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. I'm curious of any recommendations for a tripod that can be used both for photography purposes, but also have the ability to mount a motorized astrophotography tracking head to it at a later time? Id rather splurge on the tripod, being I'd use it for both. Id like it to be backwards compatible with either / or, multiple types of head options (basically be as future proof as it could be). Any advice would be really appreciated! Budget, midrange, and top of the line suggestions would be awesome! Id end up buying a higher end ($1000-ish) tracking head. Willing to hear what else you all suggest! Thanks

A: The Robus RC-5570 Vantage Series 3 Carbon Fiber Tripod, BH # RORC5570 would be an excellent option at the lower price point based on your particular application. https://bhpho.to/3kPROj6

Q: 3. 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).
