoothly. Dry thoroughly after exposure to moisture.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in its carrying bag, to protect it from dust and damage.
