Re: RRS Tripods
Wow - great feedback everyone! Marc - nice to know that it survived your 10 days of punishment. I imagine you, like Dan, chose the TVC-24 over the 23 for the portability factor? I owned a Bogen/Manfrotto tripod with 4 leg segments and it drove me crazy extending it each time, but I suppose if portability is essential...… -
Re: RRS Tripods
My RRS TVC-23 was delivered yesterday. It is one sweet piece of engineering. I opted for the center column thinking I could remove it when not needed but after setting it up, the center column feels rock solid to me even when extended. I'm very happy with this purchase. Thanks to folks in this thread for the recommendation. -
RRS Tripods
Has anyone here used the TVC-33 or the new smaller TVC-23 (or 24) models from RRS? There aren't many reviews out there and I'm curious to hear from anyone that has used one. I'm particularly interested in how people feel they compare to the Gitzo line. I've long been a fan of the RRS ballheads (LOVE my BH-40). There's an… -
Re: RRS Tripods
The apex plate the head goes on is made to hold a hook so it would be knd of strange to not include one. I have the TVC-24 and it has a hook. The image of the TVC-23 shows the hook on the end of the center column, but the center column does not include a hook, so it must have come off of the apex. In any case give them a… -
Re: RRS Tripods
Rrs ftw I went to San Luis Obispo earlier this year to see (and buy one of) their tripods with a head. Before going I looked at Gitzo tripods. I was replacing a aluminum Giottos tripod that served me well but wasn't near stable enough for longer star exposures that I'm starting to do. I had narrowed my search down to the… -
Re: RRS Tripods
I see what you mean... There aren't many reviews. I also could not find any videos other than for the TVC-33. I would expect there to be at least some pictures other than what is on the rrs site for the TVC-23 and 24. On there they don't show or say if there is the hook under the head like the 33. I'd like to see them… -
Re: RRS Tripods
Thanks Dan. I still can't find this image on their site. Where is it exactly? Does it say the tripods other than the TVC-33 have this hook as well? I did find their return refund page. http://reallyrightstuff.com/WebsiteInfo.aspx?fc=6 I guess I'll get it and compare it with the gitzo and keep both! lol. What I'd like to… -
Re: RRS Tripods
I have to say that while I really love the RRS tripod, and I think it's significantly better than the Gitzo I owned previously (the 2531), the prices for the Gitzos have fallen dramatically in the last 6-12 months. Not too long ago the 2531 was about $650. Now it's about $520. Just last month you could have gotten it for… -
Re: RRS Tripods
Marc got one, and he loves it. I quickly followed suit, and got a TVC-23. I'm going to actually use it for the first time tomorrow night. But I can tell you, I like it a lot and had no trouble putting my Gitzo 2531 up for sale (although actually SELLING it is a different story!) I got mine with the spike feet, which I…
