You Won't Find a Better Tripod

The Really Right Stuff TFC-24L tripod is just great! I needed a tripod that would be more secure to hold my 70-200 mm zoom lens, and this tripod more than handles it! I do HDR photography where you bracket a number of frames where you need your tripod to be be rock solid. I also do long exposure seascape photography where you need your camera to be as steady as possible, especially with water flowing around the base in soft sand. It can go as high as 75 inches and as low as about 4 inches. It's a fairly lightweight tripod and has a payload of 70 pounds! This will be the last tripod I will ever need and I'm so glad I have it!

Very impressed

This is a surprisingly good tripod. It is about as stable as the Gitzo 1325 it replaces, yet is smaller, lighter and extends higher. I have only used it on one photo trip of a few days, but I am extremely happy with it.

Satisfied customer.

A tremendous upgrade from my old aluminum tripod. Light weight, yet very stable. The extra length fits my 5?10? frame perfectly.

Great piece of kit.

By Ronnie M.

Excellent build quality. This will be my new world travel companion.

With a legacy of excellence since 2009, Adorama is proud to introduce the TFC-34 Series 3 Mk2 Fixed Apex Ultralight 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod, a pinnacle of innovation and craftsmanship in the realm of photography and videography support. This state-of-the-art tripod is a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality, designed with the professional photographer and videographer in mind.

Constructed from premium carbon fiber, the TFC-34 Series 3 Mk2 is not only durable but also exceptionally lightweight, ensuring ease of transport without compromising on stability. Its sturdy build can handle the demands of heavy camera equipment, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a reliable tripod that will endure the rigors of frequent use.

The ergonomic enhancements of the Mk2 series make operation smooth and comfortable, allowing for quick adjustments and seamless transitions between shots. The tripod's apex features additional 1/4"-20 sockets, providing versatility for attaching accessories or shoulder-strap mounts, enhancing its functionality in various shooting scenarios.

Locking and unlocking the tripod is now more efficient than ever, thanks to the redesigned twist-locks that effectively keep out dirt and debris, ensuring longevity and consistent performance. The innovative venting system at the top of each leg facilitates rapid air transfer, enabling swift deployment and takedown, which is crucial in fast-paced shooting environments.

The TFC-34 Mk2 distinguishes itself with a fixed apex design, offering a more compact packing diameter compared to the TVC-34's Versa apex. While it does not accommodate accessories like a quick-column, this design choice streamlines the tripod's profile, making it even more portable and convenient for photographers on the move.

Hand-assembled with meticulous attention to detail in the USA, the TFC-34 Series 3 Mk2 Fixed Apex Ultralight 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod stands as a symbol of our dedication to providing photographers and videographers with the highest quality equipment. Whether capturing breathtaking landscapes, dynamic sports action, or cinematic video, this tripod is engineered to elevate your creative potential.

Really Right Stuff Ultralight 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
