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.

About Really Right Stuff TFC-24L Series 2 Mk2 Fixed Apex Ultralight Carbon Fiber Tripod, Long, Payload 70 lb, Max. Height 66.3"

If you're seeking a top-tier, lightweight, and durable tripod, look no further than the TFC-24L Series 2 Mk2 Fixed Apex Ultralight 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod, Long. Since our inception in 2009, we've been committed to crafting the world's finest carbon fiber tripods, and this model is no exception.

Our dedication to continuous improvement, driven by invaluable customer feedback, has resulted in enhanced ergonomics for a more comfortable and seamless operation. The TFC-24L Mk2 Tripod features additional 1/4"-20 sockets on the apex, providing the flexibility to attach optional accessories and shoulder-strap mounts.

The Mark 2 tripods are designed for speed and durability, with faster lock/unlock mechanisms and superior resistance to the elements. We've redesigned the twist-locks to prevent contamination from grit and debris, ensuring longevity and smooth operation. Each leg features a vent at the top, facilitating efficient air transfer for rapid deployment and takedown.

Our unwavering attention to detail and high-quality craftsmanship remain at the heart of our operations. We take pride in hand-assembling all our tripods in the USA. The TFC-24L Mk2 Tripod incorporates most features from the TVC-24L Mk2, but with a fixed apex for a more compact design.

Ideal for mid-sized gear combinations, including most DSLR cameras and 70-200mm/f2.8 & 300mm/f4 telephotos, the Mk2 Series 2 tripods offer high load capacity while maintaining portability. Expand the utility of the TVC-24L Mk2 with our unique accessories. Add a quick-column for extra height, or a leveling base for instant leveling. You can even combine the leveling base with the quick-column for an adjustable height leveling base, making it perfect for most landscape photography.

In summary, the TFC-24L Series 2 Mk2 Fixed Apex Ultralight 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod, Long, is a testament to our commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction.
