ALUMINIUM

All aluminum components are CNC-machined from T6061 aluminum stock and type-2 anodized to protect against wear.

VENTED CLEVIS

The air vents prevent pressure gradients from building up, allowing smoother leg extraction and collapse.

CARBON FIBER

Our carbon fiber is produced using a unique weave pattern. This leads to a stronger and stiffer tube, while also staying lightweight.

TWIST LOCKS

Sealed twist locks minimize fouling, extend twist lock life and simplify maintenance.

FEET

In addition to the pre-installed rubber feet, RRS manufactures two additional types of feet; rock claws and spike feet (sold separately).

INTEGRATED BALL HEAD

Everything you love about our ball heads and panning bases in one versatile head.

PANNING BASE

Independent panning on top of the ball head allows the user to quickly level their gear and then accurately pan or tilt.

NESTING BALL HEAD

In the collapsed position, the 22mm ball sits below the top surface of the apex. this reduces the overall size of the packed tripod.

HEX KEY STORAGE

A custom compact hex key stows elegantly in the clamp for convenient access anytime

RRS QUICK-RELEASE CLAMP

Lever-operated quick-release system securely clamps onto 1.5" RRS standard dovetails.

OPTIONAL PLATFORM

Alternatively, a platform-only option is available to users who would like the ability to screw on a separate head.

ANVIL-30 COMPATIBLE

The Ascend is designed so that our Anvil-30 shooting ball head can nest snugly into the apex.

ADAPTABLE QUICK-COLUMN

Benefit from the added height without the ground-level limitations of a typical quick-column. Simply detach, flip, and lock to get that ground-level shot.

COMPACT SHAPE

Triangular shaped column allows the tripod legs to be closer together when folded, reducing the packed diameter of the tripod.

DETACHABLE

The lower section of the quick-column can easily be removed without tools in order to lower the tripod to ground level. It can also be removed for a lighter setup.

WEIGHT HOOK

This can be used to hang weight from the bottom of the column in order to increase the tripod's stability.

SAFETY STOPS

When quickly moving from location to location, the safety stop will keep your gear from accidentally falling to the ground. It can easily be turned on or off by the user.

RAPID LOCK

The height of the column can be quickly adjusted by the lever actuated locking system.
