Sky watcher star adventurer tripod?

[william_swe1]

I am about to buy the star adventurer sky tracker. But then realized it doesn't come with a tripod! After looking around for a suitable tripod that can support the weight. But here is my question: would it be possible to buy e whole telescope with a tripod to use? Then I would have a tripod to mount the tracker on and a telescope to mount on the tracker.

Yes quite a few people use their scope tripod for the Star Adventurer.

I use a Manfrotto 055, which is a relatively heavy duty photography tripod, but still makes for a light weight set up rather than a heavy duty 1.5"/2" steel leg tripod.

If you are happy for it to be almost at ground level, I found the Berlebach mini to be perfect for mine. I think it would find it tricky to buy a scope with just a tripod and if you could, it would limit your scope choices hugely, so I bought the pieces all separately.

Thats lovely, I have a similar tripod for shooting normal daytime DSLR shots.
