Lightweight and Stable Tripod for AM3 and AM5
The ZWO Tripod TC40 is specially designed for use with the ZWO AM3 and AM5 harmonic equatorial mounts. Thanks to its high-quality carbon construction, the tripod offers an ideal combination of sturdiness and portability. With a load capacity of up to 50 kg, it’s suitable for various telescope setups, from compact refractors to larger systems with accessories.
Although often underestimated, the tripod is an essential component of any telescope setup. An unstable base leads to vibrations, blurriness, and frustration. With the TC40, you get maximum performance from your mount and telescope.
