The Innorel RT90C has a flat plate top, which is consistent with top range tripods from other manufacturers. This configuration provides excellent stability and the flat plate can be swapped out with the supplied bowl and levelling base (included) or the centre column (optional extra). Innorel RT90C Legs I have recently been searching for a new tripod and just wanted to post my experience having chosen the Innorel RT85C.

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. Below: Top-to-bottom: Pulsar Trail 2 LRF XP50 on a Ruger Precision Rifle. The rest you know. Planet Mars.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 did a lot of searching and reading on the Innorel tripods, there just isn't much written on them. I kind of have formed the opinion that they might be kind of like the Godox of tripods. (Flashes competing with the OEM flashes but at a much better price and considerably more features). Everything I have read points to Manfrotto or Gitzo quality at a MUCH lower price.

Magazine from Oberland. I use 500 and 600mm F4’s and first tried the RT-80c (for travel) as the weight rating appeared to be adequate. However, when it arrived, the legs were not sturdy enough for long glass. There was way too much wobble. For short glass, the 80-C should work. I returned it and replaced it with the RT_90C. The 90-C met all my expectations and the bowl head is great and easy to use. For a low cost heavy duty tripod, the RT-90C is worth it. 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.

I remain extremely happy with this tripod. It has gone through an extremely challenging winter of photography here in Iceland with me and looks almost brand new. I've had to clean it a couple of times after using on the beach and it's easy to do and works perfectly after. 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.

The response from Innorel was fast, professional and they took the time to break down some of the pros of the RT85C vs another model they sell themselves which was more expensive. I liked that honesty. This reminds me of an older thread from June 2019, where the OP Jorginho bought this Innorel 80 tripod. Maybe you can find something helpful in his thread: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/62808125 The feet attached to the Innorel RT90C on delivery are rubber, and 2.5cm spikes are included. The feet are attached by a ⅜” screw and there are many tripod feet of that fitting on the market. Mounting a Head
