LGATest Design

*The weight of your camera equipmentis the most important factor whenselecting the right tripod because afterall, you want your photo to be asuccess without endangering yourequipment. The most importantnumber when selecting a tripod headused to be the load-bearing capacity.Even today, the leverage resultingfrom the camera/lens combination hasnot been taken into account, though.The resulting leverage is, however, themain reason why equipmentsometimes tips over.

With the introduction of theCULLMANN Magnesit ball heads, weare also introducing for the first timedependable values relating to the load-bearing capacity of tripod heads.
