The Leofoto AZ-235C Carbon Fibre Travel Tripod, paired with Leofoto’s new-generation 30mm inverted ball head, delivers full-size tripod performance in a highly portable, travel-optimised design. Built for photographers and hybrid creators who demand stability, speed, and compact packing, the AZ-235C is ideal for landscapes, long exposures, travel, and on-the-go content creation.
With Leofoto’s innovative Y-shaped centre column, rigid oval-profile carbon fibre legs, and a dependable 10kg load capacity, this tripod offers professional-level support in a lightweight, ultra-compact form.
Compact When Packed, Capable When Deployed
Folding down to just 48cm, the AZ-235C is exceptionally easy to travel with, yet it extends to a maximum height of 160cm for comfortable shooting. With the centre column lowered, it maintains a stable working height of 129cm, and when fully reversed, it allows ultra-low shooting down to just 16cm—ideal for macro and creative low-angle work.
Its 5-section leg design ensures excellent packability, while the large 38.5mm maximum leg diameter provides impressive rigidity and vibration resistance for its size class.
Weighing only 1.54kg including the head, the AZ-235C is perfectly suited to air travel, hiking, and long shooting days where portability matters.
Y-Shaped Centre Column for Smarter Packing
Leofoto’s patented Y-shaped centre column nests cleanly between the folded legs, significantly reducing overall folded size without sacrificing strength. This clever design improves packing efficiency while maintaining the structural integrity expected from a professional support system.
The centre column is fully functional and reversible, expanding the tripod’s versatility for macro, product, and low-perspective photography.
Stable on Any Terrain
The AZ-235C features four independent leg angle positions—23°, 42°, 62°, and 82°—allowing it to adapt effortlessly to uneven ground, steep slopes, and confined shooting environments. Leofoto’s unique 42° leg angle is particularly effective in windy conditions, lowering the centre of gravity while preserving working height.
Interchangeable rubber and spike feet ensure secure footing across a wide range of surfaces, from studio floors to rocky outdoor locations.
Fast Flip Leg Locks
The tripod uses flip-style leg locks for fast, intuitive setup and breakdown. These locks provide strong clamping force, visual confirmation of lock status, and quicker deployment compared to traditional twist locks—perfect for fast-moving shooting scenarios.
New 30mm Inverted Ball Head with Lever-Release Panning Clamp
The AZ-235C is supplied with Leofoto’s new inverted 30mm ball head, designed to keep the centre of gravity low for improved balance and stability. The inverted architecture enhances load control and makes the system particularly well-suited to travel tripods.
Key features include:
30mm precision ball for smooth, controlled movement
Lever-release ball adjustment for fast locking and unlocking
Lever-release panning Arca-Swiss clamp for quick camera mounting
Independent panning function with engraved scale for panoramic work
Integrated bubble level for fast, accurate setup
This head delivers confident support, rapid operation, and precise control in a compact, travel-friendly form.
