INNOREL RT90C Systematic Tripod 63in/160cm Professional Carbon Fiber Heavy Duty Camera Tripod Max Tube 40mm Max Load 88lb/40kg with 75mm Bowl Adapter Tripod Bag Spikes Ultra Stable(Tripod+BL75N)

Product Information

The legs are carbon fibre, reducing the weight to less than 3kg and, with the leg sections measuring 40mm at the top and 29mm at the bottom, there is excellent stability. Many PRS (Precision Rifle Series) shooters recommended the Innorel RT80C, but since its limit is 20 kg, I went for the bigger brother RT90C with a 40 kg capacity. Overall the stability at full height (without centre column raised) is as good as the top brands I have tried. It is also worth noting that this style of tripod is often marketed as a video tripod, but even when this is the case, there is often an option for it to be sold with a stills ball head. I am looking for something the size and weight of the Manfrotto Compact action but sturdy like the 055.

TFB Review: Innorel RT90C Carbon Fiber Tripod with Really

It would all come down to what you plan on doing with it, and how far you plan on walking, although neither is particularly heavy. You can also check our Editor Pete’s solution, with the Really Right Stuff TFCT-24L SOAR with ANVIL ball head. The pan is compatible with 75 mm or 100 mm bowls, as well as any other equipment that can be attached to the tripod directly.Family moments are precious and sometimes you want to capture that time spent with loved ones or friends in better quality than your phone can manage. Can update this too as have been using this in extreme conditions throughout the last winter in Iceland. This ball head will support large cameras with long lens combinations as well as most rifles, unless they are crazy heavy.

I'd also like to see Innorel develop a tall tripod without the centre column, similar to the Gitzo top end tripods. I use 500 and 600mm F4’s and first tried the RT-80c (for travel) as the weight rating appeared to be adequate. I have a Manfrotto 055 carbon fiber tripod which is sturdy enough for all my needs but it is too big and cumbersome to take on a hike, although not necessarily all that heavy. Cliplocks or twistlocks for the leg segments: I prefer cliplock, as all it takes is looking at it to see if it is in the locked position or not. The Innorel RT90C has a flat plate top, which is consistent with top range tripods from other manufacturers.I looked at and admired the RT_90 but I am not looking for something that big as I already have big sturdy tripods covered. So no I am mainly using it without the centre column and then adding it when I need that bit of extra height. This is where I wanted my RRS ball head (and possibly other ball heads or solutions) to go, and it fit perfectly.
