Leofoto LS-324C Ranger Carbon Fiber Tripod with LH-40 Ball Head
This Ranger kit pairs a 10-layer carbon-fiber travel tripod (15 kg capacity, ~1.88 kg) with an Arca LH-40 ball head, an enthusiast-tier package built for hikers and landscape shooters who count grams. It fits that weight-conscious brief well. Just be clear on what it is: a stills ball-head kit, not a fluid head, so it's the wrong choice if you need smooth video panning.
