The TVC-24 Versa Mk2 from Really Right Stuff is a lightweight, mid-range Series 2 carbon fiber tripod designed for use in both the field and studio.

Constructed from Really Right Stuff's patented carbon fiber weave, the TVC-24 weighs in at an impressive 3.3 lb and can safely support up to 40 lb. Its 4-section leg design allows the tripod to extend to a maximum height of 49.4" and lower down to a minimum working height of just 3.4".

Quick set-up and break-down is facilitated by easy-to-use twist locks that require just a quarter rotation to unlock and re-lock each leg section. This design also helps to maintain the tripod's slim folded silhouette. Additionally, when traveling with or storing the tripod, the entire support can fold down to just 19.1" in length, small enough to travel or hike with.

Each leg is attached to the tripod's collar via an offset leg joint that helps to evenly distribute heavy loads and maintain the tripod's rigidity. The joints and collar itself are constructed of lightweight anodized aluminum which, aside from lending inherent strength to the tripod, also provides it with natural wear and corrosion resistance. Each one of the three leg joints also feature a ratcheting angle stop that automatically locks into place as the legs are folded downward into "standard" position.

The TVC-24's feet are a unique teardrop shape, which prevents the leg sections from touching the ground at even the lowest height settings and the most unusual angles. Their rubber exterior provides a non-slip grip on nearly any surface and can be used both indoors and outdoors without concern. For users wishing to change the native rubber feet to metal "all-terrain" spikes, a set of metal spikes are available separately.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. The TFC-34 has different load capacities depending on the leg positions. I that also the case for the TVC-34?

A: Unlike the Really Right Stuff TFC-34 MK2 Series3 Ultralight Carbon Fiber Tripod (58.3"), B&H # RETFC34M2V2, the Really Right Stuff TVC-34 Versa Series 3 Mk2 Carbon Fiber Tripod does not have specified load capacities for each leg section. It's important to note that the stability and payload capacity may decrease when the thinner section is fully extended. The environment and surface the tripod is being used in may also affect the tripod. The overall payload for the TVC-34 is up to 50lb.

Q: 2. Would this be tall enough for someone 61? Id go for the L but like being able to put it in carry-on luggage.

A: I am just over 6 feet and find the 34L perfect for me, but unless your carry-on is huge, it likely won't fit as the tripod alone (no head) is every bit of 24 inches long. You'd be better off carrying it separately, or pairing it with a true travel tripod.

Q: 3. Will the Really Right Stuff TA-3(https://a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1300996-REG/really_right_stuff_ta_3_lb_hk_versa_series_3_leveling.html target= _blank www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1300996-REG/really_right_stuff_ta_3_lb_hk_versa_series_3_leveling.html/a) fit on this?

Q: 4. Does anyone know what the length is for the last leg extension? The one closest to the ground. Im trying to determine the tripod height if that leg extension is left in a retracted state, and if it would be a perfect tripod for me in that state. I am 4.3 in height.

A: The length of the last leg tube is 18 3/8", but I don't think that isn't the most accurate way to measure its height since the legs are at an angle. I measured the tripod's height with only the top two sections extended and it measures 51 5/8" (4' 3", what a coincidence).

Q: 5. The specs for this tripod says the Closed Length is 21.1" / 53.6 cm. Is this correct? I want to put in my carry on luggage bag.

A: Yes, the Really Right Stuff TVC-34 Versa Series 3 Mk2 Carbon Fiber Tripod is 21.1 inches when folded/collapsed to its smallest size and without a head attached.
