Stormbringer Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Well folks i ordered this on Monday Evening after reading on the forum about someone ordering a pistol grip for their tripod and it arrived today https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CF1LS94/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I am well chuffed with it very stable if a tad on heavy side but that will help keep it rigid so old tripod will get put away in cupboard , given away or charity shop So all i need now is Steve Tonkins Binocular Astronomy book to arrive and the clouds to go away and i am all set lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceBass Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) congrats. There's a thread somewhere (on this forum I think) that recommended adding 'Lock Thread' to certain nuts (?) on this tripod. They were noted to be prone to falling off.

Stormbringer Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Ok tried the tripod out tonight what a diferance from the flimsy camera tripod i had been using before its a lot sturdier and steadier the legs have 3 positions 30' 45' and 90' i found if i have front at 30' and the 2 rears at 45' and extend the 2 rears further than front leg i can sit in my garden chair and the tripod can fit over me and chair Looked at M31 , M42 and the pliedes (7 sisters) it was really quite enjoyable as i was able to sit and be quite comfy without knocking the tripod all time lol to say i am pleased with the tripod would be an understatement i am really glad i got it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
