A question I am pondering to.
Does the carbon fibre truss design have advantages over a solid tube CF?
My thoughts so far...
The CF truss (RC 10A) has two alloy dovetails on it so any CF advantages are ? really advantageous when these are taken into consideration, plus any kit on the top I suppose. (Re expansion/ contraction)
The baffling of the open design allows for stray light ingress so unless you are at a dark site then maybe a cover needed (? shade cloth or black felt - which leads me to?)
Dust covers? Any condensation or dust would be more of an issue with the truss, collecting dust on mirrors and dew would be painful so need a plan.
But/ the temperature equalisation would be quicker, and if you are not burdened by stray light and have a clear area to observe in (no sand or flying dust etc) then truss would be good, also looks damn sexy.
The rigidity is supposed to be the same, though online I have heard of anecdotes of other truss designs moving at certain positions (dependant on the load ?)
On here the info I gathered is that CF is stable vz focus compared to the ali tube, so I assume truss CF would be the same.
There is 0.2kgs difference I think between the RC10 and the RC10A truss, so not really significant.
I have been thinking about this for weeks and still haven't made up my mind!
