The Best Travel Tripod

I?ve been looking for a compact travel tripod, which sometimes take many visit to camera stores. And many time the actual tripod you are looking for would not be available locally. Ever since the announcement and release of this RRS Ascend include the head back in December 2020, I?ve been setting my eyes on it. Curious how it looks in person, but again to no local availability then I have to be on waitlist on few online retailers include RRS site. Early this month, I was browsing Adorama site and came across that they have few in stock. I right away placed my order. Item was shipped in time which no surprise here. I?ve been Adorama customer for quite a while now dated early 2000. Back to the Tripod, once I?ve received and opened the box, all is as expected! Very light, solid and intuitive head which is part of the middle leg section. You can definitely take the middle section, and leave a small length for the head to be able to shoot with low angle on the ground. The ball head is sturdy enough to hold my Hasselblad X1D or 907X with variety of lens combo (up to 135 plus tele converter). It?s solidly built as any other RRS product, I have the TVC 33 with BH 55 head. And this is a very well designed travel tripod. If you have a heavier gear, you might want to look something else. This would be a nice travel companion if you want to travel light with 1 camera and a lens or two. All the dimensions are as stated on product description. I?m a 5?11 guy, if that?s any help for those who have been eyeing on this tripod. Thank you Adorama for having this in stock! I?m a happy camper for now!

ascent tripod 14

Ascend-14 Tripod.

Every detail reimagined for today’s serious adventurer. The ultimate integration of precision engineering and superior performance (and fits in your carry-on).

compact and portable

New Tripod, Same RRS Standard.

rigid carbon fiber tube tripod
27624ascend-components-aluminium_37661.jpg

ALUMINIUM.

All aluminum components are CNC-machined from T6061 aluminum stock and type-2 anodized to protect against wear.

27624ascend-components-clevis_35495.jpg

VENTED CLEVIS & MAGNETIC PULL-TABS.

The air vents prevent pressure gradients from building up, allowing smoother leg extraction and collapse.

27624ascend-components-carbonfiber_92370.jpg

CARBON FIBER.

Our carbon fiber is produced using a unique weave pattern. This leads to a stronger and stiffer tube, while also staying lightweight.

27624ascend-components-twistlocks_01128.jpg

TWIST LOCKS.

Sealed twist locks minimize fouling, extend twist lock life and simplify maintenance.

INTEGRATED BALL HEAD.

Everything you love about our ball heads and panning bases in one versatile head.

INTEGRATED BALL HEAD.
27624ascend-ballhead-panning_63833.jpg

PANNING BASE.

Independent panning on top of the ball head allows quick leveling and smooth, accurate pans.

27624ascend-ballhead-nestedballhead_72304.jpg

NESTING BALL HEAD.

With the center-column collapsed, the 22mm ball nests into the apex for reduced total length and enhanced stability.

27624ascend-ballhead-hexkey_54474.jpg

HEX KEY STORAGE.

A custom compact hex key stows elegantly in the clamp for convenient access anytime.

27624ascend-ballhead-qrclamp_29705.jpg

RRS QUICK-RELEASE CLAMP.

Lever-operated quick-release system securely clamps onto 1.5" RRS standard dovetails.

ADAPTABLE QUICK-COLUMN.

Benefit from the added height without the ground-level limitations of a typical quick-column. Simply detach, flip, and lock to get that ground-level shot.

ADAPTABLE QUICK-COLUMN.
27624ascend-qcolumn-compactshape_35885.jpg

COMPACT SHAPE.

Triangular shaped column allows the tripod legs to be closer together when folded, reducing the packed diameter of the tripod.

27624ascend-qcolumn-detachable_83671.jpg

REMOVEABLE LOWER SECTION.

The lower section of the quick-column can easily be removed without tools in order to lower the tripod to ground level. It can also be removed for a lighter setup.

27624ascend-qcolumn-weighthook_37708.jpg

WEIGHT HOOK.

This can be used to hang weight from the bottom of the column in order to increase the tripod's stability.

27624ascend-qcolumn-safetystops_06985.jpg

SAFETY STOPS.

When shooting underneath the tripod or quickly moving from location to location, the safety stop will keep your gear from accidentally falling to the ground. It can easily be turned on or off by the user.
