Photographers who engage in serious architectural work often prefer to work with geared tripod heads. By driving the camera directly in each direction, these enable extremely precise control over composition, but in return, they tend to be large, heavy and expensive.

Leofoto G2 geared head key features:

• NP-60 camera plate: This 6cm-long plate includes both a strap slot and an anti-twist lip. The camera screw has a fold-down d-ring for easy attachment.
• Level: A circular bubble level on the camera clamp helps with setting the camera platform flat.
• Arca compatible: There’s an Arca Swiss-type clamp on top, and a dovetail plate at the base for fixing onto a ballhead.
• Tripod socket: The base has a standard 3/8” tripod connection socket, with a 1/4” adapter supplied in the box.

Compared to most other tripod heads, whose aim is to lock the camera at any angle of the user’s choice, this serves a different purpose. It’s all about setting the camera straight and level, which is a prerequisite for formal architectural compositions. To this end, it offers geared adjustments across a range of +/-10° in two directions.
