Those who choose this ball head will receive a good pound in both the literal and figurative sense. On one hand, the LH-40 weighs only 540 g, which is indeed a good pound. However, its performance is not just good, but even outstanding. Aircraft-grade aluminum, here anodized in black, is known for its exceptional durability. So it’s no surprise that the LH-40 ball head boasts an impressive load capacity of 20 kg. The computer-controlled manufacturing of all individual parts makes the LH-40 an incredibly precise, smooth, and comfortable tool to handle—whether for ambitious hobbyists or professional photographers. For the metal components, Leofoto uses high-quality 6061-T6 aluminum alloy with magnesium and silicon as alloying elements. This corrosion-resistant material is characterized by high strength and good toughness, with a yield strength comparable to structural steel. All parts are machined from solid material on state-of-the-art CNC machines, making them significantly more stable than cast parts. Leofoto does not compromise on quality!.
