Really Right Stuff TA-3-FS Versa Foot Spike

Really Right Stuff TA-3-FS Versa Foot Spike, precise support for your tripod

Sometimes a slightly unstable surface is enough to ruin the perfect shot. With the Really Right Stuff TA-3-FS Versa Foot Spike, you get exactly the missing piece that anchors your tripod in the ground instead of just placing it on top. The single spike is specifically designed to securely fix a monopod or a single leg of a tripod in the ground, whether in the forest, on a wet meadow, or in scree somewhere in the mountains.

You screw the spike onto your tripod leg, set up, and immediately notice how the tip digs into the surface. No more annoying slipping, no constant readjustment. Especially with long focal lengths or long exposures, this small, robust foot spike makes a surprisingly big difference.

Stainless steel for tough outdoor use

The Versa Foot Spike is made of high-quality stainless steel and is therefore designed for long-term outdoor use. Rain, mud, snow, or damp forest soil are no problem for this accessory. It is designed to still screw cleanly into the thread and hold reliably even after many trips.

Thanks to the material, the spike feels pleasantly solid without being unnecessarily bulky. With a weight of about 71 g per spike, it has enough substance to work stably, yet remains light enough so your tripod setup does not become unnecessarily heavy. For outdoor photography, nature and landscape shots, or even sports and wildlife situations, this is a very practical combination.

Automatic thread locking without additional tools

A small but important detail: The Really Right Stuff TA-3-FS is designed so that it does not loosen itself from the thread. The integrated ABP seal ensures that the spike sits securely in the 3/8 inch UNC photo thread without you needing a separate thread locker or screw locking compound.

You simply screw in the spike, tighten it properly, and can then focus on your subject instead of loose tripod feet. The thread length of about 7 mm is chosen to provide a stable fit while remaining compatible with many tripods. Especially in rough use, when you move or rotate the tripod frequently, this automatic locking pays off.

Compatible with Really Right Stuff tripods and Gitzo tripods

The TA-3-FS Versa Foot Spike is compatible with all Really Right Stuff tripods and monopods that have a 3/8 inch thread on the tripod legs. In addition, it fits Gitzo tripods of series 2 to 5 with a 3/8 inch thread mount. So if you already use a high-quality tripod from Really Right Stuff or Gitzo, this spike integrates seamlessly into your existing system.

The combination of a 3/8 inch UNC photo thread and the specially matched thread length of approximately 7 mm makes the spike a very flexible accessory. You can equip individual tripod legs with spikes or upgrade only a monopod, depending on how you work. This keeps your setup modular and adaptable.

Made in the USA, precise manufacturing and high build quality

The Really Right Stuff TA-3-FS Versa Foot Spike is manufactured in the USA, and you can tell by the consistently clean workmanship. The threads run precisely, the edges are neatly finished, and the surface of the stainless steel looks robust and high-quality. This accessory is not intended as a disposable product, but as a durable addition to your tripod system.

The combination of careful manufacturing and well-thought-out design ensures that the spike works reliably even with frequent use. For photographers and videographers who spend a lot of time outdoors and need to rely on their equipment, this is a clear advantage.
