Very Stable TALL Adjustable Height TRIPOD for Losmandy, Astro-Physics and Takahashi mounts and others - Observe in Comfort These Tall Tripods are giving remote observing a new meaning. They allow you to use your refractor without stooping to your knees. They extend to 65" and can be set as low as 41". Weight is about 23 pounds and folds to a very small package as seen below in the PICS. Available with 360 degree rotating heads so you can easily adjust the whole mount and scope in the dark by just unlocking the table and moving the mount to the true pole - no matter how far off you are initially. Unlike the standard adjustment that comes with your AP900 or Losmandy mount, you have a full 360 degree rotation capability. Ap's version of their rotating table only allows for a very small correction in azimuth. If you guess wrong, you have to lift the whole mount to get on the pole. The Binoscope Company method is clearly an easier way to rough pole align. Available in the following configurations with current pricing as of 01-01-2010 - Website prices have not yet been corrected.
