The Redged RTC-428 Steady 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod is a versatile, lightweight tripod that supports a good deal of weight for such a portable model. Composed of lightweight, rigid carbon fiber, the 4-section legs and the center column extend to a generous maximum height of 61.8" and fold down to just 20.9".
The RTC-428 includes many features that professionals expect: anti-rotation legs for quick setup, a relatively high load capacity of 24.3 lb, a reversible center column, and a counterweight hook for attaching a ballast for added stability during windy shoots. In addition, both the twist locks and the center column are designed to prevent sand and dust from invading the RTC-428. At only 3.3 lb, this Steady tripod is an excellent choice for backpackers and other traveling photographers.
- Carbon Tubes
- Leg tubes consist of a unique combination of carbon fiber material. The result: extreme strength and rigidity, with a high degree of vibration reduction
- Non-Rotation Legs
- Because of the non-rotation system, all locks of each leg can be opened at the same time, in one movement. Setup happens in a matter of seconds
- Easy Lock Rings
- The Redged ring-locking system keeps dust and sand from entering the tripod, ensuring perfect operation. It requires no extra power to achieve a safe locking
- Column-Locking Ring with Wings
- The wings ensure tight locking of the center column when heavy photographic gear is placed on the tripod. Rubber sealing prevents sand from entering the locking mechanism
- Three Leg Positions
- Besides the normal position, the tripod offers the extra-low position for low viewpoints and ground-level macro subjects, and a middle position for table-top photography and macro photography (flowers, insects, etc.)
- Stability Hook
- The counterweight hook is designed for attaching extra weight (a photo bag, or a bag with sand or stones), to increase the stability of the tripod, especially during windy conditions
- Extra-Low Position Set
- For extra-low positions, the center column can be removed. The top disc can be mounted directly on the tripod chassis
- Reversible Column
- By inverting the center column, it is possible to realize even lower camera positions and macro positions. This is also great for making reproductions of flat objects, using the setup as a sort of copy stand
- Reversible Mounting Screw
- Reversible screw has both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads, so any photo head or other accessory can be attached
- Rubber Feet
- Universal rubber feet, suitable for many surfaces
- Leveling Bubble
- High-precision leveling bubble makes for perfectly leveled shots
- All-Weather Foam Grip
- Luxury leg covers for easy handling and comfort in cold temperatures
- Tripod Bag Included
- Supplied with a high-quality tripod bag
