I like that the Leofoto G2 Geared Pan Head is very compact for a geared tripod head, and that it enables incredibly fine and precise adjustments, along with full 360-degree panning. I’m less keen that it only has a maximum of +/-10 degrees of adjustment on both tilting axes, and precludes portrait orientation shooting, although both of these shortcomings can be fixed with additional bits of kit.

I feel that the Leofoto Ranger LS-365C carbon fiber tripod bridges a gap. It’s as compact and lightweight as many travel tripods, but as rigid, sturdy and resistant to flexing as some of the most heavy-duty tripods on the market. That ticks a lot of boxes on my wish list, while the superb build quality and excellent all-round performance make it a great set of sticks.

Gimbal heads can be pricey and the Leofoto PG-1 Gimbal Head is no exception. Even so, I feel the clever design that’s brilliantly implemented with precision engineering makes it well worth the money. It’s superb for sports and wildlife photography, and any time I need to track some action.

Ball heads are generally my preference for shooting with a tripod and this Leofoto LH-36LR Ball Head is practically perfect for the job. Typical of the breed, it’s quick and easy to adjust for both landscape and portrait orientation. I like that it’s particularly sturdy and resistant to sagging, and the super-smooth panning mechanism is a bonus, but it’s pretty pricey to buy.

The Leofoto VH-30R Two-Way Head is advertised as a monopod head and sure enough, it works just fine on a monopod. I actually prefer using it on a tripod, taking advantage of its full, free and fluid movement for tilt and panning. Indeed, the dual-axis panning facility makes it ideal for shooting video as well as stills.
