 Rating:  - What I neededIt worked out very well for me to have this in order to mount my telescope on something on which I could rely. I will be using this for many years to come. Rating: - good basic tripod for good basic scopeI have had this tripod for a year and have been very pleased with it. I have used it in my back yard, in a field, and at the beach, and I have found it to be sturdy enough for my AT60 telescope.

Rating:  - Meade Telescope TripodI have had this tripod for three years, bought it as a present for my husband. We have never had any of the troubles noted in other reviews. Nothing breaks and it is easy to adjust the legs and move it around. It is a good tripod for beginners and adults to use with a Polaris telescope. |
