Why is RRS Anvil out of stock everywhere?
- Thread starter rtr
- Start date
From what little I know, the company moved their location which slowed manufacturing down. They are also waiting on raw materials which is also slowing down production. All that, while at the same time their popularity and sales in the shooting sports has increased significantly.
Since they started producing them have they ever been ahead of demand? I don't ever recall seeing "in stock".
Just order it direct... You'll prolly receive it quick. I have ordered stuff when it was out of stock only to ship within the next day or 2
I ordered one about 3 weeks ago on back order from RRS. I received it in less then 2 weeks. Id just order it from RRS.
Thanks @Michael Victor. Yes the Anvil-30 ballhead has a pretty big back-order right now. I try and push out a batch every week or so as they come off the machine and we can coat them and assemble them. So a few easy reasons since you asked why:
1. Moving took scheduled manufacturing time away from us. Setting up the machines in new location semi halted by construction issues.
2. Popularity of the Anvil and how many options you can buy it as. Hard to keep one item listing in-stock, let alone 8. Every once in awhile you will see a certain listing or option go in stock, but it usually only lasts that day.
3. We try to make as much as possible ourselves in our machines. We also use mainly custom parts and custom screws. We have A LOT of other parts to manufacture besides just the Anvil-30. A bummer for me, but it is another part of the business.
For a timeline for you folks, all current orders as of today should be fulfilled by End December if not sooner as long as there are no issues.
If you want one sooner than later, put your name down for an order. We don't actually charge till it ships. So if you are able to find one in stock somewhere else before hand, you can cancel the order (most likely won't happen often)

Give Bison Tactical, Mile High, and Altus Shooting (formerly CORE) to see if they have any new shipments or updates on arrivals.
We are shipping about 50 a week right now.

Thanks I found one. It comes with a series 3 adapter plate. Not sure if I will use it or not. I don’t have the specs on the tripod yet.

@MPHReallyRightStuff, any info when the next shipment is going out? I have one on order through Bison, and he only received a partial shipment from you guys a couple weeks ago.
if you ordered through us most anvil by themselves have already shipped earlier in the week with a few still remaining today. If you ordered through Bison, some of his should go out today.
Yep - Anvil-30 heads inbound - Thanks Michael !

You might try B&H Photo or Adorama Camera. They carry a lot of RRS. Also, look at Gitzo tripods and ball heads. Very good units, and slightly less expensive than RRS. Shooters compete with photographers for the limited stock from RRS.
The reason I really like Really Right Stuff is because they are one of the only Tripod companies making shooter specific components and tripods designed by and for shooters. There are a ton of photography companies that would like to sell you their photography stuff, but shooters use the equipment significantly differently, and its nice some companies are realizing that and supporting shooters by making equipment specific to shooters.
It is great tha RRS is making products for the shooting community. But how does that help me when I cannot buy it?

I ordered mine direct yesterday when I couldn't find an Anvil 30 anywhere in stock. Like some of the RRS guys said above you may have to wait a little bit for it. Last time I ordered something that wasn't in stock it shipped like a week later.
