[REDUCED] - QuickSet Samson Tripod $100

QuickSet Samson model 4-73010-7 tripod.

Published load capacity 18kg/40lb

Weight c. 4.5kg

Articulated rubber feet (removable to reveal spikes)

Minimum height: c. 86cm

Legs extended height: c. 153cm

Maximum height with centre column extended: 199cm

I have fitted this with a 10mm bolt to suit a Giro II AZ mount and it worked well with a 100mm f/7.4 refractor.

It is possible to change this 10mm bolt with a 3/8"-16 bolt or some kind of top-plate or saddle for your particular requirements.

More details at https://www.quickset.com/products/tripods/samson/

Photos below show a range of height adjustments. The centre column adjustment is particularly useful for use with binoculars with "straight-through" eyepieces. Comparison with the wooden Oberwerk tripod shows the huge difference in tripod heights.

Price: $100

I would prefer pickup from Sydney CBD or Putney NSW 2112, but would be prepared to ship if you pay postage and packaging.
