RRS TVC-45: VERSA SERIES always on backordered?

5 years 7 months ago #600585 by Evan Westwood
Why in the world are these tripods always on  backorder?  Any ideas how long it takes to get one of these if you order?  RRS was my original choice, but they never have these in stock.  Which has me looking at the Promedia tripods.

As long as I can remember, RRS is always running short on stock.  Small company that runs their inventory like Lee Filters.  Always on backorder.

LOL dude, it's a RRS.   

But seriously they are always back order.  You might want to look at used for quicker.

Most will say they are worth the wait.  Have you looked at the used market?

LOL I was going to say the same thing.  

"Best" is a moving target and highly dependent on needs, budget and personal taste.  The tripods above are excellent made tripods, however might not be considered the "Best" for everyones needs.
