The Celestron CGX-L arrived in three boxes on two consecutive days. Assembly is quick and easy right out of the box (I highly recommend reading and following the instructions prior to assembling). Construction is rugged and bold! This tripod will hold anything on the market today including cameras, guide scope and additional add on?s! If you are considering astrophotography, this is the mount for any SCT or refractor of 130mm or larger!

Fantastic mount and tripod. Would have given 5 stars but I think Celestron needs to upgrade their tracking firmware downloads to keep up with the current decade. However, once it's up and running it's outstanding.
