Introduction<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Many photographers are familiar with high-end tripod brands like Gitzo and Really Right Stuff, but are we always willing to pay the premium that comes with their reputation? Over the last few years, Leofoto has established itself as a serious alternative, producing tripods that can match\u2014or at least come very close to\u2014the performance of the established brands.<\/p>\n

In this review, I take a look at one of Leofoto’s flagship models, the flat-apex, center-column-free travel and field tripod, the LS-324CPRO.<\/p>\n
