Tripod for StarSense Explorer Tabletop Dobsonians

This is definitely a very well made tripod, and so it should be for as expensive as it is. You will definitely see that this tripod is very good quality and very solid. Just use caution that this is the tripod that you would need with what you purchased due to a lot of the telescopes tend to be very shaky, with barely any effort. I gave this tripod itself a very high rating due to it's being very well made and being extremely solid stainless steel, well-thought-of when produced. If I were to change anything, it would be the hardware, the bottom of the legs to extend. It seemed like it was the weakest point as far as quality. Goes on the entire product. All in all, I feel that you get your money's worth with this particular tripod, and you're guaranteed that it will work with the same brand celestron telescope, at least the one that I purchased.

IMO the tripod is a must have for using the telescope. I was having a tough time finding a good place to set the telescope down before getting this. The build of the tripod is very solid. Much sturdier than the camera tripods that I am used to using. Not as portable but neither is the telescope.

Strong, Sturdy and perfect fit for the Celestron StarSense Explorer DOB. The telescoping legs are thick and tightening clamp is easy and comfortable to turn. The telescope itself fits comfortably rests securely without rattling. Great addition to complement the telescope worth some money.

Very sturdy. Adjustable for height and I love that we can store lenses on it too. They're also seems to be a small table or platform in which we can set things on like a phone or other accessories to the telescope. I'm not sure if that was the intent of this platform but that's what we use it for. Great buy and well worth the price!

I found this to be a very heavy duty stable tripod. Worked great in supporting my new Celestron 130 table top dob. I am sure it would be great for the 150 as well …

I definitely underestimated how solid this tripod was gonna be! It is a complete game changer for my dob! Saves my back and allows easy adjustments for the children to also have fun! Last night I was looking at Uranus at that distance there was pretty much zero shakiness.

Looked closely into how to get my Celestron 150 AZ up to a height that works for easy viewing. Looked into numerous options like building some sort of stand, a table from IKEA or ..... I decided on this tripod because it is made for that scope, plus it will allow Leveling on any surface. My scope is 25 lbs, so it isn't real easy to put on and align to the tripod. Hence the four stars. Solved that problem by removing the optical tube when putting the actual base on tripod. Also, then I can keep the tube in the house safely when not using it. Might not be as much of a problem if using for a 130 or 114 mm scope. Another consideration is that you cannot easily collapse the tripod to store it or move it around. It doesn't fold like most Celestron tripods. So, a few things to consider. That's why I buy from Amazon. The tripod is very rigid.

Easy to transport, and a must have for the table top dobsonian. Pretty sturdy, it has not let us down so far.

C’est le cadeau idéal pour un télescope de type Dobson

Love this tripod. It is very well built and highly recommend. It makes viewing so much more comfortable and portable. If you have a 6” Dob you won’t regret buying this.

Easy to set up, and absolutely perfect fit for telescope. Zero complaints here!

Fits a Celestron dubsonian table top telescope perfectly.
