Leofoto LH-40 SC ball head for Arca-Swiss & Picatinny rail

Leofoto LH-40 SC: Heavy-duty ball head with hybrid clamp

The Leofoto LH-40 SC ball head is an especially robust and versatile tripod head for demanding photo and outdoor use. With a maximum load capacity of 20 kg, a large 40 mm ball and the practical LSC-50 hybrid clamp, this ball head is ideal when working with mirrorless cameras, DSLRs, medium format cameras or heavy telephoto equipment. Thanks to the combination of a Arca-style compatible mount and Picatinny/Weaver clamp, the LH-40 SC is suitable not only for classic photography, but also for hunting and shooting sports.

Clamp: Arca-style and Picatinny/Weaver in one system

The integrated LSC-50 quick release clamp is the special feature of this model. It accepts both Picatinny / Weaver and Arca-style compatible 38 mm dovetail profiles. This allows you to use your setup with particular flexibility and quickly switch your tripod from a classic camera setup to other applications when needed.

The lever clamp ensures fast, convenient and secure locking. Especially in outdoor use this is a real advantage when speed and reliable hold are crucial.

Arca-style compatibility: usage note

The Arca-style compatible mount supports 38 mm dovetail profiles; you can find more information on ARCA-compatible systems here.

High load capacity yet easy to transport

The LH-40 ball head has a load capacity of 20 kilograms. This is made possible by the large ball diameter of 40 millimeters, which is manufactured with high precision. This allows even heavy camera-lens combinations to move smoothly and be locked securely. Despite its high load capacity, the ball head weighs only about 0.491 kg, making it pleasantly portable.

Fields of use: photography, nature and outdoor

The Leofoto LH-40 SC is a strong choice for many areas of application. It is particularly suitable for panorama photography, wedding photography, travel photography, reportage photography, landscape photography, telephoto photography, macro photography, architectural photography and studio photography. Thanks to its high stability and dual clamping function, it is also of interest for hunting and shooting sports.

Operation: precise control and flexible positioning

• The ball head can be rotated 360° at its base and at the clamp.
• The separate panorama base makes smooth pans and precise panorama shots easier.
• The clamping resistance can be adjusted variably so you can adapt the movement characteristics to your setup.
• Two cutouts for 90° tilts enable quick switches to portrait format or extreme tilt angles.
• An integrated spirit level helps you with precise alignment.

Material & manufacturing: CNC-milled aluminum

For the metal parts, Leofoto uses high-quality aluminum. The components are precisely machined from solid material and impress with high stability, clean workmanship and long durability. This makes the ball head a reliable solution for professional use in the studio as well as outdoors in demanding environments.
