24l or 34l? The 24l folds down to 23”

Thanks. I ended up ordering the TVC-34L. There’s a conversion kit that turns it into TFC.

is the sharpness acceptable at f1.4? I never really tested this copy. it's reasonably sharp to me at f1.4. definitely sharpens up when stopped down. the original post was just for fun :-) ...

such a versatile focal length

Thanks! Why did you go with 33 instead of 34L? I am seriously considering getting the 34L also, just for long exposure.

thanks. much to learn here.

Yeah. At f22, MF was hard. The reason for shooting at f8 for these photos was the lack of foreground? Right?

The central column tested tqc vs TFC and TVC vs TFC. For 14, fixed was better. For 3 series, Versa was better. I don’t know details of his testing though. If there’s no space between legs on the ...

Isn’t the fixed apex wider on the 3 series? i thought about TFC instead of TVC. But they sell a TVC to TFC conversion kit now. So I went with the TVC. They said they might offer the TFC to TVC ...

Thanks, I didn't even notice them. Will see if I can find them and blow them off the sensor.

What are the artistic dots on my pictures? It was raining a bit. Are those rain drops on the lens? They don't show up all the time, but only when there are strong highlights in the scene. Are they ...

There's a place for each, I guess. I cannot see myself travel with the 34L and BH-55. Maybe later when kids are older and I get to travel just for photography. Might still get a 3 series tripod ...

What head do you use on it? the 34l is a pound heavier than the 24l. And I feel that one will need to step up to the bh-55 to match it? the weight difference between 24l + bh-40 and 34l + bh-55 ...

34l is a lot bigger though. I fear that it will rarely leave the house. Who knows. Might have to get it later.

I actually just ordered the 24L ... funny, isn't it? I lost sleep on this, and decided that I don't want to carry that extra weight. RRS also recommended the 24L based on my gear. I hope they are ...

Hello After much of soul searching, I narrowed down to these two tripods. I already have a travel tripod and want another tripod that is sturdier and taller than what I have. Do you have experience ...

*_* !!! I am getting the longest RRS based on your comment.

Would you consider the TFC-24L? I doubt I'd ever need a central column on the 24L. The leveling base can be replaced with a panning clamp if needed. I don't think I'd shoot video on a tripod either. ...
