Really Right Stuff TVC-44 Heavy Duty Tripod — Usage Notes

See previous notes.

I generally prefer working with larger models, in part because of the solidity and the wider leg-spread. Also, the knobs are easier to grasp and operate with bare hands or gloves and I the larger diameter legs just fit my hands better too.

I’ve been using the Really Right Stuff TVC-44 tripod in the field (with Arca Swiss Cube) and have found that my expectations are met: the study construction includes a weightiness that feels ruggedly sturdy and is less prone than lighter tripods to being jostled with slight inadvertent bumps (easy to do in uneven terrain). The TVC-44 now becomes my tripod of choice when I don’t have to carry it very far and/or when supporting heavier gear. For any long lens work, it’s a compelling choice. But odd as it might sound, I prefer working with it even with small cameras simply because of the way it solidly plants itself.

However it is a heavy tripod (7.1 lb / 3.2 kg), and anyone of lighter build might find it a bit awkward when supporting the full weight with head, such as when holding it and extending the leg sections. But there are ways to do that without hefting it.
