Really Right Stuff TFC-34 Reviews

Good value for the price

The quality is excellent, but the fact that it's made in the USA makes it less cost-effective.

A dream to use

What a wonderfully machined tripod. I use it with confidence on all surfaces, in streams; muddy ground, slick rock. It does what it's supposed to do. I am mystified why RRR doesn't include a center pole and a set of ice feet. I have less expensive tripods that came with those things, included with the price. I waffled between 4 and 5 stars because of that. But it is well made.
