Celestron Tabletop Tripod
Celestron Tabletop Tripod - compact and sturdy, is half the size and weight of a standard tripod, making it perfect for travel. The low-profile legs and wide footprint offer added stability, while the convenient tabletop design makes it easier for some observers (especially children) to access the eyepiece. Setup is quick and easy compared to a full-height tripod. Simply place the Tabletop Tripod on a camp table, bench, tailgate, or any other flat surface. When not in use, the Tabletop Tripod’s legs fold inward and stow neatly under the mounting plate for easy storage and transport.
