In this video I review the Really Right Stuff 34L tripod.. in my opinion the best tripod for landscape photography due to its size, stability and build quality

Reading some of the comments I think a lot of people are missing the message here from Nick. This opinion that the RRS tripod is the best money can buy is Nick's opinion and he says that in his opening comments. I use Gitzo Mountaineering range which I love however my opinion is that RRS 34L is the best tripod money can but. The reason I bought the Gitzo over the RRS was all to do with shipping to Australia where I'm from.

I have the non- L (not tall) version of this tripod. It really is fantastic. Very solid and yet light. I use mine for architectural photography a lot which means that I use a big heavy geared head (Manfrotto 405) most of the time. If you are not a fan of center columns, this tripod might change you mind. I got the optional center column which saves my butt when I want to make small adjustments to the camera height. The center column on this thing is a beast! SUPER solid and stable. I never feel like I am compromising stability. My vote is get this tripod with the center column and you have the best of both worlds: smaller tripod when you don't need the column and the same (ridiculous) height when you need it. Thanks Nick!

I have the same exact tripod and I added the adjustable center (Elia Locardi's recommendation), and I use it all the time. They aren't cheap but you will never regret it. I've used it for a year and a half with no issue. I put it in my checked bag when I travel. If I can't, I use a Gitzo Mountaineer that is really too small for serious work but will do in a pinch. I also recommend the RRS ball heads. Like you said their products aren't cheap and for some small things there are cheaper and just as good options. Great video Nick.

Nick, I just love your informative reviews! That RRS tripods is certainly nice, but for my style of landscape photography, I find the Leofoto Ranger Camo series more than sufficient. Load capacity is 35 lbs, which is of course overkill. BTW, is that an Acratech ball head you have on it?

About six years ago I was up in California and called in at Really Right Stuff in SLO from my home in Western Australia and checked out their gear; it was great and they were really helpful though just out of my price range a little. I finished up getting the Gitzo GT3541XLS which as you say has similar features. Like you I had run through the gamut of using inferior product so I bit the bullet and happy to have done so. For me I love the twist locking system rather than the clip lock which is far too frail. Thanks for your posts.

Hey Nick thanks for this video. I was all over your Feisol videos and they helped me decide to pass on that model. RRS is way too expensive here in Japan, so today I went with a Gitzo 35 series, extra long version. I think it goes even higher than your RRS. Besides what you mentioned about hillsides and water work, another important function of these super high tripods is raising the perspective of the camera in architecture/real estate, in high-ceiling rooms. I also totally agree with that `buy nice or buy twice` line: same is true for lenses and data cards, in my experience. Thanks again, and I love your work.

It looks great, they really do. But I bought an Innorel 80 (and you could buy a 90 if you want it bigger) and it looks really the same. The Innorel is without centre column 160 cm high. With head it is 170 cm or so. Which is close to where my eyes are at. No centre column means it is very rigid, I do not like these column to much for especially long exposures. Etcetc. The innorel is very well made, the carbon legs are 33 mm (the 90 is 40 mm) and very stiff. When I twist the locks and hold the tripod down I get the legs extend purely due to gravity. My Rollei carbon tripod which is more expensive doesn't do that at all. So 130 euro which includes shipping without a central column and no ballhead, but with feet and spikes and the option to install a bowl (for 16 euro including shipping) is a really fantastic price. The bowl is superhandy to get the tripod level without having to move the legs. Yes you can also do it with the ballheadd but the bowl to my mind is easier. One thing: I did have to make 2 out of the three legs fluent by extending them and collapsing them a few times. Also the nuts at the tripod head were really stiff. Just make it a little looser and it is perfect. Like you say: sooner or later you'll need to twist them so it is nothing specific to this tripod.Whether it is Innorel or Benxi or whatever...a tripod of that for 130 euro is a steal. The 90 version with 40 mm diametre carbon leg (topleg) is 212 euro. I mean if I by a Leophoto or Benro it is 600 euro or more and they are at least comparable.One thing: I only have the thing for a day now so longterm might be different. But as it is for anyone not wanting to shell out so much for the RRS there is a cheap and reliable alternative for a fraction of the cost. Even for a fraction of the Mefoto, benro and what not.

I’ve been using a cheap $130 tripod for years because it was a gift from my spouse. I now have an excuse to upgrade because its failing. My biggest debate right now is, what is the max height i should get. I was thinking something that when fully extended would be exactly nearest my eye level for ease of setup. But, this video gives me some points to - though I don’t know if the ability to shoot on an incline outweighs faster setup. I do shoot primarily landscape with an interest in wildlife - is the extra versatility just better?

I've seen the Really Right Stuff TVC-34L in person so I know. This is my 2nd Sirui product so I know they hold up well enough. I think in terms of vibration dampening, Gitzo is still better than either of these products. I'd really like someone to do a laser pointer test on these to see how much difference there are among them.

