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

Really Right Stuff TFC-24 MK2 (with fixed Apex) is the perfect choice for mid-sized gear combos. Common mid-sized gear includes most DSLR cameras and 70-200mm f/2.8 & 300mm f/4 telephotos. Given its high load capacity, a Ultralight Series 2 tripod is also a great solution for shooters who need maximum support but want to keep their tripod as portable as possible.

Key Specs: 

• Load Capacity:18,14 kg
• Max. Height: 125 cm
• Min Height: 8,6 cm
• Weight: 1,542 kg
• Folded length :49 cm
• Leg Section:  4

The fixed apex cannot use accessories like a quick-column but packs down considerably smaller in diameter.   

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 19.1" 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 provides 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-24'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.

Features:

• Twist locks with integrated wipers to keep particles out of the locking mechanism, providing better resistance to the elements
• Improved knurling pattern designed to feel better on your skin
• Collets replace the old locking gibbs, reducing lock engagement to half the travel to lock and unlock faster with less effort
• O-rings help keep threads clean and smooth while providing better tactile feedback
• Vented clevis design allows legs to collapse faster without pressure buildup
• Threaded sockets on the sides of the apex provide better placement for accessories like QD attachments or a BC-18
• Less tools to carry when changing apex accessories. The 2 & 3 Series SureGrip (TVC models only) now uses the same 5/32” hex key you likely have stored on your RRS plate.
• High strength to weight ratio
• Made from CNC-machined 6061 T6 Aluminum
• Solid ring apex for strength and reliability
• Ergonomic spring-loaded pull tabs with visual lock/unlock
• Fast, modular and customizable design
