p.1 #3 · p.1 #3 · Which tripod? Really Right Stuff 2-series or 3-series? | |
I opted for the TVC-34L over the -24L, because the ~$100 price difference and <1 lb weight difference buys you a much wider, stabler platform for loading down with equipment. I use their macro focusing rails so it's easy to move the center of mass of 5-6 pounds of gear off axis, so having the wide apex and large legs helps keep everything balanced nicely. The 2-series Gitzo wasn't up to that job, and even though the 2-series RRS appears more robust I think the 3-series gives you a nice safety margin for future gear purchases.
You probably can't go wrong either way for a 200mm and pano rig, though. One of the best purchases I've made.
