Crafted for precision shooters and hunters who demand rapid yet rock-solid positioning.
The RRS® Anvil-30 ARC Ball Head
The Anvil-30 ARC combines an innovative lever-lock ball mechanism with a dual Arca/Picatinny clamp, delivering fast, repeatable control for tactical and field shooting applications. Its low-profile architecture keeps mass close to the tripod apex for maximum stability under recoil, while the integrated RRS Dovetail and Picatinny compatibility give you flexibility across rifles, bipods, and glassing setups. With intuitive, one-handed operation and user-adjustable jaw width for third-party rails, the Anvil-30 is purpose-built to keep your rifle locked in and on target when speed and precision matter most.
Looking for the right tripod to pair with your Anvil-30? Our integrated TFCT series tripods come with the Anvil-30 built in.
Dual Jaw for Picatinny and Arca Compatibility
Dual-purpose jaws support both Arca-Swiss dovetails and Picatinny rails, enabling seamless use across rifles, bipods, and glassing heads in a single support system. This flexibility is ideal for shooters who regularly transition between rail types in PRS, hunting, or tactical environments.
Lever-Lock Ball Control for Rapid Precision
A lever-lock mechanism, inspired by RRS lever-release clamps, provides intuitive one-handed tension control with clear visual open/lock indicators. The design delivers instant, sag-free locking of the 30 mm ball up to ±30° tilt, enabling fast, precise corrections in dynamic shooting conditions.
Rapid Lever-Release with Effortless Top-Loading
A patented clamp lever allows finger-force gear swaps and true one-motion top-loading, so plates and rails can be dropped in from above without fighting side-entry clearance. This speeds up transitions between rifles, optics, and accessories while preserving a secure, positive lock.
Seamless Arca Compatibility with RRS Precision
The integrated clamp is built around the 1.5" RRS Dovetail Standard, delivering a strong, repeatable interface with Arca-style plates and rails. This ensures consistent registration and clamp security across RRS support gear and many third-party Arca-compatible accessories.
User-Adjustable Jaw Width via Crown Dial
A tool-free crown dial lets you fine-tune jaw width to fit a wider range of third-party plates and rails that may not match RRS tolerances exactly. This on-the-fly adjustability helps maintain secure clamping across diverse setups without sacrificing speed or confidence.
Low Center of Gravity for Maximum Stability
The 30 mm ball sits low in the housing to keep your rifle’s center of mass close to the tripod apex, reducing leverage and torsional stress on the system. This geometry improves rigidity under recoil and helps drive vibration into the carbon fiber legs for more effective damping.
RRS-LOCK with Built-In Safety Stops
RRS-LOCK mechanical safety stops interface with compatible rails to prevent unintentional slides or drops during movement or recoil. This added retention gives extra assurance for military, law enforcement, and serious hunting applications where gear security is non-negotiable.
Laser-Engraved Scale for Consistent Positioning
High-visibility millimeter markings along the clamp face support precise, repeatable plate placement. This makes it easy to return to known positions for long-range, glassing, or night setups where consistent balance and eye relief are critical.
Dual High-Visibility Bubble Levels
Dual luminescent bubble levels on the front and back of the clamp help right- and left-handed shooters confirm level quickly, even in low light. Minimizing rifle cant improves downrange accuracy and speeds up setup in time-sensitive scenarios.
Elevate your support system with American-made mastery
Add the Really Right Stuff Anvil-30 ARC ball head to your kit and experience rapid precision, rock-solid stability, and seamless rail compatibility before your next adventure.

Anvil 30Arc ballhead
This is exactly what I wanted with the arca/ picatinny rail combo. Can use tripod for glassing and shooting. But still use bipod also. Holds rifles w/ pic perfect. Go with the best and to heck with the rest.

Outstanding ball head
Super ball head for PRS shooting. Great idea to offer the Anvil-30 by itself as the TFCT tripod Anvil combination is difficult to find. I mounted this on an existing carbon fiber tripod and headed to the range. RRS SOAR has hit it out of the park with the redesign of the Anvil-30 and the new plate.
