This super stable and robust Titan Tripod regularly sells for 1200.00...heres an opportunity to own for less then half that price...some superficial (minor signs) of use otherwise in great shape...I have luminescent tape around the legs which can be removed if desired....(Note: Image shows Tripod, Mount and Pier...only the Tripod is for sale)..to give a sense of scale, the OTA is a C-14..

Hi Houghy,
Perhaps a little overkill for my ed 80,
Certainly is impressive though.

I mean you only have one eye (or two with a binoviewer) so why on earth would you need a turret with that many eyepieces
