Leofoto GC-282C Geared Centre Column

The Leofoto GC-282C Geared Centre Column is the perfect add-on for photographers and videographers who demand precise vertical control without sacrificing stability. Designed for compatibility with tripods featuring a 75mm bowl mount, this outer geared centre column adds height and finesse to your setup, enabling fast and accurate adjustments even under heavy load.

Crafted from a combination of premium 10-layer carbon fibre and CNC-machined aluminium alloy, the GC-282C is built for strength, lightness, and long-lasting performance. The carbon fibre outer tube provides excellent rigidity with minimal weight, while the anodised aluminium alloy geared shaft ensures smooth, controlled elevation with minimal flex or play.

The geared column mechanism allows effortless vertical movement through a twist-lock collar and a fold-out crank handle. This system provides two modes of operation: fast raising/lowering via the crank, or fine-tuned positioning by adjusting the friction collar for micro adjustments. The internal gear system ensures the centre column won't drop under weight-delivering smooth, incremental elevation, even with heavy cameras and long lenses.

With a reversible 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting stud, the GC-282C is universally compatible with most tripod heads, gimbals, and accessories. The column's base features a 3/8"-16 female thread, allowing it to attach securely to a range of tripod platforms with 75mm bowl adapters. Whether you're shooting in-studio or out in the field, the GC-282C gives you the confidence to frame and adjust with absolute accuracy. Ideal for landscape photographers, macro shooters, and studio work where critical height positioning makes all the difference.
