The Helium Tripod offers a host of innovative features:

• Provides a stable platform for all your equipment
  • Helium has a maximum payload capacity of 90 kg (200 lb.) when the legs are fully
    extended, or up to 113 kg (250 lb.) maximum carrying capacity when the legs are fully retracted.
  • Allows eyepiece placement at a convenient height with an adjustable height range, from 60 cm (24 in.) to 102 cm (40 in.)
• The ultra-portable and lightweight design
• Simple and intelligent mechanics permit the legs to be expanded or collapsed in seconds and produce exceptional stability at all heights
• Flexible 360-degree azimuth adjustment for worry free setups and azimuth alignment
• Coarse level adjusters conform to flat or gently sloping surfaces
• Fine level adjusters help achieve optimal level
• Swiveling feet can be fit with spikes or other third-party commercial tripod feet based on your observing site (grass, wood, concrete, gravel, etc.)
• Two built-in bubble levels to ease the coarse leveling process (bubble levels have 10 arc minutes per one-tenth inch accuracy)
• The 6061 aluminium tripod legs are red anodised with black anodised aluminium structural components (top plate, feet, etc.).

The result of these innovative features is an exceptionally stable and readily portable imaging platform that can be quickly setup, leveled and aligned with the celestial pole and easily taken down each night.
