Its compact size and light weight makes it ideal for spur of the moment backyard observing or for traveling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tele-Pod consists of a 2-section black anodized aluminum tripod with a manually-adjusted rising center post and a separate yoke \u0026amp; cradle type mount head. The top section of the tripod legs are foam covered for increased vibration damping and more comfortable carrying in cold weather. Each tripod leg has a rubber-tipped foot for use on wooden decks and other hard surfaces. The rubber foot retracts to reveal a metal ground spike for a more firm footing on grass or dirt. The tripod's adjustable height reversible center column has a 1\/4\"-20 stud on one end and a removable 3\/8\"-16 stud on the other, allowing use with standard photo tripod pan heads, as well as with the Tele-Pod mount head. By varying the length of the telescoping two-section legs and the height of the rising center post, the telescope height can be set anywhere from 28\" to 62\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeleVue scopes attach to the Tele-Pod head by means of two supplied studs that thread into the base of the telescope mounting ring. These studs project down through holes in the Tele-Pod cradle and are held securely in place with supplied wing nuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tele-Pod head is totally manual in operation. You use its supplied camera tripod-type pan handle to move your scope from object to object. There are no slow motion controls, but the panning motion of the mount is so smooth that most observers will not need them. The yoke \u0026amp; cradle type mount head balances your TeleVue scope at its center of gravity, so that the scope will not swing unexpectedly when you let go of the pan handle (which can be set up for either right hand or left hand use). The altitude bearings are brass, while the azimuth bearing is aluminum and Teflon. Both altitude and azimuth motions have tension adjustments to set the friction to accommodate differing scope weights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the Tele-Pod head has two mounting holes in the underside of its built-in azimuth bearing, it can be removed from the tripod and used on any camera tripod legs having either a 1\/4\"-20 or 3\/8\"-16 screw. The Tele-Pod head therefore can also be bought separately (without tripod) if you already have a set of photo tripod legs available. In addition, the Tele-Pod head is pre-drilled so it can be fitted with an optional TeleVue Sky Tour computer-aiming system for easier location of deep sky objects. Because there is no accessory tray available for the Tele-Pod tripod, a useful accessory would be the Eyepiece Caddy Set that attaches to the Tele-Pod head and holds up to five eyepieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tele-Pod can also be used with other brands of small refractors. However, the internal width between the vertical sides of the Tele-Pod yoke measures only 5.25\", so the maximum width of the mounting rings of another brand of telescope must be smaller than this measurement. In addition, the buyer should keep in mind that the fore-and-aft mounting platform dimension of the yoke is limited and would require a user-supplied adapter plate to install dual mounting rings on the single 1\/4\"-20 thread hole available in the Tele-Pod yoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTech Details: \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"product-attribute-specs-table\" class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data\"\u003e7.5 lbs.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data\"\u003e5 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"TeleVue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40221640687689,"sku":"TVTP","price":606.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/7974\/9961\/files\/TPM_3015_TelePod_AdvancedMount_v2.jpg?v=1723750533"},{"product_id":"losmandy-adjustable-height-field-tripod-for-losmandy-gm-8-equatorial-mount","title":"Losmandy Adjustable Height Field Tripod for Losmandy GM-8 Equatorial Mount","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Losmandy LW (Light Weight) adjustable height field tripod is normally supplied as the standard tripod with the Losmandy GM8 German equatorial mount, although it can also be used with the larger Losmandy G-11 and older G9 mounts.

Its compact size and light weight makes it ideal for spur of the moment backyard observing or for traveling.  This Tele-Pod comes with factory installed encoders \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ealong with the cables necessary to work with your Digital Setting Circles or computer (DSC \/ Computer). This equipment greatly enhances your observing fun and capability of your telescope.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tele-Pod consists of a 2-section black anodized aluminum tripod with a manually-adjusted rising center post and a separate yoke \u0026amp; cradle type mount head. The top section of the tripod legs are foam covered for increased vibration damping and more comfortable carrying in cold weather. Each tripod leg has a rubber-tipped foot for use on wooden decks and other hard surfaces. The rubber foot retracts to reveal a metal ground spike for a more firm footing on grass or dirt. The tripod's adjustable height reversible center column has a 1\/4\"-20 stud on one end and a removable 3\/8\"-16 stud on the other, allowing use with standard photo tripod pan heads, as well as with the Tele-Pod mount head. By varying the length of the telescoping two-section legs and the height of the rising center post, the telescope height can be set anywhere from 28\" to 62\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeleVue scopes attach to the Tele-Pod head by means of two supplied studs that thread into the base of the telescope mounting ring. These studs project down through holes in the Tele-Pod cradle and are held securely in place with supplied wing nuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tele-Pod head is totally manual in operation. You use its supplied camera tripod-type pan handle to move your scope from object to object. There are no slow motion controls, but the panning motion of the mount is so smooth that most observers will not need them. The yoke \u0026amp; cradle type mount head balances your TeleVue scope at its center of gravity, so that the scope will not swing unexpectedly when you let go of the pan handle (which can be set up for either right hand or left hand use). The altitude bearings are brass, while the azimuth bearing is aluminum and Teflon. Both altitude and azimuth motions have tension adjustments to set the friction to accommodate differing scope weights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the Tele-Pod head has two mounting holes in the underside of its built-in azimuth bearing, it can be removed from the tripod and used on any camera tripod legs having either a 1\/4\"-20 or 3\/8\"-16 screw. The Tele-Pod head therefore can also be bought separately (without tripod) if you already have a set of photo tripod legs available. In addition, the Tele-Pod head is pre-drilled so it can be fitted with an optional TeleVue Sky Tour computer-aiming system for easier location of deep sky objects. Because there is no accessory tray available for the Tele-Pod tripod, a useful accessory would be the Eyepiece Caddy Set that attaches to the Tele-Pod head and holds up to five eyepieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tele-Pod can also be used with other brands of small refractors. However, the internal width between the vertical sides of the Tele-Pod yoke measures only 5.25\", so the maximum width of the mounting rings of another brand of telescope must be smaller than this measurement. In addition, the buyer should keep in mind that the fore-and-aft mounting platform dimension of the yoke is limited and would require a user-supplied adapter plate to install dual mounting rings on the single 1\/4\"-20 thread hole available in the Tele-Pod yoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTech Details: \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"product-attribute-specs-table\" class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data\"\u003e7.5 lbs.