TFCX-14L Tall Carbon Fiber Crossover Tripod Field Grade

Field Grade tall Series 1 crossover tripod: TFCX-14L reach with cosmetic blemishes at a lower price

TFCX-14L Field Grade

The TFCX-14L Field Grade Tripod offers the same tall Series 1 carbon fiber construction, 4-section crossover design, and real-world stability as our standard TFCX-14L—at a reduced price due to minor cosmetic imperfections that do not affect performance. Field Grade products are built to the same mechanical standards and load ratings as our premium tripods, providing a cost-effective option for users who prioritize function over finish.

Field Grade tripods may show small visual blemishes, finish variation, or other non-structural cosmetic defects while retaining full strength, rigidity, and usability. They are returnable within 30 days and covered by our standard 5-year RRS warranty, giving you professional-grade tripod performance with added value—subject to limited, first-come, first-served availability based on production and inspection runs.

Extended Height for Upright and Seated Use

With a maximum height of 57.23" (145.36 cm), the TFCX-14L offers added elevation compared to the TFCX‑13 and TFCX‑14, giving users more flexibility for upright or elevated setups without stepping into a larger, heavier series. It still lowers to a minimum height of 3.60" (9.14 cm), supporting kneeling, seated, or near‑ground configurations when a lower working position is needed.

Four-Section Legs that Travel Light and Pack Short

The TFCX‑14L uses four leg sections to balance extended reach with packability, folding down to 19.62" (49.84 cm) for transport. Weighing just 39.89 oz (1131 g), it maintains an ultralight profile in your pack or gear setup—offering a truly backcountry‑ready tripod that provides the extra height needed for comfortable use in a wide range of positions.

Series 1 Carbon Fiber Stability, Tuned for Extra Reach

Built on the lightweight series 1 carbon fiber design, the TFCX‑14L maintains the proven crossover stability of the TFCX family while extending usable height. High‑strength tubes and a precision‑machined apex minimize flex and torsional movement under mounted optics or equipment, ensuring a steady view and reliable performance even at the upper end of its height range.

Rapid 4-Section Deployment with True Low-Angle Options

Independent leg angles and low-profile twist locks let the TFCX-14L move from packed to locked-in quickly, even when you are setting up on steep slopes or uneven rock. Its ultra-low minimum height supports prone and near-ground work, while the four leg sections offer fine-grained control over height and stance so you can adapt to brush, terrain, and obstacles instead of compromising your working position.

Crossover Apex for RRS Heads and SOAR-Ready Configurations

The TFCX-14L shares the crossover apex design with the rest of the TFCX line, offering a standard 3/8"-16 stud and access to the RRS taper mount for the Anvil-30 head. This lets you run the same tripod across glassing, photography, and lightweight rifle support roles, with interchangeable feet and compatible accessories that allow you to tune traction and handling for rock, soil, or hard surfaces.

American-Made Carbon Fiber for Long-Term Field Use

Designed, machined, and assembled in the USA, the TFCX-14L uses premium carbon fiber and precision aluminum components to handle repeated use in harsh environments. Weather-resistant leg locks and tight tolerances help keep operation smooth over time, so the tripod remains a dependable part of your journey, wherever it takes you.
