Leofoto Urban LX-284CT Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod with XB-38 Ball Head

On a windswept ridge at dawn, a landscape photographer unfolds the Leofoto Urban LX-284CT, locks the twist grips, and mounts a full-frame camera on the XB-38 ball head. The carbon fiber legs absorb vibration while the 38 mm ball locks solidly for a 15 kg payload. This kit is built for travel, hiking, and studio work where every gram counts.
