he LP-284C Poseidon-Series Waterproof Carbon Fiber Tripod with LH-30 Ball Head from Leofoto is a compact carbon-fiber travel tripod made with corrosion-resistant titanium and 6061-T6 aluminum components that is designed to perform on beaches and in snowy conditions that would render other tripods useless. The maintenance free, waterproof twist-lock system keeps the legs free from sand and water, and embedded silica gel mats provide traction for easy gripping. The legs are crafted of 10-layer carbon fiber and offer independent leg spread for easy leveling on uneven terrain. Combined with the center-column-free design, the leg spread allows the camera to be positioned virtually all the way down to floor level. The LP-284C provides a load capacity of 22 lb and a maximum height of 50.8″, yet still folds to a compact 21.3″ for travel and storage.