Nick Page Carbon fiber is actually relatively cheap compared to exotic metals. Even a regular consumer can buy a 100 yard roll of this stuff for about 2 grand. Labor and parts only amounts to 20 to 30% of their tripods. The reason why RRS and Gitzo can charge so much for them is because they have brand recognition and the barrier to entry is relatively high for something so niche.

Floppy legs. I've had the RRS -24 for 3 years. It works and has worked well for that time with one exception: floppy legs. The connection at the spot where the leg is hinged to the base would lose friction and when I would pick the tripod up, the leg would be loose. In the process of setting it up, I had to be especially careful. I went to the RRS site and found a video about the problem and how to solve it. I called an got a free tube (1 1/4" X 1/4" - about) mailed without charge of some blue stuff that I applied and that kept the legs appropriately tight. The next time I needed the blue stuff, I was charged postage. I've bought a pack of ten and keep two tubes double-wrapped in my gear bag. I let it cure overnight when needed. It's inconvenient. When I don't have floppy leg problems, the tripod is okay. I've had other owners write they have not had a similar experience. The video is no longer posted. Perhaps the problem has been solved. I plan to buy Girtzo when I next buy a tripod.
@NickPage7 жыл бұрын
I know several other users, and floppy leg syndrome seems to be an issue for them from time to time, but lubricating that sleeve always seems to work for them. I am pretty sure that for a heavy user of a tripod, lubricating that sleeve just needs to be something that gets done when you clean and maintenance the tripod. It will likely happen on all tripods.
@jimkeener37737 жыл бұрын
It's not lubrication, Nick. It helps the hinges have enough friction for stability. And the issue is a design flaw. Also the legs can lose friction at any time, causing a failure in the middle of a shoot, as has happened to me. It can be a very frustrating experience for someone wanting to buy top of the line. RRS used to sell Gitzo sticks, describing them as the best made. I think they were right.

There is one big issue I don't quite understand that is why nearly all high-end tripod don't have center column. I think in both portrait and landscape shoot, having a center column provides more versatile. It will be much more convenient when adjusting the hight frequently. Apart from holding super telephoto lens, it's quite stable, most landscape photographer don't use such a heavy canon and most of upper 3 series tripod don't have such a feature. This tripod is very tall, but I found most photographer(except low angle need) always choose a not very tall tripod to them. I think bow too much to aim and shoot is quite a agony. Is there any insides in it that I didn't know so I ask like this? Thanks.

Nick - I have enjoyed most of your videos, including this one. However, I was disappointed that you did not address the head on top. It does not look like an RRS head, so maybe that's why you avoided it, but I would like to have learned more about it, and, for that matter, why you didn't just buy the RRS BH55 head. I've been wanting a RRS tripod for a while now, particularly for its quality and carbon fiber legs. However, I own two Gitzos, each of which I bought new - one in 1985, and the other in 1993. They are as good and dependable today as they were when new. They just don't wear out, so my problem is trying to "justify" a RRS replacement. PS - I own plenty of RRS attachments and brackets, etc. All outstanding quality and precision. PSS - I've NEVER had a problem with the legs loosening, as you mentioned on the RRS. Anyway, keep up the good videos. And mention your "head" somewhere in your talks.

Tony Lawton copy? No...not. Many feel RRS is still superior quality

for my $20K plus Leica M10P and Noctilux M-50 f/0.95 50mm lens, there is nothing I will trust other than a RRL tripod... period.

HI Nike, great Video. As you know I have that same tripod and love it. I agree with you about buying the best and not buying cheaper tripods only to have them fail. Another topic I'd like you to research since you do s lot of low light and night sky photography. Here is an interesting link. I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on this filter. petapixel.com/2016/12/22/slide-filter-cuts-light-pollution-canon-nikon-dslrs/ Joe

just a random question, are you sponsored by under armour? i like their stuff too, but i see you wearing only under armour hats... lol
@NickPage7 жыл бұрын
+hobin sohn oh man that's funny lol no but I promise I'm not. But you're right that's pretty much the only kind of hat I wear these days. I think mostly because the logos aren't quite so blatant I hate wearing stuff with logos but for some reason I don't mind the Under Armour hat

Write them a letter or email them, being sponsor by them would awesome.

Why didn't you reveal the price of the tripod in the video? I was waiting for you to do that. You kept saying that if you can afford it, it's worth buying. Then...no price. Disappointing and frustrating for me, the viewer. Then again, maybe there's a reason why you couldn't reveal the price. If there was a reason, please let me know. Otherwise, this is something you might consider changing in future videos.

Ira Bruce Levine he showed a link to where you can buy it in the video. You must have blinked.

... you mean to tell me that a tripod is worth $1,000. this is fake information. I can buy 20 tripods at Costco that will last my generation for 1,363 years before I buy one really rip off pod

spoken like someone that doesn't shoot on a tripod often. If you use one as often as I do, its worth the money.
