NATURE PHOTOGRAPHERS NEED A TRIPOD WITH A HEAD

For a nature photographer, of course, the most important thing is to have a good camera. A reliable tripod and a gimbal head are a close second. These are also important pieces of equipment, as a tripod and a gimbal head are essential when using large and heavy telephoto lenses or when shooting in low light. Of course, the tripod and gimbal head can also be used in many other situations, such as when shooting fast moving subjects or when using a remote control. The tripod gives sharper images, especially at slower shutter speeds, for example when photographing wildlife in low light or the Northern Lights in the dark. Even if there is enough light to take the shot, the slower shutter speed can capture motion in images of flowing water and other moving subjects.

"The Leofoto Ranger LS-365C + PG-1 Full Camo Gimbal Head Kit comes in a handy carry bag with the necessary tools and instructions on how to care for the tripod and replace the rubber feet with spikes if necessary. All parts of the tripod are very well finished. "The Leofoto Ranger LS-365C is a tripod without a central column, made from high quality Japanese Toray carbon fibre.

CONVENIENT BASE PARTS, CONNECTORS AND LOCKS

The legs are directly attached to the central platform and the platform has a 3/8″ thread for attaching a PG-1 swivel. This design puts the centre of gravity at the sweet spot, which definitely improves stability. The tripod is easy to install, regardless of the terrain. The maximum working height of the tripod - with the gimbal fitted - is 175 cm and the minimum is about 8 cm. The five-part legs can be easily and continuously adjusted with Twist-Lock twist-locks using only one hand. In all respects, the tripod base parts and locks work smoothly. The transport length of the stand without gimbal head is 48 cm. The tripod is easy to transport both in the included carrying case and by attaching the tripod to the side of a photographic backpack with straps.

FAST CAPTURE AT THREE DIFFERENT ANGLES

The tripod's leg angle can be quickly adjusted to three different angles, such as 23, 55 and 85 degrees. At the highest tilt angle, the legs are firmly planted at ground level, which means that the shooting height with the gimbal head is less than 20 cm. The higher tilt angle also makes the tripod more stable. This feature is very useful, especially in windy weather. By quickly changing the tilt angles depending on the situation, it is easy to get new and interesting viewing angles.

UNRIVALLED QUALITY PG-1 HEAD

The PG-1 gimbal head is made of high quality aircraft grade aluminium and is very durable. It has a convenient universal Arca-Swiss quick-release connector so that any Arca-Swiss compatible quick-release plate can be attached. The gimbal head is a popular tripod head for nature and sports photographers and is easy to handle large and heavy telephoto lenses. The Leofoto PG-1 gimbal head has two locking knobs. One knob adjusts the tilt and the other knob adjusts the lateral movement. The adjustment of the locks can be done while wearing gloves. The gimbal head is also equipped with a spirit level which allows the stand to be quickly straightened.
