Dear all,

Unless I missed it, I didn't see on LL any news/threads on this new RRS heavy duty tripod.

http://reallyrightstuff.com/rrs/Itemdesc.a...amp;eq=&Tp=

Has anyone tried it yet?

I have been extremely happy with my Gitzo GT5531s that belong to the same category and do not intend to replace it in the short term, but it would be interesting to know if the Versa is up to the ambitious claims of its designers. smile.gif

Cheers,
Bernard

Thanks for the info. I would also be interested in a real world review…

Bernard, I saw this as well in an email from RRS - it looks like a really well thought out design and owning a fair bit of RRS I am sure it is really well engineered and constructed.

Likewise I am very happy with my Gitzo Carbon and RRS RH-55 Ballhead - but I would look at this new RRS tripod if and when I need to replace my Gitzo.

Anyone tried or seen one in the field yet?

Looks and functions no differently than a carbon fiber Gitzo. They have a broader weave to the carbon fiber fabric which is less appealing to my eye.

+1, I am likewise very happy with this combination.

It looks like RRS will introduce a lightweight set of legs as well (TVC-23). This might be interesting for travel or hiking.

I have heard a couple of different ship dates, ranging from the next 4 weeks to the end of the year.
