The number of leg sections is identical and the size when folded is not significantly different. Neither is there a significant difference in weight between the Gitzo and the Innorel. The lower weight of the 3 Legged Thing being accounted for by the diameter of the legs – again the play-off between weight and stability. Conclusion The rubber feet are screw on types and can be replaced with the included metal spikes. These fit well and work great so far. The minimum height is a measure of how close to the ground the tripod can get. In all three cases this will be with the plate in place, as even the levelling head will force the tripod higher. Height is from the ground to the plate; in real world activity, you need to add the height of the tripod head. The maximum height is without a centre column (only available on the Innorel RT90C which, for completeness, raises the height to 200cm). Weight

JP Rifles PCS-12 in 6.5 Creedmoor in Magpul Dark Earth with B&T Suppressor and cover from Cole-Tac. Sight is a Schmidt & Bender 3-27×56 PMII with an Aimpoint ACRO C1 in a Spuhr mount. Magazine from Oberland. The only significant disadvantage is that I also use a geared head. This works fine with the centre column fitted. On the plate and bowl fittings movement can restricted when the geared head meets the tripod. This is a feature of tripods with this size base rather than a specific Innorel RT90C issue. I have clips and twists and the finger screws on my old Manfrotto 3001 tripods. I DEFINITELY prefer the clips, at least the Manfrotto clips.
Well, I didn't explain my needs very well. I have a Manfrotto 055 carbon fiber tripod which is sturdy enough for all my needs but it is too big and cumbersome to take on a hike, although not necessarily all that heavy. I have other tripods that are even bigger and heavier and sturdier which are great for portrait shoots, events etc. I also have a "Manfrotto - Compact Action Smart 61" Tripod" that is great for carrying around BUT way too flimsy even for my light weight gear! I am looking for something the size and weight of the Manfrotto Compact action but sturdy like the 055. I have been using the Innorel RT90C for a couple of months, and have found it to be excellent. It is remarkably easy to use, nothing is fiddly and at no point does anything feel fragile. You had me very concerned with this post! Until I looked up the size and weight of your equipment (Thank you for taking the time to maintain your equipment list). I looked at and admired the RT_90 but I am not looking for something that big as I already have big sturdy tripods covered.

About the weight rating, hmm, I don't know if 20 kg actually means 20 kg. But even if these 20 kg are closer to 10 or 12 kg, I think it still would be enough for most camera/lens combos plus a ballhead/videohead. Many PRS (Precision Rifle Series) shooters recommended the Innorel RT80C, but since its limit is 20 kg, I went for the bigger brother RT90C with a 40 kg capacity. This way the limit would be on my side, and I wouldn’t have to worry if I loaded it with a really heavy rifle with gadgets. The centre column on the RT85C is removable so you can choose how you want to use it. I had to ask them about this to receive the instructions and they don't seem to advertise it anywhere but I'm glad I went for this version now for sure as I can choose what I want. If you are looking for similar tripod solutions and options, the Anvil-30 Shooting Ball Head from Really Right Stuff and the Innorel RT80C Tripod should be considered. If you have a higher budget, you can look at the TVC-34L SOAR tripod from RRS.Top Tip: to get a sense of how professional a company is on Aliexpress, ask questions before you buy and judge the responses. If I would recommend improvements they would be to replace the hanging hook from the centre column. It's a generic version and whilst it'll do the job, it's the only bit that looks a bit cheap. I'd also like to see Innorel develop a tall tripod without the centre column, similar to the Gitzo top end tripods. They do have one already but it's not as tall. The Innorel tripods are Made in China. I know some people will have issues with that, the decision is yours. The ball head from Really Right Stuff is Made in the USA. I think it’s interesting to combine these two solutions and see where it leads to. High-end meets low-end. As a rough guide I would say avoid things like filters, filter holders and lenses on there. Definitely consider LED lights (Godox), Flashes (Yonguo) and things like the cheap collapsible photography studios.
Great Deal
