RRS is a well-known gimbal and tripod brand in the United States, the full name is Really Right Stuff, which literally translates to "really suitable items", but Chinese netizens like to call it "Riri Shuang", its gimbal products are unparalleled in the market, in the field of tripods, RRS can be regarded as a rising star relative to Home Credit, the number of products is far less than the latter, and there is a large gap in popularity, but in terms of technology, materials and actual experience, RRS is not inferior to any brand at all.
 
The high-end tripods are all made of carbon fiber, among which RRS and Home Credit are the most accomplished and are known for their light weight, and RRS and Home Credit are also the two high-end brands that are often compared. The RRS tripod is priced at more than 7,000 yuan, which is one or two thousand yuan more expensive than Home Credit products of the same level. If the two brands of the same level of products between the trick, the RRS load-bearing capacity is significantly higher than that of the same level of Home Credit products, in the official marked product parameters, it can be observed that in the same self-weight and the same structure of the product, the RRS tripod load-bearing capacity is 10% higher than that of Home Credit. On the tripod that is crucial for stability, both are integrally formed, but the Gitzo uses a die-casting process, while the RRS uses a more time-consuming CNC process, which is stronger, and the TVC-43 with a weight of 2800g can bear 45 kilograms, and the Gitzo GT5543LS has a load capacity of 40 kilograms, which is almost the same in structure, weight and height, and there are many similar comparisons. But in terms of appearance, the surface treatment of Gitzo is more detailed, the appearance and feel are better, and the appearance of RRS is relatively simple.
 
Compared with most other brands, RRS tripod models are not many, and the style is relatively single, the mainstream models are not equipped with a bottom bracket, only three legs, similar to the appearance of Home Credit Systematic series, so in terms of height, RRS is inferior to products with a bottom bracket, which is mainly to improve stability.
 
The RRS tripod product model is very concise, consisting of a three-letter prefix and a two-digit letter suffix, such as TQC-14, TFC-14, TVC-34L, etc. The three-letter prefixes are TVC, TQC, TFC, of which TQC has a central axis, which has an advantage in height and is more in line with most people's usage habits; The TVC series is the mainstream series of RRS, without a bottom bracket, but the bottom bracket can be installed after the top plate is removed; The TFC series is a one-piece fixed top plate, which is lighter and stronger, but not removable.
 
The bearing weight is the main basis for the division of the RRS product series, which is reflected in the first number, which is divided into 1-4 series according to the weight bearing capacity of the tripod, with a bearing capacity of 11 kg, 18 kg, 23 kg and 45 kg, which can be intuitively reflected from the thickness of the pipe diameter, such as TQC-14 can bear 11 kg. The maximum pipe diameter is 28.7mm, which belongs to the 1 series, which corresponds to the Voyager 1 series of Gitzo, and the TVC-33 can bear 23 kg, and the maximum pipe diameter is 37mm, which belongs to the 3 series, which is roughly equivalent to the 3 series of Gitzo systematic. The second number of the model represents the number of tripod sections, for example, TVC-23 and TVC-24 have the same load, and the height difference is not large, but the leg tube is three sections and one is four, and the storage length of the four-section version is 47cm, which is much more portable than the 59cm length of the three-section version, but the stability will be slightly reduced.
