The CGEM II tripod comes with an all-metal center legbrace/accessory tray to give rock solid support to the mount. The tripod comes fully assembled with a metal plate, called the tripod head that holds the legs together at the top. In addition, there is a central rod that extends down from the tripod head that attaches the equatorial mount to the tripod.
