📷 RC-5570 Vantage Series 3 Carbon Fiber Tripod by Robus Review

This is a pretty cool tripod, very solid and reliable. I use it with a Manfrotto MVH500AH and the whole setup fits perfectly with the bag that came with it. I would recommend it to everyone.

So far I'm very impressed with the build quality and ease of use, but I've only had this tripod for a week or two and I don't know how good it is. lasts over time. Before purchasing I was a bit worried about twistlocks compared to the fliplocks I'm used to, but the setup and adjustment is better than the fliplocks.

I've been eyeing and dreaming of a much more expensive carbon fiber tripod for a few years. How glad I am that I waited until I found Robus! Same height and features as the RRS I wanted but for about 1/3 the price. I've had it for a few weeks now and I've already sent it through the spin cycle. Sand, salt water, snow and even on an ice covered lake. Robus has mastered all this without any problems. Very happy with my purchase!

Over the years that I have used and owned many professional tripods, I was concerned that I would be spending less than half the power if I used less than half of the money would spend. What a surprise! This product is amazing. Not only are the legs rigid and support every lens in my lineup, they also offer features that are often added by other manufacturers. I've been using the Robus RC-5570 for 30 days now and I think it's one of the best deals out there.

Plan to use with a movable head for landscape/panning work. This tripod comes with both a bowl and a plate/screw mount so I can quickly swap out the liquid head on the bowl for the ball head on the plate. It's taller than many tripods so the camera can be positioned overhead (5-11) or simply use the 2 leg sections for a standard height and more stability. I look forward to using it when some fluid head parts arrive.

I've bought many tripods over the years to work with medium and large format 35mm cameras, but this tripod beats them all, particularly in terms of rigidity, excellent strength-to-weight ratio - and Price! Everything about the tripod appears to have been designed after serious thought and professional input. I particularly like the height, because you never know where to put the camera and tripod when shooting landscapes. Someone might be on a steep slope, or maybe jumping over a stream - and…

My first impression straight out of the box was WOW! The tripod is solid and extends to a height that suits all my needs, just over 70 inches to the top of the platform. The set also includes great accessories. Three sets of legs, a flat plate and a 75mm half shell. 3 Allen keys are also included. I like the fact that there is a pin to hold the top plate or half shell in the tripod if the clamp accidentally disengages. My only (minor) gripe is that the bag could be a bit bigger as I can't close

This is a very good tripod. As experts always advise, just get a really good one like Robus and that's it, instead of working a lot more on the quality and ending up with a bunch of smaller tripods. This one screams quality with its fine craftsmanship, thick 10x legs and sleek twist-lock legs. Well worth the extra cost and a pound heavier than my Manfrotto 055. Attention Robus: Please make the bag 3 inches longer. I can't quite close it with the Manfrotto 500AH head attached.
