The tripods in the Mr.Y series from Leofoto are ideal for travel and indoor photography, for example at events or in museums, as well as in urban areas in general. They are particularly lightweight and have a very short transport length.
The special feature is the Y-shaped centre column. This allows the diameter of the tripod head to be significantly smaller (see illustration). This means that the tripod even fits into a briefcase.
Operation is very simple and intuitive: the legs can be extended using rubberised twist locks. The centre column is held in place by an ergonomic clamp lever. The height of the camera can be adjusted by adjusting the centre column.
The spread angle of the tripod legs can be adjusted in four stages. Maximum stability is achieved at 42°. For special perspectives, the angle can be increased to 82 °. The short centre column then allows a true frog's-eye view.
Short centre column? Yes! You can replace the long centre column with a much shorter one, which is included in the scope of delivery. This can be done without any tools. The advantage, in addition to the aforementioned frog's-eye view, is increased stability.
The long centre column can also be mounted upside down for unusual shooting situations.
Here you get a set consisting of the Mr.Y tripod LY-224C including the levelling base LB-38 and the video tilt head BV-0R. This set is available in the classic black carbon look and in yellow, blue and red.
Leofoto BV-0R
This video tilt head is currently the most compact and lightweight video tilt head in the Leofoto range. Despite its low weight of just 270 grams, it can still carry video cameras or system cameras weighing up to 3 kg. Ideal for use with lightweight travel tripods.
The damping allows for silky smooth horizontal pans. The vertical adjustment range is +90 / -75°. The double panorama function allows you to take step-by-step individual shots that can later be combined into a single image. It connects to the tripod via a 3/8" screw thread. An Arca-Swiss standard quick-release coupling is included on the camera side.
The Leofoto LB-38 is a professional levelling base with a tripod plate and base plate diameter of 33 mm. The Leofoto LB-38 levelling base can be used on all Leofoto tripods and, of course, on other tripods with a 3/8-inch tripod screw. Thanks to its load capacity of 3 kg, this is an ideal accessory for light photo and video cameras and users who want to work horizontally and with great precision.
