Mark Yanofsky –
This is a superbly solid and flexible tripod.Well worth the asking price.I’ve got it under my 20x65ED binos and the entire package is steady,but also very easy to handle.
Jack (verified owner) –
So I purchased this tripod in conjunction with my 15×70 Ultra purchase – I have 40+ years experience in the amateur astronomy hobby – this is the best tripod in this price range I have ever used – the fine adjustments very smooth and allow you to get a balance I have never been able to achieve in a package in this price range – even my alt/az telescope mounts at several times the cost do not allow me the smooth motion that these do.
I love the double handles, I actually turn the curvature in so it hugs my neck/jaw line/ears and once I get all the adjustments set I can simply move my head around and the bino’s follow – I don’t even have to touch the handles I just move my head up, down, left, right, – it is amazing – now that being said my 15 x 70 Ultra’s are half the weight this tripod is rated for and I do not believe you could put an 11lb load on these and have them perform like this – but keep them lightly loaded and they are wonderful – Are they Manfrotto 475’s with a 608 head – nope but they are close and 1/4th the price….No way I would invest that much for the Manfrotto option with these on the market….
