Its metal alt-azimuth head offers friction clutch and 360º azimuth rotation with dual slow-motion controls for precise tracking of celestial and terrestrial targets. The sliding 1/4”-20 mounting plate balances large spotting scopes, binoculars, and cameras, supporting up to 11 pounds. Trusted by pros since 1960, it comes with a 2-year US warranty and expert support. ## Description The Celestron Heavy-Duty Alt-Azimuth Tripod is perfect for hands-free viewing with giant binoculars or a spotting scope.The fully adjustable aluminum legs provide a minimum height of 32 inches and a maximum height of 45 inches. A center brace stabilizes the legs when the tripod is open, and a metal accessory tray in the center of the brace keeps your accessories close at hand. The alt-azimuth tripod head is made of metal and offers two control methods. For large altitude adjustments, simply move the mount to the desired position, and the friction clutch will hold it in place. For azimuth adjustments, loosen the azimuth lock to spin the mount up to 360º. Use the slow-motion control handles to make small adjustments for slow-moving targets like celestial objects drifting across the night sky or boats moving through water. Equipment is mounted on the tripod head using a standard 1/4”-20 thread mounting bolt, which slides along a slot in the mounting plate. This allows you to adjust the forward and aft position of your telescope, spotting scope, binocular mount adapter, or camera to maintain balance. This feature is especially useful for refractor telescopes and cameras with long lenses, which can become unstable if positioned too far forward. ## Features - IDEAL SUPPORT FOR YOUR OPTICS: Use your spotting scope, binocular, camera, or small telescope for extended viewing sessions and share the view with others. - STURDY, ADJUSTABLE TRIPOD: Customize your tripod's height with the two-section legs. A center brace stabilizes the legs, and a metal accessory tray keeps your accessories close at hand. - TWO SLOW-MOTION CONTROLS: Track objects with precision using the slow motion control handles, perfect for astronomy, night sky and land-based observing. - 1/4”- 20 THREAD MOUNTING PLATE: Mount your optics to slide along a slot cut in the mounting plate to adjust the forward and aft location of the telescope, spotting scope, binocular mount adapter, or camera. - UNBEATABLE WARRANTY & SUPPORT: Buy with confidence from Celestron, a leading telescope brand in California since 1960.

However, the scope weight is probably at the maximum limit of what the mount will handle. The assembly will likely be a little wobbly. **Q: Is this a solid (no vibrations) tripod for a Celestron Mak C90 mainlid used as a spotting scope?** A: I use it for my celestron tripod for an astronomy 25-125 zoom binoculars. The tripod is solid with fine micro adjustments and smooth movement. Only down side was no instructions on how to use the tripod, had to figure it out on my own, but it wasn't hard. Hope this helps! **Q: I want to buy it for my celestron 71020 skymaster 25-125x80 will it work fine? what is the preferable tripod for these binoculars anyway?** A: It depends on what you're looking at. If astronomy, then no. I tried this tripod with my Celestron 20x80 Skymasters. It sits too low and the alt/az knobs get in the way. Anything above 30 degrees is uncomfortable. Even if on the horizon, the adjustment knobs get in the way but it is more usable. If you want to look at the stars, get the Orion Paragon Plus. This mount is probably better suited for a small telescope. **Q: Does this tripod come with rubber pads at the bottom of legs for setting it up on hardwood floor?** A: Saw the pegs off, I did. Mine was on a wooden floor and it's wobbly and slides all over the place because of the pegs on the bottom of the legs. I got a hacksaw and carefully sawed each one off flush with the bottom and then put non-skid pads on the bottom. The tripod is about 10 times more stable now on the wood floor and I highly recommend you do the same. I am surprised the MFG does not make suggestion of this. ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron – Heavy Duy Alt-Azimuth Tripod – Sturdy Extendable Aluminum Tripod – Use for Spotting Scope, Binocular, Camera, and Small Telescope – Slow Motion Handles for Smooth Small Adjustments - Celestron 71017 SkyMaster 25x100mm Porro Prism Binoculars with Multi-Coated Lens, BaK-4 Prism Glass and Carry Case, Black - Celestron – NexYZ – 3–Axis Universal Smartphone Adapter for Telescope – Digiscoping Smartphone Adapter – Capture Images and Video Through Your Telescope or Spotting Scope --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/1166904-heavy-duty-alt-azimuth-tripod-for-spotting-scopes-and-telescopes](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/1166904-heavy-duty-alt-azimuth-tripod-for-spotting-scopes-and-telescopes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
