Know more about this product

The Leofoto Summit series is designed for the larger, heavier cameras and lenses. The LM-404CL has a load capacity of 40 pounds and a maximum height of 213.5 cm. The enormous maximum height of LM-404CL is due to the extra long legs, which are longer than those of the regular Summit tripods. The tripod comes without a ball head, allowing it to reach a minimum height of just 7.2 cm. The LM-404CL Summit tripod weighs 2690 grams and is 72 cm long when folded. It comes with removable tripod plate and half-bowl for video of 100mm diameter, a carrying case, spikes and multitool.

The Leofoto Summit Series

The tripods in the Leofoto Summit Series are distinguished by their tremendous stability and light weight. They have a wide, removable tripod plate and no center column, which minimizes vibration and makes them very sturdy. In addition, they all come with half-bowl, making them suitable for mounting a video head as well. Optionally, a center column is available to increase the maximum working height. On the sides and bottom of the tripod plate are UNC 3/8 screw holes to which a magic arm or smartphone can be attached. At the top of the plate is a spirit level.

Features of the tripod

• Offset Leg Joints: Tripods must occasionally withstand significant torsion loads so it is crucial that the leg angle stops, and all other structural joints are well supported. Our patented offset leg joints fully support the leg angle stops, allowing loads to be transferred straight through the strongest elements of the tripod. This also means the tripod is more compact when collapsed.
• Rubber Ball Feet: Large diameter teardrop-shape keeps leg sidewalls from touching the ground even at the lowest settings and makes positive contact with the ground at virtually any angle.
• High visibility bullseye spirit level is embedded in the apex for accurate levelling.
• Twist Grip Leg Extension Locks: Textured semi-hard rubber allows for easy adjustments and strong grip. Anti-twist leg sections mean each twist lock can be operated independently.
• Changing Platform, Video Bowl & Centre Column. Allows quick and very secure change-out from a simple platform to a Versa Quick-Column or YB Series Levelling Base.
