Celestron Tripod Heavy Duty Alt-Azimuth
The Celestron Heavy-Duty Alt-Azimuth Tripod provides a stable, hands-free viewing platform for giant binoculars, spotting scopes, and small to medium-sized telescopes, including the Celestron C90 and C5.
Adjustable Aluminum Legs
The durable aluminum legs adjust to suit your preferred viewing height, ranging from 32 to 45 inches. A center brace keeps the legs stable when the tripod is open, while the built-in metal accessory tray provides convenient storage for small equipment and accessories.
Smooth and Precise Movement
The metal alt-azimuth mount offers easy control in both vertical and horizontal directions. For large vertical adjustments, simply move the mount by hand; a friction clutch helps hold it in position. The mount rotates 360 degrees horizontally when the azimuth lock is disengaged. For finer adjustments, the slow-motion control handles help you track moving objects smoothly, making the tripod especially useful for following celestial objects across the night sky.
Adjustable Mounting Plate
The tripod features a 1/4"-20 mounting bolt that fits compatible telescopes, spotting scopes, binocular adapters, and cameras. The bolt slides along a slot in the mounting plate, allowing you to adjust your equipment's forward and backward position for better balance and stability. With its adjustable height, sturdy construction, and precise movement controls, the Celestron Heavy-Duty Alt-Azimuth Tripod is a practical choice for terrestrial viewing and astronomy.
