Description Reviews
 
Our new Series 5000 Tripod + Head combo is designed to be simply the best value out there in an affordable heavy-duty tripod for binocular astronomy. Essentially comparable to the much more expensive Bogen/Manfrotto 503HDV series head and 028B tripod. Specifically designed for use with our largest of astronomical binoculars, it can accommodate observers of virtually any size with a fully-extended height of 84 inches (that's right, 7 feet!) 

Better yet, this tripod is extremely well built of heavy aluminum tubing, with crank-adjustable center column and an adjustable spreader for easy height adjustment. Features comfortable rubber grips on two of the three legs. The heavy-duty video head is fabricated from cast aluminum and features adjustable tension and extremely smooth operation. Includes a quick release plate with a standard 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded studs and dual rubber-padded pan handles. Weighs 15 lbs., and the head has a 17.6 pound (8 kg) capacity with an internal counter-balance spring to help offset the weight of heavier binoculars. Expect a 1-2 second damping (vibration settling) time with a 10-lb. load, and a 2-3 second damping time with a 16-lb. load. Also works great for digital SLR's and other heavy still or video cameras. Comes with a nice padded carry bag and is covered by our 2-year warranty.

This tripod can be used to support binoculars up to our 16-pound Signature 110mm models. It is best suited to our 10-pound Signature 85mm and Gemini 100mm models and our 13.3-pound 100mm F/5.3 binocular telescope.

The optional Manfrotto 181B Auto-Dolly makes it easy to wheel the entire unit around an observatory, deck or garage.

Pricing: $300, or just $250 when purchased with certain new binoculars!

Please note this product was not designed or intended by the manufacturer for use by a child 12 years of age or younger.