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data\"\u003e5 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"TeleVue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41600164888649,"sku":"TPE-3023","price":944.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/7974\/9961\/files\/TPE_3023_TelePod_with_Encoders_v2.jpg?v=1723750637"},{"product_id":"ioptron-tripod-for-skyhunter-ipano-skyguider-pro-skytracker-smarteq-cube","title":"iOptron Tripod For SkyHunter\/iPANO\/SkyGuider Pro\/SkyTracker\/SmartEQ\/Cube","description":"\u003ch2 data-start=\"263\" data-end=\"380\" class=\"\"\u003eiOptron Stainless Steel Tripod for SkyHunter, SkyGuider Pro, SkyTracker, iPANO, SmartEQ, and Cube Mounts (#3221)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"381\" data-end=\"432\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"385\" data-end=\"432\"\u003eA portable foundation with serious stability.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"434\" data-end=\"857\" class=\"\"\u003eWhen you're taking your tracking mount into the field—whether for astrophotography, time-lapse imaging, or visual observing—\u003cstrong data-start=\"558\" data-end=\"595\"\u003ea solid tripod is non-negotiable.\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003cstrong data-start=\"600\" data-end=\"640\"\u003eiOptron #3221 Stainless Steel Tripod\u003c\/strong\u003e is purpose-built for lightweight GoTo and tracking mounts like the \u003cstrong data-start=\"708\" data-end=\"721\"\u003eSkyHunter\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong data-start=\"723\" data-end=\"740\"\u003eSkyGuider Pro\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong data-start=\"742\" data-end=\"756\"\u003eSkyTracker\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong data-start=\"762\" data-end=\"773\"\u003eSmartEQ\u003c\/strong\u003e series, delivering a compact yet rugged foundation you can count on all night long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"859\" data-end=\"1259\" class=\"\"\u003eConstructed with \u003cstrong data-start=\"876\" data-end=\"906\"\u003e1.25\" stainless steel legs\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong data-start=\"913\" data-end=\"938\"\u003edie-cast aluminum top\u003c\/strong\u003e, this two-section tripod is built to dampen vibrations, handle a wide range of payloads, and pack down small for travel.

The Astro-Tech 100mm Folding Pier is machined from T6061 aluminum alloy, 100mm in diameter, braced folding legs, rated to 220 lb — built to behave like a small observatory wherever you set it up.  \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDespite its rigidity, the entire pier folds for transport and includes a padded carry bag, making it just as comfortable at a dark site as it is in the backyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100mm (3.9″) pier column is machined from T6061 aluminum alloy with stainless-steel hardware throughout. That large-diameter tube handles torsional flex better than a conventional tripod center, and the braced folding legs deploy wide and stay planted. Height adjusts from about 900mm (35.4″) to 1000mm (39.4″) — enough range to keep the mount at a comfortable working position without sacrificing rigidity, and enough clearance for longer tubes and extended imaging trains near the meridian. Despite the structure’s solidity, it folds down compactly; the carry weight is about 8.5 kg (18.7 lb), and a padded transport bag is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce you’ve observed on a solid pier, going back to a lightweight tripod is a real step backward. The pier doesn’t give you anything dramatic — it takes things away: the flex when you grab the focuser, the oscillation when the mount slews, the low-frequency bounce that works through a long imaging train. At high magnification, on fine planetary detail or a tight double star, the absence of movement is what lets you actually see what you came to see. The pier settles quickly after focusing, stays composed when the mount is adjusted, and keeps the image quiet — which is the whole point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated to 220 lb, the pier handles refractors, SCTs, and heavier imaging setups without stress. It’s also the right foundation for giant binoculars in the 70–120mm class when paired with an appropriate mount. Rather than designing your setup around a fixed tripod, the pier becomes the constant — the one part of the system that serves you however the optics evolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetup: deploy the legs, lock them, level the base, attach your mount. The result is a stable observing platform that quickly disappears from your thoughts—which is exactly what good support equipment should do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOne thoughtful feature you don't appreciate until you own the pier is the removable top plate. Three oversized hand knobs let you remove the entire mount plate in seconds without tools. Leave the adapter attached to your mount, lift the whole assembly off the pier for transport, then drop it back into place when you're ready to observe again. It's a small detail that makes setup and teardown noticeably faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat’s in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAstro-Tech folding pier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadded transport bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100mm T6061 aluminum pier column\u003c\/strong\u003e — large-diameter tube resists torsional flex; stainless-steel hardware throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable height: 900–1000mm (35.4–39.4″)\u003c\/strong\u003e — field-practical range for most mount and optical tube combinations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated to 220 lb\u003c\/strong\u003e — structural margin for refractors, SCTs, and imaging setups; no flex under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBraced folding legs\u003c\/strong\u003e — wide deployed stance; compact folded footprint for transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemovable top plate with three hand knobs\u003c\/strong\u003e — Remove or reinstall your mount in seconds without tools.
