In brief:
- Carbon tripod for rifle shooters
- Low weight with high load capacity
- Inverted leg extension for high stability
The tripods in the SO series feature inverted leg extension. This means that when the twist lock is opened, the outer extension tube slides downwards rather than the inner tube. The design deliberately avoids the use of additional leg segments. This makes the tripod quicker and more intuitive to set up and provides additional stability even under demanding conditions.
The absence of a centre column also ensures high stability and compact transport dimensions. Instead, the two tripod tubes have been designed so that even a two-metre-tall shooter has a comfortable view.
The legs of this tripod are made of 10 layers of carbon fibre. The special diamond-shaped winding of these layers provides additional stability and vibration damping with the lowest possible weight!
Leofoto uses high-quality 6061-T6 aluminium alloy with magnesium and silicon as alloy components for the metal parts. This corrosion-resistant material is characterised by high strength and good toughness. The yield strength is comparable to that of structural steel. All parts are milled from solid material on state-of-the-art CNC machines and are therefore significantly more stable than cast parts. Leofoto makes no compromises here either !
