The Redged RTC-424 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 center column extend to a maximum height of 59.4" and fold down to just 20.1".
The RTC-424 includes many features that professionals expect: anti-rotation legs for quick setup, a relatively high load capacity of 18.7 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-424. At only 2.4 lb, this Steady tripod is an excellent choice for backpackers and other traveling photographers.
