Stellarvue Aluminum, Piers, and Wooden Tripods

Stellarvue Tripods

Our aluminum tripod is designed to be very light in weight but extremely stable in performance. It is much more stable than import Chinese aluminum tripods. This Surveyor’s tripod is designed to work with Stellarvue M1, M2 and MG2 mounts. The M1 and M2 will require extension columns. The MG2 mount has its own integral column. These tripods use a 5/8-11 center mounting bolt. Using the 5/8-11 allows for a tighter attachment and that is why we use it.

Our pier tripod is designed to work with our M150 mount. This tripod has a receiver that accepts to mount head. The head is attached to the pier tripod using three 3/8-16 side mounting screws. This ensures the mount head will not turn and unthread. The Pier tripod is relatively light in weight yet it is our most stable tripod ever. Adapters allow this pier tripod to be used with other mounts like the Discmounts.

Our pier tripod are made in the USA using full thickness USA walnut or maple.

Aluminum Tripod

Stellarvue heavy duty Surveyor's tripod with Appleply Tray. Just open the tripod legs, part way, extend the tray slots a little and pop it into place. Tripod has a 59 mm recess at top and a 5/8”-11 mounting bolt. Attaches directly to the MECA or MEC2 columns. When using the M1 or M2 mount, use the appropriate column. The MG2 mount attaches directly to the tripod. Tripod is 36” - 58.5” in height when in use. Legs are 40” in length when retracted. For the best stability keep the tripod under 48” in height. Remember to add the height of the mount and column. (M1 mount and column adds 12”, M2 mount and column adds 18” and the MG2 adds 15” to total height). Tripod with tray weighs only 11.6 pounds but is extremely stable thanks to its oversized top. It is much more stable than Chinese aluminum tripods.
