When your career depends on that next shot, you need a tripod that s much more than just three legs to stand on. Meeting and succeeding that need, we have the RC-5558-3 Vantage Series 3 Carbon Fiber Tripod, one of a series of tripods from Robus that delivers performance to satiate the most demanding image-makers, regardless of the conditions or terrain in the field. The 10x carbon fiber legs feature wide, stable leg tube diameters. Even at maximum extension of 58.5" , these substantial cylinders combine with the tripod s anodized CNC-machined spider to support video or still camera rigs weighing up to 55 lb.
Shooting outdoors can definitely be a challenge, especially when doing macro or close up photography on the ground. But with three variable leg angles of 25, 55, and 85° , plus independent leg spread, the tripod can be splayed out to a minimum height of just 4.1" . The tripod s central spider features a lock to loosen the yoke and a safety pull latch that releases the finely machined top plate. This permits interchangeability with the included 75mm video bowl. There s also an optional center column available that extends the RC-5558-3 s maximum height of 73.25" .
A quarter turn of the tripod s twist-locks retracts the 3-section legs to a reasonable folded length of 26.9" . Two of the legs have tactile rubber grips that ensure a secure hold as you carry the support from one place to another. Additionally, a 3/8" -16 socket at the end of each leg allows you to swap out the standard feet for the included spikes or wide rubber feet to accommodate different terrains and surfaces.
With a possible 73" reach, a 55 lb weight capacity, and a folded length of less than 27" , the tripod s notable stability and performance-based features ensure its place as a favorite go-to-support solution for professionals and dedicated enthusiasts.
