Really Right Stuff TVC-24, Carbon Tripod, Series 2

The TVC-24 Mk2 Tripod is smaller and lighter than RRS Series 3, and perfectly complement RRS BH-40 ballhead. They offer the benefits of both a compact traveler and a Versa-style tripod, all in one. 

Mk2 Series 2 tripods are the perfect choice for mid-sized gear combos. Common mid-sized gear includes most DSLR cameras and 70-200mm/f2.8 & 300mm/f4 telephotos. Given its high load capacity, a Versa Series 2 tripod is also a great solution for shooters who need maximum support but want to keep their tripod as portable as possible.
Unique accessories further expand the utility of the TVC-24 Mk2. Add a quick-column for more height, or use a leveling base for instant leveling. Optionally, add the leveling base to the quick-column and give your tripod an adjustable height leveling base! Ideal for most landscape photography.

The TVC-24 Mk2 from Really Right Stuff is a lightweight, mid-range Series 2 carbon fiber tripod designed for use in both the field and studio.

Constructed from Really Right Stuff's patented carbon fiber weave, the TVC-24 weighs in at an impressive 3.3 lb and can safely support up to 40 lb. Its 4-section leg design allows the tripod to extend to a maximum height of 49.4" and lower down to a minimum working height of just 3.4".

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. 

Features: 

• Twist locks with integrated wipers to keep particles out of the locking mechanism, providing better resistance to the elements
• Improved knurling pattern feels 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 allow 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
