I have two of these tripods with extension pillars one I use for my HA telescope this I got for my seestar as it's to low for me as I am getting older
I did first try a camera tripod but it moves as you level the seestar, this one is light but rock solid and puts the seestar at a nice height it's very nicely made but not over engineered, if your looking for a grab and go tripod then this one is what you need

So, I would say this is the best tripod around for many uses. It is quite solid while not being as heavy as the steel alternatives. It has one issue. This is that you extend the legs with twist and the leg tubes are only glued into the receptacles at the top of the tripod. The glue breaks and the leg spins. Not a disaster in that you can use two hands and solve the problem but a design flaw really. I solved this problem by drilling holes and then inserting rivets and really that is something that should have been done at the factory ... Only took me 15 minutes but, of course, I had a drill, a rivet gun and rivets. I still recommend the tripod but just be aware and, really, there is no equivalent alternative. I actually did try (before buying this) a Celestron tripod (eBay bargain) but that was not nearly as good as this.

Bought this for my Star Adventurer 2i. It is a light-weight but sturdy tripod, and the top is exactly the same diameter as the ST's equatorial wedge, making the whole assembly look great. The black and white tripod matches the ST's livery and is expendable. My only reason for awarding 4 stars instead of 5 is that the white paintwork could be better. However, this isn't very noticeable and doesn’t affect the tripod's functionality. It was very good value for money (£79) so I shouldn’t grumble!

I bought this to accompany the star adventurer 2i. The tripod is extremely stable and lightweight. Delivery took a little longer than stated but this was mainly due to there being no stock and the purchase being between Xmas and new year. FLO organised my order to come straight from the warehouse so it meant this would speed the delivery up. Great customer care as always.
Highly recommended.

Good review for this bit of kit. I previously had my Star Adventurer mounted on an old camera tripod which for the most part was fine but it just never felt sturdy. Mounted on this tripod its like a rock. Perfect for a travelling set up. My only issue and I have read this with a lot of the reviews is that there is no carry case. I would have liked a purpose built travel case for it but its not the end of the world and for those who are purchasing a new Star Adventure, I recommend this all day lonh

The tripod is well made and really light to carry around. It fits perfectly with the Star Adventurer and if placed correctly on solid ground, it will stay there during the night without any problems. Only thing I miss from this product is a soft case to make carrying it around easier. This last thing is the only reason I'm rating it 4/5.

This tripod is pretty good and is sturdy enough for the star adventurer. This isn't a high quality tripod but it does the job. This tripod should have come with a tripod carry case for easy transport and this is the reason why I give it 4 stars.

Light and good enough for a small maksutov or refractor but the tripod leg 'screws' easily get loose after some use. You can however tighten them so the tripod becomes much more stable again.
