Leofoto LM-406CL Summit Series Long Leg 6 Section Carbon Fibre Tripod

The Leofoto LM-406CL Summit Series Long Leg Carbon Fibre Tripod is purpose-built for photographers, videographers, wildlife professionals and filmmakers who demand exceptional working height without sacrificing strength or stability. Standing at an incredible 2920mm (2.92 metres), the LM-406CL is one of the tallest professional carbon fibre tripods available, making it the perfect solution for elevated perspectives, shooting over crowds, sports coverage, architectural photography, timelapse production, wildlife observation and professional video applications.

Despite its extraordinary height, the LM-406CL weighs just 3.36kg, thanks to Leofoto's premium 10-layer Toray carbon fibre construction. Combined with an impressive 40kg load capacity, this tripod comfortably supports professional DSLR and mirrorless systems, medium format cameras, large telephoto lenses, cinema cameras and heavy video rigs with outstanding rigidity.

Designed as part of Leofoto's flagship Summit Series, the LM-406CL incorporates Leofoto's latest engineering innovations including the advanced Safety Lock spider, interchangeable platform system, professional accessory mounting points and ultra-rigid oversised 40mm leg tubes.

Whether you're photographing landscapes from an elevated viewpoint, filming above a crowd, operating long telephoto lenses, or creating professional video productions, the LM-406CL delivers confidence-inspiring performance in even the most demanding environments.

Extraordinary 2.92m Working Height

The Leofoto LM-406CL delivers an exceptional maximum working height of 2.92 metres, making it ideal for capturing unique high-angle perspectives that standard tripods cannot achieve. Its six-section carbon fibre legs extend to full height without relying on a centre column, helping maintain impressive rigidity and stability for elevated photography and videography.

Heavy-Duty Professional Support

Built with oversised 40mm carbon fibre leg tubes, the LM-406CL offers outstanding strength and rigidity while supporting camera setups weighing up to 40kg. It is designed to handle professional DSLR and mirrorless cameras, medium format systems, cinema rigs, large telephoto lenses, fluid heads, gimbal heads, and panoramic equipment with excellent stability.

Premium Carbon Fibre Construction

Constructed from premium 10-layer Toray carbon fibre, the tripod combines exceptional stiffness with a lightweight design. Weighing only 3.36kg, it effectively reduces vibration, increases durability, and provides greater comfort during use in both hot and cold environments, making it suitable for demanding outdoor and studio applications.

Systematic Design for Versatile Workflows

The LM-406CL features Leofoto's Safety Lock System and an interchangeable centre platform for enhanced strength and flexibility. It includes a flat mounting platform, a 75mm bowl adapter, and a standard 3/8" mounting thread, allowing quick compatibility with ball heads, geared heads, fluid video heads, gimbal heads, levelling systems, and panorama accessories.

Flexible Leg Positioning and Professional Features

Its six-section design folds down to just 755mm for easier transport while offering quick-deploy quarter-turn twist locks for fast setup. Three independent leg angle positions of 23°, 55°, and 85° enable stable positioning on uneven terrain, while a minimum working height of 115mm makes low-angle shooting equally practical.

Precision Engineering with Included Accessories

Precision CNC-machined aircraft-grade aluminium components and a durable hard anodised finish provide long-lasting reliability and resistance to wear. The integrated 3/8" accessory socket supports mounting additional equipment such as monitors, microphones, LED lights, and magic arms. The tripod is supplied with a premium padded carrying case, stainless steel spike feet, rubber feet, a 75mm bowl adapter, and a hex key set for a complete professional setup.
