Leofoto LVF-163C Professional Carbon Fibre Video Tripod with FH-20 Fluid Head

The Leofoto LVF-163C+FH-20 Professional Carbon Fibre Video Tripod Kit is a powerhouse support system purpose-built for demanding videographers, cinematographers, and wildlife shooters. Pairing the robust LVF-163C video tripod with the feature-rich FH-20 Fluid Video Head, this professional-grade kit offers rock-solid stability, cinematic control, and unmatched durability—making it the ideal choice for high-end productions both in the studio and in the field.

Crafted from premium 10-layer Toray carbon fibre, the LVF-163C tripod delivers the perfect balance of lightweight portability and high-strength rigidity. Its three-section double-extension legs feature durable flip-lock mechanisms, allowing for swift deployment and precise height adjustments. Designed for field and studio use, it folds down to a manageable 910mm, making it easy to transport.

The ergonomically integrated carry handle, reinforced centre bracket, and robust multi-tube leg construction ensure stability even under heavy camera rigs. Compatible with a 75mm half ball mount, the LVF-163C allows fast and precise levelling—perfect for dynamic environments and unpredictable terrain.

The Leofoto FH-20 is a professional-grade fluid video head, designed to deliver silky-smooth panning and tilting even under the weight of heavy cinema rigs or long telephoto lenses. With 15 steps of continuous counterbalance, the FH-20 ensures perfect control for camera setups from 2kg to 15kg. Seven levels of drag adjustment for both pan and tilt let you fine-tune responsiveness, creating consistently smooth and cinematic shots.

Engineered from CNC-machined aircraft-grade aluminium, the FH-20 performs flawlessly in temperatures from -30°C to +60°C. The illuminated bubble level ensures accurate levelling in low-light conditions, and the detachable, ambidextrous pan bar offers comfortable control for both left- and right-handed users.

Versatile, Field-Ready, and Built to Last
