Really Right Stuff TFC-24L Mk2, Ultralight Tripod Serie 2

The TFC-24L Mk2 from Really Right Stuff is the "extra-tall" version of the traditional TFC-24 model. It has been designed for photographers who require extra height for shooting over crowds, standing in water, or for everyday photography.

Key Specs:

• Load Capacity:18,14 kg
• Max. Height: 168 cm
• Min Height: 9,5 cm
• Weight: 1,674 kg
• Folded length:58,4 cm
• Leg Section:  4

Constructed from Really Right Stuff's patented carbon fiber weave, the TFC-24L can safely support up to 40 lb of equipment. Its 4-section, extra-long leg design allows the tripod to extend to a maximum height of 66.1" and lower down to a minimum working height of just 3.7".

Quick set-up and break-down is facilitated by easy-to-use twist locks that require just a quarter rotation to unlock and re-lock each leg section. This design also helps to maintain the tripod's slim folded silhouette. Additionally, when traveling with or storing the tripod, the entire support can fold down to just 23" in length, small enough to travel or hike with.

Each leg is attached to the tripod's collar via an offset leg joint that helps to evenly distribute heavy loads and maintain the tripod's rigidity. The joints and collar itself are constructed of lightweight anodized aluminum which, aside from lending inherent strength to the tripod, also provide it with natural wear and corrosion resistance. Each one of the three leg joints also feature a ratcheting angle stop that automatically locks into place as the legs are folded downward into "standard" position.

The TFC-24L's feet are a unique teardrop shape, which prevents the leg sections from touching the ground at even the lowest height settings and the most unusual angles. Their rubber exterior provides a non-slip grip on nearly any surface and can be used both indoors and outdoors without concern. For users wishing to change the native rubber feet to metal "all-terrain" spikes, a set of metal spikes are available separately.
