Celestron Regal Premium Tripod

4-Section Legs with 3 Angles and a 1746mm Max Height

The aluminum legs on the Regal Tripod offer robust and flexible support, extending from a minimum height of 463mm up to 1746mm. Each leg features four sections with quick flip-lever locks, allowing for rapid height adjustments as your viewing needs or terrain change. For setup on uneven ground, each leg can be independently set to one of three different angles, ensuring a level and stable platform is always achievable.

• Padded Wraps: Two legs include padded wraps, which provide comfort when shouldering the tripod for transport and easier handling in cold weather.
• Retractable Spiked Feet: Transition from soft to hard ground by simply turning the rubber pads to expose metal spikes, guaranteeing a solid footing regardless of the surface.
• Wide Stance: At full extension, the tripod feet are 41 inches apart, covering an area of approximately 728 square inches for maximum stability.

Two-Way Fluid Head with Quick Release Balance Rail

The Regal Tripod is equipped with a two-way fluid pan head operated by a single handle for smooth, controlled movements. Separate tension knobs for the pan and tilt axes are located on the same side for convenient, one-handed adjustments. This design lets you precisely track moving subjects or make fine adjustments to your framing without vibration.

Attaching your equipment is secure and straightforward with the quick-release plate, which uses a standard 1/4-20 thread. This plate functions as a balance rail, allowing you to slide your spotting scope or camera forward or backward to find the perfect center of gravity. A safety release button prevents the plate from accidentally sliding out of the head, protecting your gear from a fall.

6.04 lb Design with Retractable Hook and Spiked Feet

Engineered for both portability and stability, the Celestron Regal weighs only 6.04 lbs but supports nearly 9 lbs of equipment. For enhanced stability, particularly in windy conditions, a retractable balance hook is located at the bottom of the center column. By hanging a heavy item like a backpack from the hook, you can significantly increase the tripod's resistance to vibration and wind shake.

• Retractable Hook: When not in use, the balance hook retracts neatly into the center column, staying out of the way during transport and setup.
• Bubble Levels: Dual bubble levels, one on the tripod body and another on the pan head, ensure your setup is perfectly level for accurate panning and imaging.
• Portability: The tripod folds down to a compact 24.75 inches and includes a carrying case with a shoulder strap for easy transport to your observing site.
