The Celestron Ultima Tripod is the ideal support system for many of your favorite outdoor activities from bird watching to stargazing whether you use a camera, binocular, astronomical binocular, spotting scope, or smaller refractor.This aluminum tripod comes with a two-way pan/tilt head outfitted with a precise panning handle, a lock to hold the head in place, and a tension adjustment. Together, they make movements smooth when you're finding and tracking your terrestrial subject or astronomical object so you can lock it down and make detailed observations. A quick release plate with a 1/4"-20 threaded stud makes attaching and detaching your equipment quick and easy. Built with three leg sections, it extends from a minimum working height of 28" to a maximum of 68" with an extendable 27" center column. The column features a ballast hook on the bottom to hold a counterweight or pack that adds stability and vibration suppression by lowering the center of gravity. Weighing under 5 pounds, the tripod can hold up to 8.8 pounds of gear steady, so you can capture crisp details with a camera and lens or digiscoping through your spotter or binocular.Head Ideal observation platform for many outdoor activities from bird watching to stargazingEasy to use and versatile pan-tilt head designLarge quick release mounting plate1/4"-20 mounting bolt fits most cameras, spotting scopes, and binocular adaptersQuick release plate has a safety mechanism that prevents it from sliding completely out of the pan head without pushing the release buttonPanning handle and tension adjustment knob allow users to scan across the horizon in smooth motions and follow subjects as they moveHead tilts up to 90 with a lock knob to secure it in place at any angleHead has lateral adjustment of up to 90 to set camera or optic on the sideFull 360 panning capabilityIntegrated bubble levelPolymer/plastic materialTripod 8.8-pound payload capacity will easily handle most optics including cameras, binoculars, astronomical binoculars, spotting scopes, and smaller telescopesThree leg sections with fast flip latch style locks28.3" minimum height67.7" maximum height with center column extended27" center column with lock mechanismCrank handle enables precise column height adjustmentBallast hook on bottom of center column for adding a counterweight to lower the center of gravity, adding stability and vibration resistanceIntegrated bullseye bubble levelBlack woven cloth case with zipper closure and padded adjustable carrying strapAluminum alloy
