Celestron – Regal Premium Tripod – Sturdy Aluminum Tripod with Extendable Center Column – Interchangeable Feet to Fit Your Terrain – Use for Spotting Scope, Binocular, Camera, and Small Telescope

The Celestron Regal Tripod is lightweight (6.04 lb.) and compact, requires minimal knob twisting, and can hold nearly 9 pounds of equipment, which makes it your perfect tripod. The Celestron Regal Tripod is topped with a two-way fluid pan head. The single handle makes it easy to move the head around, while two knobs, located on the same side of the head make it easy to adjust the tension of the pan and tilt. A quick release plate with standard 1/4-20 thread mount makes it easy to attach a spotting scope, binocular, camera, or small telescope to the tripod. The quick release plate also doubles as a balance rail allowing the optic to be balanced when attached to the tripod. Additionally, the quick release plate has a safety mechanism, which prevents it from sliding completely out of the pan head without pushing the release button. Each leg of the Regal Tripod is made up of four sections that can be shortened or lengthened with the flip of a simple lever lock. Each leg can also be set to three different angles, which makes all the difference when your viewing surface is not perfectly flat. The center column fully extends to nearly 69 inches (59 inches with the column down) and the bottom end of the column holds a retractable balance hook, which provides added stability for your tripod. When the hook isn't needed, it retracts up into the center column to stay neatly out of the way. Two of the tripod legs come with padded wraps, providing extra comfort when carrying and making adjustments. The legs also feature retractable spiked feet with the ability to change from rubber to spiked feet if the terrain requires it with the simple turn of the rubber pad. Other features include bubble levels, located on the top of the tripod as well as on the side of the pan head, and a carrying case. The case is the perfect place to store your tripod when not in use, and makes it easy to transport via the shoulder strap.
