No, China took advantage of what a few politicians granted them. It wasn't American greed, it was politicians greed. They were paid off by China and still are, and allow China to then steal from us.I cannot afford an RRS and never could. Does that mean I’m too poor to shoot and be part of this community?
Our unions, the government and everyday people created the opportunity for Chinese goods to infiltrate and essentially replace our manufacturing base. The greed of so many Americans did it.
Anytime an item is priced on the high end of a market, there will be competition and there will be those that will infringe on patents and intellectual property in order to make their bundle. It just so happens that the Chinese took advantage of a market that we created for them.
Do I support them? Hell no, because they are bent on destroying our way of life. Would someone else do the same? You bet your ass.
Nobody cares what color you are, we care about what you identify as…. Who cares where your parents/grandparents were born, how do you identify yourself? F@ck off with the descriptor and just be American. All of us white anglos came from other countries too, you’re not unique.Well, fuck your narrative or opinion, I'm packing my shit and I'm out to shoot happily. I love my country where we have all gathered, Chinese, Barizilians, Cubans, Russians Koreans South Africans, and my peeps from Mexico and Spain! That's the point you all can't take, because you're all set in your ways and THE CAUCASIAN ANGLO WHITE, WHATEVER THE FUCK THINKS THEY'RE SUPERIOR TO THE REST OF US.
I'm sure that Mattel would argue with you on that one, along with so many other manufacturers since the beginning of the industrial era. You think China copied Ken and Barbie doll from the original creator amd seeing as how Biden wasn't anywhere near that debacle. I don't think that was politically motivated.No, China took advantage of what a few politicians granted them. It wasn't American greed, it was politicians greed. They were paid off by China and still are, and allow China to then steal from us.
And, oh, you added something along the lines of:Also, your argument boils down to:
It’s ok to buy products from a known patent infringer because I deserve it (and I am cheap).
Such a tell that you are from Leofoto. Took me 15 secs to find this.Leofoto may have copied, however, I see that they also have designs that RRS does not. I've searched to see who they may have copied, with zero success.
Mr Long range, welcome.Nobody cares what color you are, we care about what you identify as…. Who cares where your parents/grandparents were born, how do you identify yourself? F@ck off with the descriptor and just be American. All of us white anglos came from other countries too, you’re not unique.
Tons of guys work in the trades and make good money, if you’re not making enough you need to figure out why…
Those of us that believe our time is valuable also identify others time is valuable. Quality product does bring a premium, because it’s worth it. Whether you are willing to pay for it or not is up to you.
You revived a necro thread to shit talk a quality manufacturer in the industry and are somehow surprised that you caught blowback. If your feelers are hurt you need thicker skin, and if not, NOBODY CARES!
Welcome to the hide
Mr Google, your so smart cognitive reflex kicking in making you so high in IQ!Again, you Chinese thing:
And, oh, you added something along the lines of:
You stupid American love pay money to Man! Dumb American, dumb!

Fascinating that the MA-30 isn’t on leofotousa.com. Hmmmm, I wonder why that is? And interesting they used the “30” at end of the product name. I wonder who they copied that from too?

New Leofoto Anvil Copy
Figured you guys would want to see this. Recently got a Leofoto SA-324CL tripod with the MA-30 ballhead. A 15% off code makes it $424 with tax and shipping included from the Leofoto website. This is a direct reproduction of an Anvil-30/TFCT. I used an Anvil extensively the day before I used...www.snipershide.com

Keep reaching for the stars, you'll get there one day. Just don't inject the clorox, he was just kidding about that one.
Carbon based, did your parents touch you inappropriately as a child? Was your mother affectionate towards you in your childhood? What about your aunts or uncles? What do you remember the most as a girl?
Interesting Sparks isn’t refuting my screenshots of Leofoto ripping off RRS.Carbon based, did your parents touch you inappropriately as a child? Was your mother affectionate towards you in your childhood? What about your aunts or uncles? What do you remember the most as a girl?
Lady, I never once stated that they aren't a copy, I'm not sure what your point is here!Interesting Sparks isn’t refuting my screenshots of Leofoto ripping off RRS.
Oh yeah,

Could it be a copy of an RRS Vyce? Nooooo…
However, not sure if this GS-2 actually infringes on an RRS patent.
Also not on leofotousa.com, but it’s on leofoto.com. Again, fascinating!

I rest my case.Lady, I never once stated that they aren't a copy, I'm not sure what your point is here!
That's someone elses fight, I'm fully aware that it is, I been aware. You lost me princess! Look at the MH-60 who else makes that? Leofoto also has their own R&D and yes they admit to copy. But they also have their own so what!?
What?, that your head is full of carbon? Your missing my point which you proceeded to intrude on. And name calling, my case is still the same, nothings changed girl. My case is that RRS should bring their prices down a little because a company that has their own R&D can replicate their product, their nothing special other than they are solid, but so is Leo, IDGF what the rest of you think. I'm sure someone else would have came up with something similar, look at Fatboy and Vortex. It's not as special as to put a $1,700.00 price .I rest my case.
Sounds like you have a cock in your mouth.How eristic of you.
I'm sure RRS is worried about what you thinkIDGF what the rest of you think.
How disturbing, you would know what that sounds like. Are you enjoying the flavor ?Sounds like you have a cock in your mouth.
Right, because a manufacturer isn't worried what the consumer thinks! I'm not the only one who feels this way, ButtPirate!I'm sure RRS is worried about what you think
Are U high? Obviously I have read the whole drawn out drama fest that you have ongoing... That is why I responded with a non confrontational, non emotional response to your Xenophobic tirade.Mr Long range, welcome.
You need to look back and see who the fuck was doing the crying, because it sure in the hell wasn't me. I'm the one throwing blows back buddy!!! Now before you start your shit talking, take the time to read and see what the fuck is really going on here.
Idgf what you approve of or not. And it it is up to me weather I want to or not, you don't have to get on here like your mr billy bad ass! I belive everyone on here could have kept scrolling, I started with a non offensive reply to the thread.
If you can afford one, you can save longer and afford the other.I cannot afford an RRS and never could. Does that mean I’m too poor to shoot and be part of this community?

Anybody else feel like we’re all in Apocalypse Now with Captain Willard at the Do Lung Bridge?
And Sparks is out there by the wire, screaming at us, “I kill you G.I.! Fuck u G.I.!”
Where’s Roach with a M79 when we need him?
Nobody gives a fuck how many bow kills you have or how much pipe you can lay. If you had read back to the beginning you'd know that I was simply making a statement . Looks like some of you are the ones getting feelings hurt. Non confrontational? I think you need to check yourself Rambo. The ones getting their feelers hurt are telling me to not get my feelings hurt! Lmao right !! So I'll be a good little boy and obey the masters. Eat a dick assholes!Are U high?

Take a step back, take a breath and remember this is just the internet. At this point what are you arguing? It sure has nothing to do with the quality of RRS tripods or the theft of their IP by the communists.
And lastly, how do you know I'm not Mr Billy Badass? I have over 200 bow kills, benchpress over 270 lbs, and lay more pipe than you can count!i
I'd becareful commenting on here. Not allowed to have an opinion unless you bow down to the rulers of this forum because if you dont have over 200 bow kills or if you cant afford one, you may not be entitled to your own opinion. Otherwise watch out for the 3 amigos jerking eachother off.If you can afford one, you can save longer and afford the other.
