Really Right Stuff TFCT-14 Ascend Series 1 Carbon Fiber Tripod w/Anvil-30 ARC Ball Head TFCT-14-ASC-A30ARC

Really Right Stuff’s series of TFCT-14 Tripods are a result of continuous improvements based on customer feedback, and come packed with RRS exclusive features. Improvements include the R-LOCK (Rapid-Lock) safety-stop feature in the clamp, which utilizes a 5mm pin that connects with corresponding R-LOCK holes in the rail. This pin is spring loaded which automatically engages with the holes, or can be pushed down by non R-LOCK rails for use with a wide array of “arca-type” rails. The advantage to this system gives the user several “hard-stop” positions along the rail, but retains smooth edges and corners for great ergonomics and is highly resistant to wearing down. This system also helps prevent accidental repositioning of the rail within the clamp when the R-LOCK is engaged. Other features of this tripod include O-rings to keep threads clean and smooth, and a vented clevis design so legs can collapse faster without pressure buildup. This tripod also has threaded sockets on the sides of the apex for placement of accessories like QD attachments or a BC-18, and a patent-pending taper lock system that secures the ball head inside the apex making it unable to slip. In addition, the TFCT-14 is outfitted with offset leg joints, so the weight of heavy loads is distributed to the strongest parts of the tripod.
