Really Right Stuff TA-TLC clamp for RRS TVC tripods Series 4

TA-TLC clamp for RRS TVC Series 4, small clamp, big difference

Sometimes it’s the inconspicuous parts on the tripod that deliver the biggest “aha” effect in everyday use. The Really Right Stuff TA-TLC clamp for RRS TVC Series 4 tripods falls exactly into this category: compact, precisely manufactured, and surprisingly versatile. If you don’t just want to use your RRS TVC Series 4 tripod as a pure camera support, but as a flexible platform for accessories, then this tripod leg clamp is something like the missing piece.

The TA-TLC is mounted on the top segment of the tripod leg of the RRS TVC Series 4 and sits there securely without slipping. It offers you two cleanly machined mounting points with 1/4"-UNC threads, spaced 30 millimeters apart. This allows you to attach accessories with 1/4"-UNC threads securely and rotation-proof, for example an RRS quick-release clamp of the B2 LR type, additional brackets, small magic arms, or other tools that meaningfully expand your setup in the studio or out in the field.

Especially practical: the integrated anti-twist slot allows you to mount a ball head directly on the tripod leg. This lets you attach a second camera, a monitor, or a measuring device to the side of the leg without changing the main setup on the tripod shoulder. This turns your RRS TVC Series 4 tripod into a modular workstation in no time, ideal for landscape, macro, video, or for technical applications where several components are in use at the same time.

Precision tripod leg clamp for RRS TVC Series 4

The TA-TLC clamp is precisely matched to the diameter of the RRS TVC Series 4 tripods. With an internal width of 40.7 millimeters, it encloses the upper tripod leg perfectly. The length of 53 millimeters and the width of 54 millimeters provide a stable contact surface without unnecessarily weighing down the tripod. Weighing only 35 grams, your setup remains pleasantly light, even if you mount several accessory components.

We see the TA-TLC clamp as a discreet but very well thought-out upgrade: it can be positioned anywhere on the upper tripod leg, depending on where you prefer to place your accessories. Once tightened, it sits securely and helps you attach accessories with 1/4"-UNC threads safely, without wobbling or twisting. Especially when you work with expensive cameras, lenses, or measuring devices, this extra security simply feels better.

Flexible accessory setup with 1/4"-UNC threads

The two 1/4"-UNC threads with 30 millimeters spacing are the heart of the TA-TLC clamp. They open up a whole range of possibilities: for example, you can mount an RRS B2 LR quick-release clamp to quickly hold a second camera, or you can use the threads for a monitor mount, an LED light, a microphone arm, or other accessories. Thanks to the rotation-proof mounting, everything stays where you need it, even if you frequently change perspective or adjust the tripod.

The anti-twist slot is a small detail with a big impact. It allows you to mount a ball head directly on the leg, giving you an additional platform with its own tilt and pan range. This is particularly interesting if you want to film and photograph in parallel, if you run reference cameras, or if you want to bundle several sensors or measuring devices on one tripod in scientific applications.

Made in the USA, precise manufacturing and durable quality

The TA-TLC clamp is made in the USA and thus follows the high quality standards for which Really Right Stuff is known. The clean workmanship, the precise fit, and the robust construction are designed for daily use in the field. We would say: this is not a showpiece, this is a workhorse. The surface is hard-wearing and made for outdoor use, whether you’re standing in drizzle by the sea or out in summer dust in the mountains.

Thanks to precise manufacturing, the clamping mechanisms engage smoothly without sticking or snagging. The TA-TLC clamp is designed so that it can be mounted quickly but does not need readjustment in use. Once installed, you can rely on the stability and focus on what really matters: your subject, your shot, your project.

Easy installation and practical handling

Installing the TA-TLC clamp on the RRS TVC Series 4 tripod is intentionally straightforward. You position the clamp on the upper tripod leg, align it in the way that makes the most sense for your accessories, and tighten it. Done. No special tools, no complicated adjustments. If you later want to change your configuration, the clamp can be just as easily moved or removed.

The fact that the clamp can be positioned anywhere on the upper tripod leg makes it particularly flexible. You can place it closer to the tripod shoulder if you prefer short distances to the camera or ball head, or a bit further down if you want to mount accessories lower on the tripod leg. This way, the TA-TLC adapts to your working style, not the other way around.
