Rated 4 out of 5

Well designed tripod.

I use this for solar astronomy. The tripod and unit are nicely designed. Personally I would make two very minor changes. Raise the level of the eyepiece/handcontroller holder and invert the plug in port for the hand controller. As it now placed on the unit it is a little difficult to remove the controller plug.
