RRS TFCX-14 & 14L Carbon Fiber Tripods
Lightweight Height. Built Your Way.
If you’re hunting or hiking deep into the backcountry, you know that every ounce feels like a pound after the fifth mile. But you also know that you want a solid heavy duty tripod when the wind picks up. The RRS TFCX-14 series is the answer.
We brought these in because they hit that "sweet spot"—slim 1-series legs that won't snag on brush, paired with a rock-solid 4-section design. Whether you’re glassing a ridge or setting up a long-exposure shot, these are built to handle the grit and mud of the real world.
Why These Legs Rule
-
US-Made Carbon Fiber: This isn't the cheap stuff. It’s premium, American-manufactured carbon fiber that’s stiff, durable, and kills vibration.
-
The Custom Apex: The top is a beast. With a removable 3/8"-16 mounting stud, you can swap between ball heads, pan heads, or leveling bases quickly.
-
Built for the Grind: These aren't "studio" tripods. They’re designed to be beat up in the woods and keep on performing.
-
Two Sizes for Any Hunter: Whether you want the shortest pack-length possible or need the extra height for glassing while standing, we've got you covered.
TFCX-14 vs. TFCX-14L: Which one do you need?
Both models are made right here in the USA, but here is how the tale of the tape looks:
| Feature | TFCX-14 (Standard) | TFCX-14L (Long) |
| Max Height | 48.38in | 57.23in |
| Min Height | 3.30in | 3.60in |
| Folded Length | 17.25in | 19.62in |
| Weight | 36.50oz (approx. 2.3 lbs) | 39.89oz (approx. 2.5 lbs) |
The Bottom Line
Look, there are plenty of cheaper tripods out there if you just want something to hold a camera in the backyard. But if you want a piece of gear that’s going to last a decade and won't fail you when you're miles from the truck, this is the investment to make. Buy it once, cry once, and never worry about your tripod again.
