Leofoto LH-40LR Professional Ball Head

A compact, heavy-duty ball head designed for fast camera positioning and precise stills or hybrid shooting setups.

The Leofoto LH-40LR combines a 40mm ball, low-profile construction, Arca-type quick-release system and lever clamp with a rated load capacity of up to 20kg / 44.1lb.

This rental includes the ball head only, allowing you to pair it with your own tripod legs or with our separately available Leofoto LS-324C carbon fiber tripod.

20KG LOAD CAPACITY

Despite weighing only around 530g, the LH-40LR is rated to support camera setups up to 20kg / 44.1lb.

Suitable for:

• Mirrorless cameras
• DSLRs
• Medium-format cameras
• Long telephoto lenses
• Photography rigs
• Compact cinema cameras for locked-off positioning
• Heavy lens/camera combinations

ARCA-TYPE LEVER RELEASE

The integrated LR-50 lever-release clamp provides fast mounting and removal of Arca-type compatible camera plates.

The lever system allows:

• Fully locked position
• Partially open position for plate adjustment
• Fully open position for rapid release

This is especially useful when frequently changing cameras or repositioning a plate for balance.

ADJUSTABLE BALL TENSION

The main ball movement includes adjustable tension, allowing you to tune resistance depending on camera weight.

This gives you more controlled positioning with heavier cameras and lenses instead of having the head suddenly drop when unlocked.

360° PAN BASE

The LH-40LR includes an independent panoramic base with:

• 360° rotation
• Independent pan lock
• Laser-engraved positioning scale

Useful for panoramic photography, precise framing and controlled horizontal repositioning.

LOW-PROFILE DESIGN

The low-profile construction keeps the camera closer to the tripod platform, helping improve stability compared with taller traditional ball-head designs.

The LH-40LR measures approximately:

• Height: 91mm / 3.6"
• Base diameter: 57mm
• Ball diameter: 40mm
• Weight: 530g / 1.2lb

UNIVERSAL TRIPOD MOUNTING

The bottom uses a standard 3/8"-16 female thread, allowing the head to mount to a wide range of professional tripod legs and support systems.

IDEAL FOR
