The Leofoto ST-X Series Rifle Tripods are one of the most compact apex setups on the market with a perfectly balanced weight to strength ratio. The ST-X Series have a redesigned lever-release, arca/ picatinny hybrid clamp and knob controlled, integrated ballhead. These tripods offer maximum rigidity, capable of supporting non-traditional shooting positions with a maximum load capacity ranging from 33 pounds to 44 pounds fully extended. They also feature three angle stop positions to increase shooting position capabilities and a compact design which maintains a small footprint, creating a tripod setup which is extremely easy to pack and carry on the go. The brand new "X" version features a new knurled-bar angle stop design, which allows for one handed operation. The lever-release clamp has also been redesigned for an improved clamping experience and the width of the clamp can be adjusted to precisely fit any arca/picatinny rail, even those which are slightly off standard spec.
