Sturdy aluminum tripod for EQ8 and CQ350 mounts

This Sky-Watcher tripod provides a stable platform for EQ8-R/h and CQ350 equatorial mount heads. The aluminum and steel construction supports payloads up to 77 pounds while minimizing vibration during observation. Adjustable height ranges from 30.5 to 42.5 inches for comfortable viewing positions.

Suited for astronomers moving between dark-sky sites

The two-section legs fold to 37 by 11 by 11 inches and weigh 34.5 pounds, making transport manageable for remote sessions. An integrated accessory tray keeps eyepieces organized in the field. Buyers located below 27 degree latitude should note the mount heads are not compatible in those regions.

Handles 34.9 kilogram payloads

The 77 pound capacity accommodates heavy optical tubes and imaging accessories on EQ8 or CQ350 heads. Builders planning significantly larger instruments or permanent observatory piers will need a higher-capacity support system. The folded dimensions fit most vehicle cargo areas for mobile astronomy.
