Leofoto Pocket Mini Tripod MT-03
- Mini tripod
- Aluminum
- 3 kg load capacity
- 162 g light
- 14.3 cm packing size
Freedom, flexibility and creativity are hardly limited by this "spider leg" mini tripod. The first technical requirement for this is, first of all, the manufacturing method generally used at Leofoto. As with all Leofoto aluminum products, only heavy-duty aircraft aluminum is used here, which is CNC-milled in an extremely precise manner. In the case of this mini tripod, it is also followed by an almost complete black anodizing. 3 kg load capacity (with the camera placed directly on the ¼ inch screw) is the result of high-quality material and precise manufacturing. 162 g of weight is distributed over 143 mm of closed length. The working height is a maximum of 180 mm and a minimum of 35 mm. The space requirement, for example in a photo bag, is marginal.
However, a special feature of the Leofoto MT-03 mini tripod is its spider-like legs. No, it has neither six nor eight legs, but - as befits a good tripod - three. They are hinged and at this point each leg can be angled individually and, if necessary, differently from the other legs. For this purpose, sliders allow predefined spread angles of 35°, 55° or 85°. If the MT-03 is set up with the leg hinges angled in this way, the comparison with spider legs really comes to mind. There's no question that this type of set-up creates a particularly stable stand and allows the MT-03 mini tripod to be positioned appropriately for the subject even in tricky situations.
The upper segments of all three legs are provided with a row of holes. The thought behind this was neither appearance nor weight saving. Rather, accessories such as "magic arms" and others can be adapted here. You can find what you need in the Leofoto accessories section.
Leofoto mini tripods - super compact, but with great strengths
There are quite a few reasons for using a mini tripod.
It's no coincidence that such short-legged tripods are also called table tripods. There is no need for long legs, because tables or any other raised surface can replace them. But these super-compact tripods also prove to be extremely useful and practical on many other photographic occasions. This is because the Leofoto mini tripods are by no means dependent on level ground (tables, etc.). The terrain can also be bumpy. You can also position such a mini tripod very well on a humpy boulder, for example. This makes Leofoto mini tripods interesting for those photographers who do not want to be without a tripod under any circumstances, but at the same time want to keep the entire equipment absolutely compact. Such a small and - even including the Leofoto ball head! - and even including the Leofoto ball head! takes up hardly any space in the photo bag.
And another of these mini tripods does not have six or eight legs like spiders, but its three legs can be angled individually and differently, so that they sometimes do look like spider legs. This is for very practical reasons, as it allows for finer positioning and stabilization of this mini tripod.
When aluminum is used, Leofoto uses only high-strength aircraft-grade aluminum, always precision CNC-machined. In the case of the mini tripods, this applies to both the legs and the head plate of each model - and if available as a set - also to the corresponding Leofoto ball heads.
