Take your setup to the next level with the Explore Scientific Twilight Heavy Duty Tripod—engineered for serious observers and astrophotographers who demand rock-solid stability. With 2-inch stainless steel legs, a rigid die-cast spreader tray, and support for heavier mounts and optical tubes, this tripod is built to suppress vibration and deliver steady performance under load.
Perfectly matched for the Twilight I and iEXOS-100 mount systems, this tripod creates a professional-grade foundation whether you're viewing, imaging, or upgrading from a lighter-duty rig. The wide stance ensures maximum balance, and the included spreader tray doubles as an accessory holder for eyepieces and tools. Available in black or white finishes to suit your setup.
🔧 Note: Requires Azimuth Adjuster Adapter (sold separately) for use with the iEXOS-100 mount.
