Leofoto LS-255CEX Ranger Levelling Base Series 5 Section Carbon Fibre Tripod

The Leofoto LS-255CEX is a professional-grade carbon fibre tripod designed for photographers and videographers who require a lightweight, compact support system with integrated levelling capabilities. Part of Leofoto’s renowned Ranger Series, this tripod is engineered to combine portability, precision, and stability, making it the ideal choice for landscape photographers, travellers, and creators who often work in uneven terrain.

Integrated Levelling Base

At the heart of the LS-255CEX is its built-in 50mm levelling half ball, which provides up to ±15° tilt adjustment. This allows for quick and precise horizon corrections without the need for additional accessories. The levelling base is operated via a smooth, reliable lever lock and includes a bubble level for accurate setup, making it particularly valuable for panoramic photography, video shooting, and architectural work.

Lightweight, Compact & Travel-Friendly

Despite its professional strength, the LS-255CEX weighs only 1.03kg , thanks to its 10-layer Toray 100% carbon fibre construction. It folds down to a compact 45cm, making it easy to store in your bag or carry-on luggage. When fully extended, it reaches a maximum working height of 1406mm, while its minimum height of 83mm allows for ultra-low-angle or macro shooting.

Strength & Stability

The LS-255CEX can support up to 6kg, making it suitable for everything from lightweight mirrorless setups to DSLR and medium-format cameras with standard lenses. The five-section legs feature diameters ranging from 25mm to 13mm, offering a strong yet flexible structure that maintains stability on varied terrain.

Advanced Leg Lock & Angle Adjustment

• Quarter-turn twist locks ensure fast and secure setup, requiring only a simple twist to lock or unlock each leg.

• Semi-automatic angle stops allow you to quickly set the legs at 23°, 55°, or 85°, ratcheting securely into place for flexible positioning.

• Anti-twist safety screws are built into the apex plate to secure your head firmly in place and prevent loosening during use.

Versatility with Removable Feet

The LS-255CEX is supplied with removable rubber feet, which can be swapped out for included stainless steel spikesor vibration-reducing teardrop feet, depending on your shooting environment. This ensures optimal grip and stability whether you’re on soft ground, rocks, or hard flooring.

Professional-Grade Build

Crafted from aerospace-grade 7075 aluminium components with CNC precision machining and a hard-anodised finish, the tripod is built to endure professional use in all conditions. One-piece internal shims reduce the chance of wear and failure compared to traditional two-piece systems, resulting in greater long-term reliability.

Extra Features

• Accessory mounting options – 1/4″ UNC threaded ports on the spider allow for attaching arms, monitors, or smartphone holders.

• No centre column design – increases stability and reduces vibration for sharper results.

• Carry bag & tools included – packaged with a padded tripod bag, spikes, Allen wrenches, a multi-tool kit, and a warranty card for complete support.
