FAQs

What is the total weight of the tripod and ball head together?

The LX-225CT tripod weighs 1.11kg, and the supplied XB-32Q ball head adds 298g. That brings the complete working setup to roughly 1.4kg once assembled. This reflects the real weight you feel in the bag rather than a legs-only figure. For a five-section carbon travel tripod with a 32mm ball head, it remains easy to carry.

How tall is it with and without the centre column?

With the centre column fully lowered, the maximum height is 1070mm. Raising the column extends the height to 1364mm for more comfortable eye-level shooting with smaller camera setups. As with any travel tripod, keeping the column down improves stiffness. The hook beneath the column lets you add weight when conditions are less forgiving.

What’s the advantage of the reverse-folding leg design?

The legs fold back around the ball head, reducing the collapsed length to 325mm. This makes it much easier to fit into smaller backpacks or carry-on luggage than non-folding designs. You still get a useful working height once deployed. It’s a practical benefit for photographers who travel frequently.

Why does it include both a standard and short centre column?

The standard centre column gives you maximum height and quick adjustment. The short column makes it faster to move between low and standard shooting heights and improves rigidity when working close to the ground. It also reduces overall weight if you leave the longer column at home. This flexibility is particularly useful for travel and location work.

Is the XB-32Q ball head suitable for precise framing?

Yes. The 32mm ball offers smooth, predictable movement, and the adjustable friction lets you fine-tune resistance so the camera stays where you set it. The Arca Swiss compatible clamp holds the plate securely without excessive force. This makes small compositional adjustments easier, especially with slightly heavier lenses.

Why is the maximum load listed as 6kg when the ball head is rated to 15kg?

The 6kg figure is set by the tripod legs, not the ball head. When a tripod and head are used together, the overall load rating is always limited by the lowest-rated component, which in this case is the LX-225CT legs. The XB-32Q ball head is rated to 15kg so it remains well within its comfort zone, maintaining smooth movement and secure locking even near the tripod’s limit.
