RRS TFCX-13 vs Ascend-14

[Brado16]

Hello my fellow Wisconsinites!! I have a 34L up here in Minocqua if either of you want to try it and compare it. It’s rock solid but heavy- I wish it was a little lighter and more compact, but every time I use it to glass from or shoot from, I realize those negatives are worth it for what it provides in the field. So far this year it’s come with me to Mexico, Alaska and Utah.

Hi @B_Reynolds_AK, I know this is an older post, but are you still happy with your modified Ascend? Any wishes you would have kept the TFCX?

Anyone else have more experience or thoughts on this?

I do not want to go with a heavier tripod if possible and have heard conflicting reports regarding the Anvil-30 for shooting compared to the U-LB.

A leveling base is definitely more stable than an anvil. Easily noticeable when going between the two. They are just less adaptable as they don’t offer near the angle of adjustment.

Absolutely happy with my Ascend. For a lighter option, I now have the Aziak Ridgeline as well
