They’ve been showing up at vendors here and there. I bought my 34/Anvil a month ago just by checking a few vendors daily for a week or so.
FWIW I would’ve gone with a 24 if it wasn’t L legs only. The weight difference isn’t much between the 24L and 34 (4.59 vs 4.79#). At 5’9” I can shoot off mine standing no problem, and I put some emphasis on a smaller collapsed height. A 24 would be a perfect do-all tripod imo.
How stable is that ascend for shooting, and are you using the integrated head? Since RRS doesn’t make my perfect solution, I’ll probably be looking to add an ascend in the future.
@OP, sorry for the highjack. Buy RRS, support American manufacturing.
