1. SUREGRIP™ APEX LOCK
   Other tripods rely on a split apex to keep your accessories in place, and inherently suffer from a weakened structure and a lock that relies on friction alone. If inadvertently loosened, it is possible for the center platform/column to fall out. We solved this problem with the Really Right Stuff exclusive SureGrip™ Apex Lock system. Our solid aluminum apex has a high strength stainless steel ring that mechanically locks into place with set screws. In the locked position, all set screw heads are flush or slightly below the outside surface of the apex ring. In order for the platform or column to be removed, all three set screws must be loosened sufficiently to allow the SureGrip™ Apex Lock Ring to clear the corresponding channel in the platform/column. This gives the photographer a visual safety indicator. Carry your tripod over your shoulder with complete confidence.

    

2. OFFSET LEG JOINTS
   Tripods must occasionally withstand tremendous bending and torsion loads. It is crucial that the angle stops and all other structural joints are well supported. Our tripods have offset leg joints to align the apex with both the angle stops and leg walls. This allows loads to be transferred straight through the strongest points of the structure, while providing greatest possible vibration damping. Another benefit is that the tripod is more compact when collapsed.

    

3. RATCHETING ANGLE STOP
   When setting the leg angles, it is important that the angle stop be fully seated into position. On Versa tripods it is simple. Just pull out the stop, raise the leg, and it will automatically engage into place beginning at the highest setting. Pulling the legs back down will ratchet the stop into place at the lower settings. This makes it fast, simple, keeps your fingers safe from pinches, and reassures that your tripod’s leg angles are set properly.

    

4. RUBBER TWIST LOCKS
   Because of the built in anti-rotation of the carbon fiber legs, the twist lock knobs can be rotated independently. The textured semi-hard rubber exterior allows for easy adjustments and outstanding grip with or without gloves.

    

5. TEARDROP RUBBER FEET
   The unique large diameter teardrop shape keeps leg sidewalls from touching the ground even at the lowest settings and makes positive contact with the ground at any angle. The feet may be interchanged with Really Right Stuff Stomping Spikes or Rock Claws to accommodate the toughest terrain. (Accessories sold separately).

    

6. WEIGHT HOOK
   Hanging a weight enhances the stability of your tripod by keeping it firmly anchored to the ground.
