This tripod is definitely worth it—especially if you’re dealing with a heavy payload. It’s remarkably sturdy, yet lightweight and easy to set up, making it great for travel. The size is practical, and adjusting the height is easy. A quick note: some reviews mention that the accessory tray (or “table”) is incorrectly designed, claiming the tabs are misaligned by 30°. That’s actually intentional. You’re supposed to twist the tray 45° to lock it into place. This design increases overall stability. Read more
This tripod is great for use with a Seestar or Dwarf telescope to use EQ orientation. I have bought 2 of these because I have multiple scopes. This is very sturdy and I have no fear of my scopes falling over. It has an accessory shelf that locks the tripod legs open. This tripod is very light in weight and portable yet solid and strong. I'd recommend also getting the EQ head unit for this and also Uxcell 2pcs Adjustable Clamping Lever Handle M8 x 32mm Metric Black Oxide Carbon Steel Male Threaded Stud Hand Knobs if you are going to get the head unit and use it with a Seestar. I would not hesitate to buy this again, after all, I've bought 2 already! Read more
This tripod works perfectly with my Seestar S50 scope. It is very study and stable, while also being incredibly light weight. It's easy to "open and close," and is now a regular part of my night time viewing. Read more
Excellent tripod well worth the price lightweight yet sturdy Read more
Nice and rigid, never had to worry about it falling over, even in slightly higher wind weather. Quick to set up and take down. One thing thats important to note: the bubble level on my mount never lines up with the level on the mount, whether this is because one of them is mounted wrong or if the mount surface isnt truely flat, I can't say. Even so its only off by 1-2 degrees from level, so it won't truly harm any imaging. Read more
Perfect item for what I need. I mounted my Orion Tabletop 100mm telescope on it for easier use. Very stable, I love being able to adjust the height. Cheaper models are too unstable for the weight of the scope. Tray is helpful to place lens covers Read more
Excellent tripod, easy to setup, lightweight and very rigid. Another quality SkyWatcher product !! Btw before giving uninformed negative reviews and posting nonsense about misaligned tabs, how about thinking just a bit harder and trying to position and rotate the nicely designed plastic tray properly ?? :-) Read more
Great tripod for Seestar S30 and S50. Read more
