Attaching an EQ1 head to something.

[Mr niall]

Hello there - I was wondering how you turn an eq1 head into an "eq1 head on a tripod" - does it need a specific eq1 tripod or will it fit on other things? Or can I get shims to adapt it or anything?

Many thanks

You can get an EQ1 tripod like the one in this advert for a full scope, mount, and tripod:

Sometimes you can find a tripod on it's own on "UK Astroboot" website:

Keep a close eye cos the stock changes all the time - something usually comes up eventually. Hth
