![]() ![]() Now I've really seen it all!Īnyhow, I sort of have an anvil now! Should be handy, and good for some fun times - making tools for the foundry, venting my frustrations, etc. It wasn't even near anyone's yard or farm as far as I could tell, this was apparently some sort of a feral ditch peafowl. How weird is that?! I'd expect just about any other animal before that (dodged or braked for several on the way home, in fact). I almost ran over a peacock on the back roads getting there. Who knows, maybe one day I will meet Paul and we can reunite the ends of our anvils, just like halves of a broken heart shaped locket in a cheesy romance movie, except with far fewer hugs and kisses and crying, and way more smashing stuff with hammers. ![]() This is actually the other half of the same piece of rail that he gave YouTuber Paul from Paul's Garage a while back (I met him in the metal working section of Paul's chat server on Discord, where I sometimes go to shoot the BS with like minded pyros and internet weirdos when work is slow and there's no new posts here or on AA). He drives a truck for a living and was on his way to Texas from New Brunswick yesterday, and the timing worked out just right to meet up and chat for an hour or so in the parking lot. It's about 50# or so, I guessĭid the 50 minute trek to a truck stop in Cornwall (Ontario) to meet a guy who just bought himself a real anvil and was willing to part with this, his old one. ![]() Rubber Ball Feet: Large diameter teardrop shape keeps leg sidewalls from touching the ground even at the lowest settings and makes positive contact with the ground at virtually any angle.Heres the new "anvil".This also means the tripod is more compact when collapsed. Our patented offset leg joints fully support the leg angle stops allowing loads to be transferred straight through the strongest members of the tripod. It is crucial that the leg angle stops and all other structural joints are well supported. Offset Leg Joints: Tripods must occasionally withstand tremendous bending and torsion loads.Patent-pending Taper Lock System secures the ball head inside the apex making it unable to slip.Threaded sockets on the sides of the apex provide better placement for accessories like QD attachments or a BC-18.Vented clevis design allow legs to collapse faster without pressure buildup.O-rings help keep threads clean and smooth while providing better tactile feedback.Adjustable clamp jaw allows compatibility with many other arca-type rails that are not in spec with the RRS 1.5" Dovetail Standard.In addition to supplementing the traditional friction-based clamping mechanism, the interface prevents unintentional repositioning of the rail within the clamp when the R-LOCK is engaged. The ”hard-stop” feature is comprised of a 5mm diameter steel pin that engages 5.5mm diameter holes in the rail. The advantage of the System is the user has multiple “hard-stop” positions along the rail while retaining smooth edges and corners for maximum ergonomics and a snag-free interface that is inherently resistant to wearing down. R-Lock R-LOCK (short for Rapid-Lock) System adds unique safety-stop features which are built in to both a mounting rail and quick-release clamp that adhere to the RRS 1.5” Standard.This tripod will always perform, always hold sure, and always be Really Right. In designing the Really Right Stuff series of tripods, our goal was to create an intuitive, almost second nature usability, allowing you to focus on your passion, not your gear. We value each of these with equal importance. No other tripod in the world offers this versatility. Our unique accessories further expand the utility of these tripods. An RRS TFCT tripod is a great solution for shooters who need maximum support but want to keep their tripod as portable as possible. The TFCT/SOAR® offers the benefits of both a compact traveler and a solid support-style tripod, all in one. The user also has the option to disengage the pin at their discretion for rapid re-positioning. The pin is spring-loaded to automatically engage the R-LOCK holes or be pushed down by non-R-LOCK rails, making it compatible with a wider range of “arca-type” rails. The R-LOCK feature in the clamp is a 5mm pin that mates with corresponding R-LOCK holes in the rail. ![]()
