Not was I was hoping for.
By mem4kVerified Reviewer from Henniker. NH on 7/14/2008
Pros:
Price, Strong Construction
Cons:
Limited vertical angle, Not useful binoculars
Best Uses:
Straight line of sight
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This is certainly not a tripod for use binoculars. It is sturdy enough just not high enough and very limited vertical angle adjustment.

 
Good toy for begginers
By HamadVerified Purchaser from Kuwait on 7/11/2008
Cons:
Bulky, Poor Fit, Weak Hinges
Best Uses:
Astronomy
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Bulky, Heavy, I could not track the moon at 50 degrees vertically. I think they need to tighten the bolts. The only thing that I liked is the rotation horiznotaly, I might use it for panoramatic photo.

I have attached my Canon 40D to C90 Spotting Scopes using :
1- Celestron T-adapter for NexStar 4
2- Adorama T-Mount for Canon EOS .

and this is the result

Very good for the price
By eddie273273Verified Purchaser from The UP of Michigan on 2/27/2008
Pros:
Stable, Strong Construction
Best Uses:
Astronomy, Bird Watching
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The primary use for this tripod will be with the C-90 Celestron spotting scope . It will be used for target spotting and bird watching . The tripod provides a very stable platform for the C90 and is easy to set up . As for cons it could be a bit taller and the leg adjustment would be easier if they were a clamp style rather than set screw . It's well worth the money[...]
