Description

The LS-365C with LH-55SK is well suited as a precision shooting support system. It offers the rigidity, height range, and interface you want for rifles with Arca or Picatinny rails.

Tripod for rifle use

  • Max height 1520 mm (approx. 59.8 in / 4.98 ft) allows comfortable standing shots for most shooters, as well as elevated seated or kneeling positions.

  • Minimum height 80 mm (approx. 3.15 in) lets you get very low for prone or supported low‑angle positions behind cover.

  • Folded length 480 mm (approx. 18.9 in) makes it compact enough to strap to a pack or carry in a vehicle for field or range use.

  • Five leg sections give fine height adjustment on uneven terrain while maintaining a small packed size.

  • Maximum load 44.1 lb and tripod weight 3.90 lb provide a strong platform for precision rifles, DMRs, or carbines with optics and accessories.

LH-55SK ball head for rifles

The Leofoto LH-55SK low profile ball head is designed to handle heavy rifle setups while offering smooth, controlled movement for target transitions.

  • 55 mm ball with a 50 mm screw‑knob dual clamp provides a large, stable interface for rifle chassis or bipod adapters.

  • Height 98 mm (approx. 3.86 in) and base diameter 72 mm (approx. 2.83 in) keep the center of gravity relatively low to improve stability under recoil.

  • Weight 812 g 1.79 lb and max load approx. 55.1 lb are suitable for heavy precision rifles with large optics.

  • Mounting hole UNC 3/8 integrates with common tripod apex/adapters used in the shooting community.

Arca and Picatinny compatibility

The dual clamp accepts both Arca‑Swiss and Picatinny, making it ideal for modern rifle setups:

  • Direct mounting of rifles with Arca‑compatible chassis or ARCA rails on the forend.

  • Direct clamping of rifles or accessories equipped with Picatinny sections, such as traditional forends, night‑vision or thermal bridges, and some bipod adapters.

  • Quick transitions between different rifles or between rifle and spotting scope/LPVO training uppers that share the same rail standards.

Important configuration note

Do not confuse this setup with other LS‑365C kits that ship with a smaller ball head. This configuration uses the larger LH-55SK, which offers:

  • Higher real‑world stability for centerfire rifles, especially at extended ranges.

  • Greater clamping surface and strength when using long, heavy barrels and large optics.

  • Full dual‑standard support for both Arca rail and Picatinny without extra adapters.
