Japanese company Libec announces several new products

QL40B tripod legs with Quick Lock system

Unlike conventional two-stage tripods with leg locks on the top and bottom, the QL40B offers a locking mechanism that allows for quick lock and release. Users can adjust the height of the tripod using the quick locks located only on the top of the legs, making height adjustment and set-up extremely quick and easy. The lack of a lock on the bottom of the tripod means less physical strain on the user, as there is no need to bend over to unlock.

With a weight of 2.6kg, the QL40B offers a load capacity of up to 40kg. In addition, it provides a maximum height of 181.9 cm - approximately 30 cm taller than the current RT30B model, making it even more suitable for a variety of shooting environments, including events and interviews. The QL40B also features an accessory port with 1/4" and 3/8" threads and a handle for easy transport.

Tripod kits based on the QL40B are then available. Interested parties can choose from kits with heads of several different load capacities and with either a bottom or center spacer. The manufacturer plans to ship the goods in April 2025.
