LuLand D geared tripod head

December 30, 2021 By JimK Leave a Comment

I’m going to be reporting on a bunch of geared tripod heads from China, mostly, and two from Switzerland. First up — and by far the worst — is this LuLan D head.

It has non-geared base yaw, and geared pitch and roll. There are locks for all three. You can see the base yaw lock on the right, and the pitch lock is the larger gray ring on the left.

The roll axis has no angle indicator. This is max roll.

In the other direction, the maximum roll is limited by the locking knob for the pitch axis.

Pitch has a 40-degree scale, but won’t go beyond a pitch of less than 30 degrees’

Pitch is symmetric in the other direction.

There is only a bubble level for pitch, not for roll.

The gears are not well constructed, and the action is not smooth.

This is an inexpensive head, but I don’t recommend it at all. It has serious design and construction deficiencies.
