Rated 5 out of 5

The greatest stability

Phenomenal stability while still not too heavy to hike with. Look at the specs, the 3-series legs are not much heavier than the 2-series. In fact, it’s the same difference between the fixed apex and versa. In my mind, if it’s worth spending about $1k on a tripod, it’s worth getting the most stability you can.

About Really Right Stuff TFC-33S

Since launching our first carbon fiber tripods in 2009, we have been dedicated to making the world's finest tripods. With the help of our customers' invaluable feedback, we continuously make improvements. After years of development, we are excited to present our new Mark 2 tripod line!

Improved ergonomics make operating the tripod more comfortable and seamless. Additional 1/4"-20 sockets along the outside of the tripod's apex allow you to attach optional accessories and shoulder-strap mounts. The Mark 2 tripods are faster to lock/unlock and hold up better to the elements. Redesigned twist-locks prevent grit and debris from contaminating the threads. We added a vent at the top of each leg to allow efficient air transfer when extending or collapsing, for rapid deployment and takedown.

What hasn't changed is our attention to detail, high-quality craftsmanship and commitment to proudly make and hand-assemble all our tripods in the USA.

The TFC-33S Mk2 has all the features of the TVC-33S but swaps the Versa apex for a fixed apex. The fixed apex cannot be used with accessories like a quick-column but packs smaller in diameter that the TVC-33S.

Really Right Stuff TFC-33S 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
