Leofoto CNC tripod LY-265CV, black

As part of the MR.Y series, the LY-265CV focuses on real-world portability without compromising on height. This makes it a smart choice for creators who move between locations and switch quickly between photo and video.

The carbon fibre chassis helps reduce weight while maintaining the rigidity needed for sharp images. For long exposures, astrophotography, or telephoto shots, the stable platform and secure locking of the LY-265CV minimise vibrations and keep your composition consistent with every shot.

The inverted ball head design sits partially within the bowl-shaped base, resulting in a lower overall profile and a more compact tripod for transport. This efficient geometry also enables precise positioning for small, accurate framing adjustments — ideal for landscape and panoramic shooting where micro-adjustments matter.

For video work, the integrated fluid-damped video head delivers smooth panning and tilting for controlled camera movements. Whether you're tracking action, recording interviews, or capturing cinematic B-roll, the head is tuned for steady movement and predictable start and stop points.

An Arca-Swiss-compatible clamp and plate workflow ensures fast, consistent setup with other Leofoto tripod heads and quick release plates. Mount, balance, and reframe quickly — without any fuss with your gear.

With a maximum load capacity of 3 kg and a well-balanced design, this Leofoto tripod is suited to compact mirrorless cameras and DSLR cameras where stability and portability are equally important.

Setup is quick thanks to the flip-leg lock system, allowing you to deploy and fold the tripod efficiently when the light changes fast or you're moving between locations. The 5-section legs provide a compact folded length of 480 mm — a practical advantage for travelling as hand luggage and packing into smaller cases.

The tripod reaches a maximum height of 1,630 mm, or 1,390 mm with the centre column lowered for a more stable stance. This balance between height and folded dimensions makes it a capable travel tripod that still offers a comfortable working height for a variety of shooting situations.

For low-angle shots, the system supports ground-level shooting by rotating the ball head 90° and splitting the centre column into two sections using the included Allen key. When extra flexibility is needed, the inverted centre column can be removed quickly using the locking lever and weight hook.

Four leg angle positions (23°, 42°, 62°, 82°) help you level up on uneven terrain and maintain stability on rocks, paths, or urban surfaces — handy for travel content, landscapes, and controlled video shoots.

Choose the Leofoto LY-265CV if you want a reliable Leofoto carbon fibre tripod that's easy to carry, quick to set up, and offers a stable, repeatable workflow for both photography and video — with local support from Leofoto Australia.
