RRS teased new inverted tripod

[coya]

Looks like RRS is dropping what i would consider the ideal shooting tripod. Anybody have any details/specs ?

 

[DosAmigos]

Looks promising for sure.

Any guesses on pricing? My guess is 2k with the head.
The new Leofoto under 1k with head.
Will wait for a side by side before ordering.

 

[coya]

Definitely will be less than 2k. I called and asked some questions, their customer service is top notch. I'll be the test dummy since the tfct33 I just got is within the return window.

Very very similar specs to the fat boy tripod I just sold but almost 3 pounds lighter

Nice. 3 lbs is significant. I like my Fatboy, but a RRS inverted 3 section might be too good to pass up.

My thoughts exactly. I loved the fat boy but it was a bit much to hump around

I'm fortunate that I was within my return window on the tfct 33 I just bought, and that I was able to snag the new versa43i before they almost immediately sold out. I'll update this thread as I use the tripod

 

[JDMBEND]

Does it have locking legs?

 

[coya]

Same twist locks we're accustomed to

 

[JDMBEND]

When deployed can it be locked so the legs cannot collapse.

 

[coya]

I'm unfamiliar with that feature, I don't believe so. Their site doesn't mention it

Was able to take some photos of the invert 43i next to the tfct 33 before I boxed it up to return. Weight is 5.4 pounds. Quality is exactly what I'd expect. Only negative I could find is the twist locks are backwards but I dont think I'll really mind.
