The tripod worked very well with the telescope I had purchased. The problem was that most tripods are rather flimsy. I needed a heavy duty tripod for the Celestron scope because it is very heavy. It worked well. from Amazon.com Should be a bit taller and needs a lock on the Altitude movement. Otherwise, this is nice product. I've always found Celestron's consumer products to be of much better construction than Meade. from Amazon.com Bought this for my Celestron SkyMaster 100x25 binoculars. Bad choice (binoculars were a bad choice too). from Amazon.com I'm not satisfied with this prduct. I bought it on trusting the Celestron product team. I wanted it to work well with the SkyMaster 25x100 bino. from Amazon.com It arrived in good shape, on time. It works fairly well with a Celestron C5, with one major problem. The elevation fine adjust has a huge amount of play, several degrees. from Amazon.com The maximum height of the tripod is only 45 inches. This is an uncomfortable height for looking through binoculars while standing. Celestron should have a users guide showing how their tripod and binoculars are supposed to work together. from Amazon.com The fine adjustment knobs offer limited range but precise adjustments for aiming a scope under high power or for tracking distant objects. The fine adjustment knobs are also connected by cables minimizing vibrations and a possible source of misalignment. A minor quibble with the design of this tripod is the screw-in eyepiece holder which serves to add additional rigidity to the legs. I would have preferred a built-in locking mechanism instead. from Amazon.com Bought this for my Celestron SkyMaster 100x25 binoculars. Bad choice (binoculars were a bad choice too). from Amazon.com The fine adjustment will adjust the vertical angle maybe 15 degrees. This isn't very helpful for star gazing. The maximum height of the tripod is only 45 inches. This is an uncomfortable height for looking through binoculars while standing. from Amazon.com I hate this tripod , it is heavy and not stable at all. I think it needs to be tightend. from Amazon.com
