Celestron Tripod2009-01-08
I purchased this product to use with the Celestron binoculars. Assembly was straight forward and it does the job. However, with heavy binoculars the stand will vibrate if touched and takes a minute or two to stabilize. I plan to rebuild it with much sturdier legs and bracing. For the price it isn't bad, but it is far from being a stable
platform for easy viewing.
Junk2008-12-27
This tripod lasted two days after Christmas. This tripod should not be used to support the Celestron Skymaster 15x70 no matter what Amazon or Celestron may think. The Celestron Skymaster Binoculars are very happy to shear plastic quick release clean off. This tripod features mostly plastic construction and comes with sparse instructions in many languages. Just go ahead and buy the next tripod up from Celestron unless you are a fan of all plastic construction. People get what they pay for so go ahead and say, "I'll be careful with it" and bust it clean off some night under the stars. I'm glad I'm out only 33 dollars. This tripod is not covered by the no fault binocular warranty for good reason.
Incredible Bargain2008-10-28
I had purchased the VistaPix IS70 digital spotting scope w/ digital camera thinking I could use it like a regular camera. As it turns out, not a good idea. I now needed the tripod that is recommended for taking pictures. Great, another expense I had not counted on. Amazon to the rescue. I purchased the tripod used at less than half the cost of a new one. WOW, is all I can say. I'll swear it was brand new and an incredible bargain. I purchase used whenever I can and you can't tell me it's not new. Thanks again Amazon.
poor design2008-09-06
the design of the connection between the tripod adapter and tripod is poor, the plastic cannot hold the weight of my 15x70 binoculars and caused damage to both binoculars and tripod after using only one week. although it's cheap, it still dont worth the price.
Avoid this item2006-02-20
I ordered this tripod, and it arrived broken.

The assembly to which a camera is attached is made out of plastic. I asked for an RMA order via E-Mail, and they only gave me an address to mail it back to with a 'copy of the invoice.'

Being lazy about mailing things back, and since it was cheap to begin with I tried repair it myself. Where it broke (the three plastic rings on the camera mount), it was impossible to re-glue, because of the torsion placed on those rings with any sort of pressure.

Even if your tripod arrives un-broken, it will likely break the first time you drop it on the camera mount from any height at all.

Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot. There are three types of rechargeable batteries: NiCD, NiMH and Lithium-Ion. Nickel Metal Hydride are the most popular rechargeable batteries at present. They hold more charge than their counter parts NiCD and don't suffer from memory effect. The one small down fall of these batteries is that they will loose a small amount of charge even if they are not being used, so be sure to check the batteries before using them. When you purchase a new digital camera make sure to ask what type of battery ...
