Leofoto MPG-02L lever-release gimbal attachment

Leofoto MPG-02L lever-release gimbal attachment
Attachment with side clamp. The inset shows an example rig.

When to choose it

The MPG-02L gives a long-lens rig a side-mounted pivot when used with a compatible ball head, tripod or monopod attachment. Leofoto documents two lower Arca-type dovetail positions and a 3/8-16 socket. Pick the connection that fits the support you already use.

The L model has a lever-release clamp with a safety latch. A knob clamp is offered on the MPG-02, so compare lock style before buying. The upper lens connection still needs a plate or foot that sits securely in the chosen receiver.

Fit and buying advice

The maker documents a 3/8-16 base socket. Verify any other screw option on the actual hardware before relying on the broader retailer copy.

Care Support the lens while opening the lever. Engage the latch before adjusting the position, then check balance with all accessories attached.

Questions about this accessory

Why does the model end in L?

Leofoto identifies the L version as the lever-release option. The standard MPG-02 uses a knob clamp.

Can I attach it using a clamp below?

The maker shows Arca-type dovetail mounting surfaces. Verify the exact lower clamp and orientation before using them.

Does it make any lens foot compatible?

The lens still needs the appropriate plate or replacement foot and enough room to balance in the receiver.
