Having recently moved from the UK to Wyoming, USA I was taken aback by the quality of the night skies here and this has reignited my love of astronomy.
I was looking for a tripod to use with some Celestron binoculars I was buying at the same time from Amazon, and was not disappointed with this unit, (or the Celestron SkyMaster Giant 15x70 Binoculars for that matter).
The tripod is very well made, sturdy and lightweight, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. It also comes with two attachments which along with the quick release mechanism means that you can easily swap what you are mounting, (in my case I can swap between mounting my binoculars and digital camera in a few seconds.)
If using this stand with binoculars for star gazing you will be very glad of the tall height this tripod extends to making finding a comfortable position to use your binoculars with this tripod a breeze.
For the price, it's outstanding value.
Manufacturer Description The Sunpak 9002DX is an economical full-size tripod that's ideal for still and video cameras of all stripes. The tripod is distinguished by such features as an oversized leg diameter of 1 inch, which handles any 35mm camera with up to a medium telephoto lens; an ultra-smooth, three-way pan with reference marks; and a quick-release plate with a bubble level for added leveling precision. It's also notably stable thanks to the oversized single-action locks, rubber leg tips, and retractable spiked feet. And as with most Sunpak tripods, the 9002DX comes with a second quick-release mounting plate with its own bubble level for a second camera. Other details include a maximum height of 64.6 inches, a tension-controlled, rapid-sliding center column, an accessory hook beneath the platform, and a folding carrying handle. The tripod, which measures 24.3 inches when collapsed and supports up to 6.6 pounds, is coated in a distinctive champagne finish.
