Leofoto LY-265CF-G Mr.Y Series Carbon Fibre Tripod with Inverted Ball Head – Green

The Leofoto LY-265CF-G Mr.Y Series in Green is a high-performance carbon fibre tripod that balances striking aesthetics with professional-grade engineering. Designed for maximum portability, it features a unique triangular centre column and an apex bowl base that allow the legs to collapse much tighter than traditional round designs, resulting in a compact closed length of just 435mm. The tripod is equipped with a redesigned flip-lock leg system for rapid deployment and an elongated centre column lock that provides exceptional stability for a maximum load of 7kg. Despite its robust construction and 1580mm maximum height, the entire kit remains incredibly lightweight at just 1.25kg, making it a perfect companion for travel and landscape photographers.

At the heart of the Mr.Y series is an innovative inverted ball head system that offers a lower center of gravity and a compact storage profile. It utilizes an advanced three-part gear locking system that provides precise damping feedback, preventing sudden camera drops while ensuring smooth, secure adjustments. For creative flexibility, the tripod offers four adjustable leg angles and a split centre column that allows for low-angle shooting as close as 120mm from the ground. With its integrated Arca-Swiss plate, 360° panning capabilities, and ability to invert the centre column, this tripod provides the meticulous control and versatility required for everything from macro photography to high-resolution panoramic vistas.

Product Features in Detail

Space-Saving Triangular Centre Column

The Mr.Y series departs from traditional round columns by using a triangular shape. This allows the five leg sections to nest perfectly against the column when collapsed, significantly reducing the tripod's overall girth and making it much easier to slide into a backpack or carry-on luggage.

Precision Inverted Ball Head

The precision-machined inverted ball head is built directly into the apex bowl. This "sunken" design reduces vertical storage space and enhances stability by keeping the camera's weight closer to the tripod's center of gravity, resulting in smoother panning and more reliable locking.

Three-Part Gear Locking System

Replacing traditional knobs, this innovative gear system provides advanced damping feedback. It allows you to make minute adjustments with high precision while acting as a safety measure to prevent the camera from flopping over or moving suddenly when the lock is loosened.

Ground-Level Versatility

For macro and low-perspective shots, the centre column can be split into two sections using the included hex wrench. When combined with the 82° leg angle setting, this enables a minimum working height of just 120mm, allowing you to capture unique ground-level compositions with ease.

High-Efficiency Flip Leg Locks

The redesigned flip-lock system is engineered for both speed and a slim profile. It allows the user to open all sections of a leg simultaneously with one hand, ensuring you never miss a shot due to slow setup times, while maintaining a secure grip on the 26mm carbon fibre tubes.

 Four-Position Leg Angle Adjustment

To handle uneven terrain or cramped shooting spaces, the legs can be independently locked at 23°, 42°, 62°, or 82°. This adaptability, paired with the vibration-dampening properties of 10-layer carbon fibre, ensures a rock-solid platform in almost any environmental condition.
