Yep... well kinda. The legs are the same. The apex has changed drastically. Smaller, lighter, stronger basically explains it all. The two new types of specs we diagnose can accept both 2 and 3 series legs. No dead wasted space.
What's the leg length difference.. 33 vs 34?@super_poot there might be options down the road. We just put those two up initially since they are the most popular. The Anvil-30 was made to be smaller lighter, more compact and going with the compactness the 34 is easier as well as the 24 to get into hunting packs and fit in approved carry on bags. The 33 not so much. If you have a 33 already you can pre order the Anvil-30 with the conversion apex or a 3 series adapter and you have your favorite legs. Again there will probably be more options once I see the overall popularity. Also if you compare side by side I was able to drop the price of the tripod and have the ballhead come in cheaper then the other most popular one, So this typically higher dollar setup is able to save 179.00 to shooters. I think that is pretty cool! Our first custom built head and pod for shooters and it's less.
@Frankly if it doesn't work let me know and ill send you a free return authorization so no money out of your pocket!
Ah, 6’4”. Long does make since then I guess.Thanks for the info, I was looking at the "L" as I'm just shy of 6'4" the pod will also be used for glassing and shooting while hunting as well as target. I may be getting hung up to much on the 1lb difference between the two.
Which model of tripod would you recommend to use with the new Anvil for those of us that are height challenged individuals? I am 5’6” and have wanted an RRS for a while. Now that the Anvil is out, I am not sure which tripod is right for meMy favorite do it all Tripod is the 24L. Not nearly as tall as the 34L, almost packs as small at the 34, but lighter and it can go for glassing while standing for a 6.4-6.6 height person without having to bend much. With the new Anvil conversion apex it made the 2 series even more sturdy as well so that’s a plus.
@usmc45 The new 2 series vs 3 series act similarly under recoil now. The apex got much smaller from the previous 2 and 3 series tripods. So now both of the tripods use the same small apex which can have no flew in it, so the entire system will be more rigid. The only difference you will see no is the flex in the legs between each series.
@mrtoyz Like I was telling usmc45, the tripod is now more stable because it is more rigid than before. So it will have an increased feel than the original.
@Nik H The 34 would be great for you but so would the 24L. Think of it this way, you need a tripod to be able to reach your throat on level ground for spotting, if that is one of your needs. With the addition of a ballhead and your specific gear it will be comfy enough for your size..... Now put a ditch infront of you, or you are standing on uneven rocks. The extra length is just nice to have and not need. If you know you are willing to risk not having the extra length I would go with the 34 version, for an extra $40 you get stronger tripod legs and joints.
Some people that shoot with a tripod too tall, or with free recoil may find this new version to be less stable since the apex comes to a point sooner than our previous versions.
When I shoot I actually knock out the support side leg to the next angle lock and can put all my weight on that first joint when I need my rifle, reticle, and tripod not to move when focusing on game. This puts more human error into the system because of muscle tension, but when I have to be able to see my shot and immediately follow it up with a potential emergency shot, this is a awesome position you use. I don't use that position when I am shooting groups, or precision dinky targets, but when the size of my game is large enough to stay in the kill zone with any inherent wobble I use my technique of not allowing anything to move under recoil. Another reason why I trust these pods, last time I did this method on another manufacturers pods, my 230lbs frame went right through the leg joint when at max height.
