I can make them.Ok cool. Are you planning on making the first version too so you don’t have to use the rrs plate?
I would want to change it up to simplify and refine it slightly.

Get an anvil30. Versatile. Works for arca and picatinny also.Is there anyone here that has used the TA-2U-SC leveling base with the RT-90c? Really debating forking out the money to get one for shooting, or to just get a decent ball head to use for everything (shooting, spotting, photography, etc...). I have had the tripod legs for awhile now and used the included bowl to spot with binos quite a bit, just now getting around to putting arca rails on a couple rifles...

My only concern with that was how to make sure it didn't come loose from the threaded stud. Loctite is only a temporary option IMO... does the anvil have a set screw or something as well to help secure it to the flat mounting plate? The adapter Midwest is looking at making is intriguing, but I'm kind of wanting something within a week or two if possible. One of the benefits of the TA-2U-SC is that it can also clamp onto a pic rail, and RRS has it in stock right now...
All you're losing to the Anvil 30 is angle. This new leveling head addresses some of that compared to the previous version. It should also be a bit better at panning than the Anvil 30.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 60$ I am doing them one off . And not gonna mass production anything .
A few pics
I have material for 3 currently so I'll finish those before I ccommit to any moreIf you were to make these what would be an estimated timeframe? Your latest version works with the series 3 base correct? I might consider the anvil with that setup.

Just got this tripod in the mail a couple hours ago. Initial impressions are great, this thing is a tank.
Standing dry fire with an anvil-30 on top is easily as stable as any other RRS tripod I've used in the past. I'm using the direct thread anvil, so hopefully some red loctite on the provided base will do the trick. I mounted a pig saddle to the 75mm adapter/leveling base that's included, and it is useable, but the adjustment wheel of the saddle hits the top of the tripod unless you cant the rifle/base while tightening it. Not a huge issue, but an issue nonetheless.
I'll try and get some pictures/video of some positional stuff at the local match this weekend.
Any living room pics?
If you notice a few posts above , there is a solution to mounting the anvil30 if you don’t want to rely on red loctite.Just got this tripod in the mail a couple hours ago. Initial impressions are great, this thing is a tank.

Next week for these after that might be awhile. I've got ammo to test ?

How’s the leg stiffness? I currently run an Anvil 30 on a Manfrotto aluminum tripod and the only real wobble zone is in the legs flexing. I’ve got some time on a 3 series RRS which has basically zero wobble from the legs. I’m assuming this one should be closer to the RRS just due to the stiffness of the CF.

Ah, what the heck, count me in for one... I just ordered one of the innorel ball heads to start with but I want an anvil eventually, might as well get this while I can. I use mine just as much to spot with so a ball head will be easier for that. And I understand completely, waiting on ADG brass to come back in stock myself.

I use the leaving base for everything. On the RT90 .
I have a Desmond 52mm ball head I leave on my slik700. But when at matches the less moving parts the better if s one one jumps on my spotter.
I have 3 that will use the RRS plate I just need to drill and tap .
the other 3 are only finished on the tripod, side so there whichever I need to make . .
Sweet I’ll take one without the rrs plate if possible. Thanks man!I have 3 that will use the RRS plate I just need to drill and tap .

YES: I need the late night machinist to make me a pair of side “plates/rails” to acceapt mLok Weights on AIAT.Pro tip: go to a match and find out who i is a machinist. Then become friends and text them late at night to make stuff for you. Haha
Before I get e-buttfvcked by you guys has anyone tried the Innorel RT90C tripod? It's carbon fiber with 40mm tubes. Max height is about 63" and low about 7" and can support 80+ pounds. They are going for $290 or so imported from China.
Yes I'm all about supporting vendors and keeping money state side but if any vendor can sell me a similarly spec'ed tripod for the same price I'm game. Two Vets sells a similar one (40 Mike Mike) and no offense but $200 difference can buy me a shit load of other stuff. Yes yes.. RRS buy once cry once. I honestly I think I'll be fine with a $300 tripod for now.
Funny I was asked to make some weights for a AI lolYES: I need the late night machinist to make me a pair of side “plates/rails” to acceapt mLok Weights on AIAT.

So on mine I just added a lever clamp to the included leveling base. Any reason you want to the lefhoto vs a 30$- lever plate
not at all. After having all pieces in hand I wish I would have saved the $120 and just purchased a lever “qd” lock plate. I assumed the included leveling base would be plastic or cheap substrate. I had seen the leofoto bases and knew were CNC and nice quality. So ordered at same time as tripod. When everything arrived was very impressed with the Tripod and leveling base. Two days later leofoto base arrived and short of the clamp included- its same material and quality. The base is a little larger height wise but does not seem to add any more stability as they both lock down super solid.
