Questions & Answers

Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?Stephen M : Superior productHENRY S : I wanted a tripod that folded up small enough for my luggage but also hefty enough to accommodate my D500 and 5 lb. telephoto.JOHN W : I purchased this TVC-24 as a slightly smaller and lighter alternative to my existing TVC-34. I intend to use this tripod with my recently purchased BH-40 ball head, which is half the size and weight of the BH-55 ball head that I have on my TVC-34. This may be used for travel, or when I just don't feel like carrying the extra size and weight of the larger combo.

Great Tripod

Wanted a really nice tripod and my Gizo is getting old. This new tripod somehow feels lighter. The twist locks are just as I expected and wow the height is amazing. I didn't have a really high tripod and this one gets you all you could ask for. It's RRS so you know it is not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Last Tripod Purchase (ever)

After dealing with sub-standard or heavy tripods, I finally came to the realization that a quality tripod more than pays for itself in the long run. However, when I decided to buy this tripod, most vendors, including the manufacturer did not have it. I was surprised to find it at Adorama. The tripod itself is very lightweight and almost as tall as I am (6?6?). With my ball head and camera attached, I will not need to extend the legs completely. The tripod is rock steady as well. It is definitely what I needed.

Quality

Quality build. Very stable platform. Works well with my RRS BH-40 ball head. Only complaint is the cost. Highly recommend.

RRS Tripod

This is a very well made tripod. Not sure it's worth the money, but I purchased for the stability and customer support/future parts if needed. There are others half the price, but if I need to repair customer service is not at the same level.

Amazing tripod and rock solid.

I'm not sure why the previous review is 1 star since it describes the tripod as being excellent. As it is. Quality and stability of this tripod is top-notice. Like many people, I came to this after buying Chinese knockoff tripods. They're great for the price, but when you compare a RRS tripod to one of those after a few years of use you'll see why these cost two or three times the price. They are rock solid.

Quality.

Well built - quality - expensive, but it is the probably the last tripod I'll ever buy. Important factors in the decision to buy this were the weight capacity, length when collapsed, maximum and minimum height.

A Truly Great Tripod

I had to replace my aluminum Gitzo Traveller tripod. Back issues made it a problem to stoop over for hours. I've had it for twenty years. The center column could be raised, but I don't like that solution out in the wind for landscapes, seascapes, and woodland photography. My old tripod was around 5' tall. I'm 6' tall. This tripod comes without a center column and is over my head. No more stooping. Excellent engineering and build quality, expected from RRS. This RRS tripod is lighter than my old Gitzo and folds up in the same space. I love this new tripod. I made a really smart decision to buy it.

It’s Really Right Stuff

The precision and quality are of the highest level. If you can swing the price, you won’t be disappointed. RRS earns the price through quality of product.

When it comes to professional photography and videography, the TVC-24 Series 2 Mk2 Versa Apex 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod stands out as a top-tier choice. Since our initial launch of carbon fiber tripods in 2009, we've been steadfast in our mission to create the world's finest tripods, incorporating invaluable customer feedback to continuously enhance our products.

The TVC-24 Mk2 Tripod, a product of our unwavering commitment to high-quality craftsmanship, boasts improved ergonomics for a more comfortable and seamless operation. It's equipped with additional 1/4"-20 sockets along the apex, providing the flexibility to attach optional accessories and shoulder-strap mounts.

Our Mark 2 tripods, including this model, feature redesigned twist-locks that effectively prevent grit and debris contamination, ensuring longevity and optimal performance. They're also quicker to lock and unlock, and more resilient against the elements. A unique vent at the top of each leg facilitates efficient air transfer, enabling rapid deployment and takedown.

Despite being smaller and lighter than our Series 3 pods, the TVC-24 Mk2 Tripod perfectly complements our BH-40 ballhead. It offers the dual benefits of a compact traveler and a Versa-style tripod, making it an ideal choice for mid-sized gear combos, including most DSLR cameras and 70-200mm/f2.8 & 300mm/f4 telephotos.

With its high load capacity, this Versa Series 2 tripod is also an excellent solution for those seeking maximum support without compromising on portability. Enhance its utility further with our unique accessories. Add a quick-column for additional height, or a leveling base for instant leveling. You can even combine the leveling base with the quick-column to give your tripod an adjustable height leveling base, perfect for most landscape photography.

As with all our tripods, the TVC-24 Mk2 is proudly hand-assembled in the USA, reflecting our commitment to detail and quality. Whether you're a professional photographer or a passionate hobbyist, this durable, lightweight, and versatile tripod is designed to elevate your shooting experience.

Really Right Stuff Versa Features

  • Twist locks with integrated wipers to keep particles out of the locking mechanism, providing better resistance to the elements

  • Threaded sockets on the sides of the apex provide better placement for accessories like QD attachments or a BC-18

  • 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
