With its 2-inch stainless steel legs, wide stance, and die-cast aluminum spreader tray, this tripod is designed to minimize vibration and flex—allowing for sharper views and steadier exposures, even with heavier optical tubes or astrophotography gear.
Whether you’re setting up at a star party, your backyard observatory, or a remote dark site, this tripod ensures a rock-solid foundation that enhances the performance of your mount. The spreader tray doubles as an accessory holder, keeping your eyepieces and tools organized and within reach.
Finished in a sleek white powder coat, this tripod blends clean aesthetics with weather-resistant durability. If you're using an iEXOS-100 mount, simply add the Azimuth Adjuster Adapter (sold separately) for seamless integration.
