Why Camo?
Our camo tripods are not just about aesthetics – it serves a much more important role that is not so obvious. The carbon fiber tubes are wrapped in an ultra-hard protective vinyl, which offers a layer of protection between the elements and your tripod. Most of the tripods going into the shooting community end up on farms and game reserves, where they are carried through the veld and transported on the back of a bakkie. This is a tough life and we want to make sure our tripods last as long as possible when put to real use doing hard work. The camo wrap goes a long way to ensuring years of hard use before the elements start wearing away at the epoxy on the carbon tubes.
For the camo lovers, there is also the added bonus of the aesthetic.

Head
All SA kits include their new MA-30L dual format anvil-style lever release head, which accepts both arca and picatinny rails. This head incorporates the modern inverted ball design, which minimises leverage on the head, and a clamshell design, which maximises ball contact area for the finest and smoothest possible friction control. The clamp gauge can be adjusted for a perfect fit with different rail widths.
Ranger Chassis
Using Leofoto’s best-selling Ranger series chassis as a foundation, the apex has been modified slightly to accept their new MA-30L dual format anvil-style head as well as the massive 40mm legs that make the LM-404 and SO-362 our best selling models for rifle sports use.
Proprietary Head Connection
It is very important to note that all SA series tripods have a special mounting “cup” on the apex, which only accepts heads with the corresponding foot. Leofoto currently offers two compatible head designs – the MA-30L (as pictured with all SA kits) and the ‘S’ variant of the MH ball heads. These tripods do not have a standard 3/8″ screw which allows any tripod head to be mounted.
Kestrel & Accessory Mounting
Please note that SA tripods do not have an accessory port on the apex. If you want to attach a magic arm to mount your kestrel, smartphone or any other accessory , you can simply attach an MC-40 clamp to any of the legs.
