Really Right Stuff TA-3-FS Versa Foot Spikes set of 3

Really Right Stuff TA-3-FS Versa Foot Spikes 3-piece set for maximum tripod stability

Sometimes a normal rubber-foot tripod just isn’t enough. When the ground is muddy, the rock is smooth, or the forest floor is covered in leaves, you want something that really digs in. That’s exactly where the Really Right Stuff TA-3-FS Versa Foot Spikes come into play. This 3-piece set is designed to turn your tripod into a rock-solid base that won’t start wobbling easily, even in wind, bad weather, or during long exposures.

With the 3-piece set you can equip all three legs of your tripod, ensuring an even, reliable footing on difficult terrain. No improvising, no mix-and-match of different feet, but a well-matched system for outdoor photography, landscape shots, long exposures, and all situations where stability is non-negotiable.

Robust stainless-steel spikes for outdoor photography and tough use

The TA-3-FS Versa Foot Spikes are made of high-quality stainless steel. That may sound unremarkable at first, but in practice it makes a huge difference, because these spikes are built for durability. Rust, moisture, cold, a bit of dirt in the thread – this accessory handles all of that with ease. Especially if you’re often in the mountains, on the coast, or in the forest, you’ll appreciate not having to constantly worry about corrosion.

Thanks to their solid construction, the spikes have a satisfying, confidence-inspiring weight. A single spike weighs 74 g, which is still easy to carry, yet provides enough mass to firmly ground your tripod leg. The length of 77 mm ensures that the tip anchors reliably in the surface without being excessively long or unwieldy. At the connection to the tripod leg, the diameter is 28 mm, which provides a solid, full-surface interface and at the same time remains pleasantly grippy when mounting or changing the spikes.

Made in the USA, precise manufacturing and high build quality

The Really Right Stuff TA-3-FS Versa Foot Spikes are manufactured in the USA and thus follow the quality standards the brand is known for. Time and again we see photographers and filmmakers say, even after years, that their RRS components just keep working. No wobbly threads, no worn-out joints, no odd tolerances. The same applies to this tripod accessory.

The precise workmanship is particularly evident in the 3/8 inch UNC photo thread. The spikes screw in smoothly, engage immediately, and sit firmly without binding. It may seem unspectacular, but when you’re standing at your spot in the cold and dark, that’s exactly the kind of thing that’s worth its weight in gold. You simply screw in the spikes, they sit, done. No fiddling, no retightening every few minutes.

ABP seal for secure hold without additional thread locker

A clever detail is the integrated ABP seal. It ensures that the spike is automatically secured against loosening from the thread. You don’t need any additional thread locker, no screw lock, nothing extra in your backpack. You screw in the spikes and the ABP seal keeps them securely in place.

This is a real advantage, especially if you change locations frequently and keep repositioning the tripod. The spikes remain firmly screwed in, even when you lift, rotate, stow the tripod in the car, or carry it in your backpack. It’s this understated but very practical detail that makes the difference in everyday use.

Compatible with Really Right Stuff tripods and 3/8 inch UNC mounts

The TA-3-FS Versa Foot Spikes are compatible with all Really Right Stuff tripods and monopods that have a matching 3/8 inch UNC threaded mount. In addition, you can also use them on many tripods from other manufacturers, provided the 3/8 inch UNC photo thread is not recessed too deeply in the tripod leg. This is important because the spikes require a certain installation depth in order to engage properly.

So if your tripod has a classic 3/8 inch UNC photo thread with a mount that is not recessed too deeply, the chances are very good that this 3-piece set will fit without any issues. This makes the set a versatile tripod accessory that you can often use not just with a single model, but with several tripods.

Tripod spikes for slippery, soft, or uneven ground

Where do these spikes really shine? Anywhere rubber feet reach their limits. On wet grass, in mud, on loose soil, in snow, on forest floors with roots, or on slightly icy surfaces. The stainless-steel tips dig into the ground and prevent your tripod from slowly sinking or slipping with the slightest movement.

For long exposures, night shots, astrophotography, time-lapse, or video recordings with longer takes, this is a real safety factor. You minimize camera shake, reduce micro-movements, and get more out of your camera and lenses. It’s a bit like putting hiking boots with spikes on your tripod instead of sending it out in slippers.
