skymaster 15x70 tripod?


Perthshirelass

506 views

Hi everyone

I cant decide which tripod to buy

1. Horizon 8115

2. redsnapper284/283

3. camlink pro 032B

you all have different views I'm confused! I'm new to this and thinking I will probably sit down to view so height may not be an issue and will mean more stability...is the bar across the legs on the Horizon a must? thinking of buying the triton ball head with grip that alot of you seem to use. The Horizon is heavier than the others does that mean its more stable?...good for backgardens but I have to travel out of town for dark skies!..okay will await a reply from someone out there...thanking you in anticipation!!:icon_scratch:

PS I can feel clear skies coming so please help me asap!!

Hi

I have advised other SGL users to go for the 8115 as it's the one I own so have experience of. The weight isn't that much of an issue. It is very stable at all heights and the bracing bar helps in that respect. I bought the tripod at Astrofest a few years ago and have used small scopes and big bins including the 15x70s on them with no problems.
