Questions & Answers

Shopper : I'M LOOKING FOR A STABLE TRIPOD FOR A CELESTRON TRAVELSCOPE 70. wILL THIS ONE WORK? IF NOT WHICH ONE WILL WORK BEST?TONY S : Buy it. Right now. It's the most stable tripod I've ever gotten from Adorama. I use it for 16-lb astronomical/terrestrial binoculars, and have had it for several years without a single issue. Great price.ERIC A : I used this tripod as an initial platform for a celestron 90. It worked well for terrestrial viewing but was too short and had limited elevation for celestial viewing (I am over 6’ tall). I ended up buying a surveying tripod used, and machined my own mount with an extension. You could like find mounts that attach to surveying tripods and do the same thing.
John L : What is the optical tube weight capacity for this tripod. I have a SkyWatcher 150mm Newtonian Reflector optical tube that weighs about 10.5 pounds. Is this tripod big and strong enough to move it around without trouble?ANTONIO M : The tripod can handle very well a Meade triplet of 8-9 pounds, probably it can handle also a 10.5 pounds tube. It is strong enought to stand 20 pounds.ANDREW R : This tripod may be a little on the light side for your use. Celestron indicates that the maximum capacity for this unit is 10 pounds.
Shopper : How high will this tripod reach? And will it fit a 52252 celestron spotting scope? thanksGlen H : This tripod will reach a maximum extension of 41" and should be fully compatible with the Celestron Ultima 100 Spotting Scope #52252.
