Celestron Tabletop Tripod, Origin and NexStar Evolution/SE 93481

Celestron Tabletop Tripod for NexStar SE, NexStar Evolution, and Origin Telescopes (#93481)

Go-anywhere convenience for your GoTo telescope.

Whether you're packing light for a star party, traveling with your NexStar Evolution or SE, or simply want a more compact setup for your backyard or patio table, the Celestron Tabletop Tripod (#93481) gives you the grab-and-go freedom that full-height tripods can’t match. Designed specifically for the NexStar SE series, NexStar Evolution series, and the Celestron Origin Intelligent Home Observatory, this tripod delivers rock-solid support in a travel-ready package.

Compact, Sturdy, and Ready to Travel

Weighing in at just 6.8 lbs, the tabletop tripod is nearly half the weight of Celestron's standard full-size tripods, but still offers impressive stability thanks to its wide footprint and stainless steel 1.5" legs. It sets up in seconds—just unfold the legs, level them using the integrated bubble level, and place it on any sturdy surface like a camp table, picnic bench, or tailgate.

Whether you’re observing solo or setting up for kids, students, or guests, this tripod lowers the eyepiece height and makes telescope access easier and more inclusive—without sacrificing stability or alignment accuracy.

Familiar Mounting with Streamlined Setup

Just like the full-height tripods that come with your NexStar Evolution or SE, the tabletop version includes three captured mounting screws on the underside of the aluminum head. These lock your telescope mount securely in place and ensure a solid connection during tracking and slewing.

Each of the three legs includes adjustable knobs to help you fine-tune levelness. With a 7" operational height, this tripod offers a low-profile stance that’s perfect for shorter observers or compact setups.

And when you're done? Just fold the legs inward and store the tripod in your gear case, car trunk, or closet. The whole unit collapses to just 11" in length and tucks neatly under the head plate.

Compatibility

• NexStar SE Series: 4SE, 5SE, 6SE, 8SE

• NexStar Evolution Series: 6, 8, 9.25, 8HD, Limited Edition 8HD

• Celestron Origin: Intelligent Home Observatory

Note: This tripod is designed specifically for the above mounts and is not compatible with other telescope models.

Observing Tip:

Want maximum stability? Set the tripod on a flat stone patio, driveway, or heavy-duty folding table to reduce vibration. For astrophotography or planetary imaging with the NexStar Evolution, we recommend using vibration suppression pads underneath the tripod feet for even more dampening performance.

Final Thoughts

The Celestron Tabletop Tripod (#93481) is the perfect solution for observers who want more portability, less setup hassle, and a lower eyepiece height. It’s a smart upgrade for anyone using a NexStar SE, Evolution, or Celestron Origin telescope—especially if you're short on space but still demand rock-solid support and alignment reliability. Lightweight, rugged, and quick to deploy, this tripod helps you spend less time setting up and more time enjoying the night sky.
