Product Description
RRS TVC-22I MK2 SOAR Series Tripod
Since RSS launched their first carbon fiber tripods in 2009, they have been dedicated to making the world’s finest tripods. and they continuously make improvements. After years of development, RSS is excited to present their new Mark 2 Tripod line!
Improved ergonomics make operating the tripod more comfortable and seamless. Additional 1/4"-20 sockets along the outside of the tripod’s apex allow you to attach optional accessories and shoulder-strap mounts. The Mark 2 Tripods are faster to lock/unlock and hold up better to the elements. Redesigned twist-locks prevent grit and debris from contaminating the threads. They added a vent at the top of each leg to allow efficient air transfer when extending or collapsing, for rapid deployment, and take down.
What hasn’t changed is RSS's attention to detail, high-quality craftsmanship, and commitment to proudly make and hand-assemble all our tripods in the USA.
The TVC-22i Mk2 is the first ever inverted tripod in the RRS line. Weighing only 4.3 pounds yet capable of supporting 60 pounds. Our 2 Series Inverted Tripod is the perfect choice for full-sized firearm combos, needed for rock solid support of full-length rifle chassis, extreme spotting scopes, and large format surveillance equipment. While being incredibly light weight makes them easy to carry and use, this option is an easier entry point into the RRS line for the newer competitors, hunters, and hobbyists not ready to purchase a full package.
The 22i model will be a favorite among competition shooters, predator hunters, and newer flat range hobbyists. More rigid than any of our other 2 or 3 Series Tripods, the 22i with its inverted legs, makes the twist lock mechanism faster and intuitive for the timed shooter. While staying out of the mud for the predator hunter and removing unneeded twist-locks/rubber over-molds/etc for the new shooter looking for a higher quality yet affordable tripod.
The TVC-22i Mk2 has all the features of the other RRS Versa lines but is unable to accept the TFCT Apex conversion for Anvil ball head. Users wanting to create a tripod and Anvil package will have the purchase of the 2 series Anvil platform adapter (TA-2-APF).
