Leofoto MP-326C Carbon Monopod

Leofoto MP-326C Carbon Monopod

Its five leg sections – although 32, 28, 25, 22 and 19 mm thick – do not reveal at first glance just how powerful this monopod really is. Should we call it a heavyweight? With a load capacity of 15 kg, it really gets down to business, yet weighs only 485 g itself. The incredibly lightweight carbon fibre makes such performance figures possible. The MP-326C neither buckles at the knees (as quick-release twist locks hold the leg sections firmly in place) nor do the sections twist when pulled or pushed. Everything operates with a smooth glide. This, too, is yet another result of the almost meticulous dimensional accuracy of Leofoto’s manufacturing. When the monopod is fully extended, the tripod plate reaches a maximum height of 1,555 mm. Whatever camera equipment this MP-326C monopod is designed to carry, it imposes virtually no limits on the photographer. The tripod plate features a combination screw with ¼” and 3/8” threads. There’s no question that a wide variety of heads can be attached to it. However, the Leofoto VH-10 tilt head would be the absolutely ideal partner for the Leofoto MP-326C carbon monopod.

Leofoto and Degreef & Partner

Degreef & Partner in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, has decades of experience in the distribution of photographic accessories, both across Europe and worldwide. They are proud to represent the Leofoto brand as an authorised distributor for the Benelux countries, Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland. This is because Leofoto products are of the highest quality. And at prices that are nowhere near those of well-known brands’ tripods of comparable quality.

Leofoto carbon monopods

Monopods are the ideal camera supports for sports photography and indeed for all fast-moving subjects. These are, so to speak, Leofoto’s ‘flawless’ monopods for professional use. This tripod brand also offers tripods, each of which features a leg that can be used as a monopod. The use of eight layers of carbon fibre makes the monopods in question here pleasantly light whilst offering high stability. Yet these monopods still pack plenty of power: load capacities of 15, 18 or 20 kg are available across the three models on offer. It’s hardly rocket science that the model with the longest extension has a slightly lower load capacity (15 kg). But all three models are capable of safely supporting even heavy camera-lens combinations. The top section of every Leofoto monopod is softly padded with foam, a detail that’s kind to the hand and, on occasion, certainly to the shoulder too. What’s more, it offers some protection against the cold in winter. A wrist strap is a must for any monopod – not a minor detail, but an important safety feature. The strap should always be worn on the hand used to hold the tripod whilst taking photographs. The ¼” and 3/8” combination screw on the tripod plate makes these tripods highly versatile. Setting up or folding the Leofoto monopods is quick and easy thanks to the quick-release fasteners on the extremely torsion-resistant leg segments. The shock-absorbing rubber foot is removable. A carrying bag is also included in the scope of delivery.
