Description

Get our best new M002C mount head with heavy duty column and a heavy duty, stainless steel tripod. This is the newest, ultra-smooth grab-and-go set-up for our 70 mm - 130 mm refractors.

The heavy duty stainless steel tripod has an underside brace that holds eyepieces. The tripod by itself weighs 20 pounds, but has a large capacity. The attachment bolt is M12 x 1.75. Both the column and the mount head are precision-made in the USA. The head now includes precision-ground stainless shafts, stainless steel roller bearings, and a big 3" Teflon bearing on each axis. 

With the M002C mount head (with dual Vixen and Losmandy style shoe) and the MEC012 column attached, the telescope will sit 42" - 64" high when positioned horizontally, depending on how far the tripods legs are extended. The complete mounting set-up will hold a 25-pound telescope. 

The total weight for the tripod, column, and mount head together is 25 pounds.

Mia ★★★★★

Setting up my 70mm refractor on this mount is incredibly fast now—the ultra-smooth head glides exactly where I want it without any sticking. The heavy duty column feels like it could handle a much bigger scope, which gives me confidence for the long haul.

Grace ★★★★★

The stainless steel legs feel rock solid, and the ultra-smooth mount head makes tracking my 130mm refractor a breeze. Setup was surprisingly fast for such a heavy-duty tripod, and everything locks tight without any wobble.

Amelia L. ★★★★★

Setting up my 70mm refractor used to be a chore, but this tripod's grab-and-go design makes it a one-minute job. The stainless steel legs feel rock solid even when I extend the heavy-duty column fully.
