Leofoto PG-1 with LB-65 Leveling Base Overview
The PG-1 Black Gimbal Head and LB-65 Leveling Base Kit with Nylon Case from Leofoto combines a the robust PG-1 Gimbal Head with the versatile LB-65 leveling base to form a kit that can convert almost any tripod leg set into an ideal support for action and wildlife photography. The included nylon carrying case adds protection and easy portability.
Leofoto PG-1 Gimbal Head (Black)
Travel lightly with the 2.2 lb black Leofoto PG-1 Gimbal Head, which is constructed from T6061 aluminum. Along with your lightweight tripod, this allows you to travel longer distances with your setup comfortably. The gimbal head enables you to capture fast-moving subjects with a large and heavy telephoto lens that otherwise you could not do with just hand holding the lens.
The head's arm swings back and forth and can be locked down at its required angle, and the camera platform, which is Arca-type compatible, has a height adjustability of 3.9" to help balance a telephoto lens on the head. Future setups can be repeated because of the printed scale on the side of the swing arm. Also, on the side of the arm are 1/4"-20 sockets for accessories such as an articulating arm. The 9.7" tall head can easily hold up to 55.1 lb of equipment and rotate a full 360° while keeping the horizon straight using the bubble level at the base of the head.
Leofoto LB-65 Leveling Base with Butterfly Handle with 65mm Plate
The LB-65 75mm Leveling Base with Butterfly Handle with 65mm from Leofoto acts like a 75mm half ball, providing +/-15° of leveling range capability. It locks easily and securely in position with the twist of the large butterfly handle at the base of the ball. This leveling base installs on any tripod leg set.
The anti-twist safety screw design uses three set screws on the spider to secure the ball head in place on top of the leveling base.
