I've got the RSS tripod TVC-24 for travel. It works great. Considering moving up to the TVC-33 for a full size. I'm 6' 1" tall, and the RSS guys suggested that a TVC-33 would be just fine for me and the TVC-34L may be a bit too large unless I really needed the legs to extend below me.

Any tall people here using the TVC-33 have any comments?

Thanks!

    IMHO that seems like a lot of money for such a short tripod. I'm 6'9" and ended up with the Gitzo that is 78" with the leveling base for about $950 which is the same price as the RRS Tripod alone. Granted, I'd prefer to buy one made completely in the US, but long as it's not from China, I'm ok with buying from Italy. Exact model I ended up with is the GT3541XLS and I will say I'm glad I got one that tall because it's come in handy quite a few times shooting over the edge of a cliff!
