Leofoto LY-284C + LH-30 Carbon Fiber Tripod Kit

The Leofoto LY-284C is the largest and most stable tripod in the LY Series while still retaining the lightweight, travel-friendly design that defines the range.

Its larger 28 mm carbon fibre legs provide greater rigidity and support for larger camera and lens combinations. The complete kit weighs 1.6 kg, supports loads of up to 10 kg and reaches a maximum height of 1600 mm.

The LY-284C is the best choice in the range for photographers who want additional working height and stability without moving to a significantly larger or heavier tripod system.

About the Leofoto LY Series

The Leofoto LY Series combines Leofoto’s compact, travel-friendly tripod design with the added convenience of a built-in centre column.

The key is its distinctive Y-shaped centre column. Its triangular profile fits neatly between the tripod legs when folded, allowing the legs to sit closer together and keeping the tripod slim and compact.

This gives the LY Series an excellent balance of low weight, compact folded size, comfortable working height and quick height adjustment — making all three models particularly well suited to travel, landscape and general photography.

The range is available in three sizes:

• LY-224C + LH-25 — Most compact: The smallest and lightest option for photographers prioritising minimum weight and packed size.
• LY-254C + LH-30 — Mid-size: A step up in height and stability while remaining very portable.
• LY-284C + LH-30 — Largest: The tallest and most stable LY model, with larger 28 mm legs while still remaining a lightweight travel tripod.

All LY models feature 4-section carbon fibre legs and a built-in centre column for quick and convenient height adjustment.
