Celestron Heavy Duty Alt-Azimuth Tripod

The Celestron Heavy Duty Alt-Azimuth Tripod is a versatile, stable mount designed for binoculars, spotting scopes, and small to medium telescopes. With its robust build, smooth slow-motion controls, and adjustable height, it’s the perfect solution for hands-free, precision viewing of the night sky or distant terrestrial subjects.

Key Features

  • Heavy-Duty Alt-Azimuth Mount – ideal for binoculars, spotting scopes, and compact telescopes

  • Adjustable Aluminium Legs – height range from 32” to 45” for comfortable viewing

  • Sliding 1/4”-20 Mounting Bolt – adjust the balance point of your equipment for stability

  • Smooth Motion Controls – intuitive slow-motion handles for fine adjustments in altitude and azimuth

  • 360° Rotation – effortless large movements with friction clutch and azimuth lock

  • Sturdy Build – supports equipment up to 11 lbs (5 kg)

Hands-Free Stability for Better Viewing

Whether you’re scanning the night sky with giant binoculars, observing wildlife with a spotting scope, or setting up a Celestron C90 or C5 telescope, this tripod provides rock-solid stability. The sliding mounting bolt allows you to fine-tune the balance point, reducing wobble and ensuring your optics stay centred over the tripod.

Smooth Alt-Azimuth Control

The metal alt-azimuth head offers two ways to move your equipment:

  • Large adjustments – manually reposition with the friction clutch and azimuth lock for sweeping views or full 360° rotation.

  • Precise tracking – use the slow-motion control handles to smoothly follow celestial objects as they drift across the sky.

Built for Convenience

The tripod includes a centre brace with accessory tray, providing extra stability and a handy place to store eyepieces, filters, or small accessories. The foldable aluminium legs adjust easily, making it practical for both home observing and field use.

Does it come with a warranty?

All our products are UK stock so come with manufacturers warranty

What happens if I don't like it?

We always want you to be happy with your purchase — so if you’re unsure, please ask us first. We’re always happy to give honest advice before you buy.

If the product arrives and you simply decide it isn’t for you, you can usually return it within the cooling-off period — as long as it’s unused, in perfect condition, and returned with all original packaging and accessories.

Because telescopes and optical equipment are large, delicate and expensive to ship, you’ll need to cover the cost of sending it back, and if we originally subsidised delivery, we may deduct our outbound shipping costs from your refund.

We’re a small specialist business, and unnecessary returns genuinely hurt us — so if you’re unsure at all, please talk to us first. We’d rather help you choose the right item than process a return.

How fast is shipping?

We aim to ship in-stock items as quickly as possible.

  • Most in-stock orders dispatch within 1–2 working days
  • Delivery usually takes 1–3 working days after dispatch (UK mainland)
  • Heavier / oversized items and special orders may take a little longer

You’ll receive tracking details as soon as your order is on its way.

Astronomy equipment often requires specialist packing and trusted couriers — we do this to keep your gear safe, not to slow things down. If you need something urgently, just ask and we’ll do our best.
