The AP/Baader tripod is German made and you can see that from the workmanship. It is made from hardwood and exceptionally sturdy. It was designed with Astro Physics 400/600 mounts in mind. I used it with a Vixen GP mount and the vixen Altlux mount. This tripod can be used for various mounts and adapters are available online. New tripods are $ 789 plus shipping plus adapter. I am selling my tripod for $500. I will pu a picture up later today.
