Leofoto Mono Gimbal Head MPG-01L

The Leofoto MPG-01L is a compact, lightweight side-mount monopod gimbal head (also called a “MonoGimbal”) designed specifically for use with monopods, though it’s versatile enough for tripods too.

It excels in supporting heavy telephoto lenses for sports, wildlife, action, and motorsport photography, providing smooth tracking and reduced strain during long sessions.

Side-mount design — Positions the camera/lens offset to the side, allowing you to grip the monopod firmly with one hand while operating the camera with the other.

360° panning — In a vertical tilting orientation for fluid horizontal tracking.

Smooth tilt movement — Ideal for following fast-moving subjects.

Lever-release Arca-Swiss compatible quick-release clamp — Features a safety latch to prevent accidental opening (an upgrade over earlier models like the MPG-01 or MPG-01S).

Construction — CNC-machined from durable 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, lightweight yet robust.

Mounting — Arca-type dovetail base with 3/8″-16 threaded socket for direct attachment to monopods or compatible clamps.

Typical specs (based on series) — Approximately 325g weight, dimensions around 106 × 63 × 80 mm, load capacity up to ~22 lb (10 kg).
