Seestar TC20 Carbon Fiber Tripod for Seestar Smart Telescopes
The Seestar TC20 Carbon Fiber Tripod provides a lightweight, sturdy foundation for your smart telescope, combining a minimal 590 g weight with an impressive 30 kg load capacity. Its carbon fiber legs offer an adjustable height range from 235 mm to 365 mm and fold down to just 265 mm, creating an ideal balance of stability and portability for any observing site.
Carbon Fiber Build: 590g Weight with a 30kg Payload Capacity
Constructed from lightweight carbon fiber, the TC20 tripod weighs only 590 g, making it easy to carry with your Seestar to any location. Despite its low weight, it supports up to 30 kg of equipment.
Field Adjustability: 235-365mm Height Range for Uneven Terrain
Designed for real-world conditions, the TC20's legs adjust independently across a height range of 235 mm to 365 mm. This makes it simple to level your setup on uneven ground, from a grassy field to a sloped driveway. Non-slip rubber feet provide a secure grip on various surfaces and help reduce vibrations for steady performance.
Seestar Compatibility: The Role of the 3/8" Mounting Screw
The TC20 features a standard 3/8" threaded mounting screw, for easy installation with a wide range of devices and accessories. It is made for the Seestar S30 and S30 Pro, and as a replacement for the stock tripod of the Seestar S50. For equatorial mode it pairs with the Seestar TH10 Fluid Tripod Head, and the TH10 and TC20 combination is recommended for the S30 Pro.
Equatorial Mode Limitation: When using the TC20 with a Seestar S50 and the optional TH10 tripod head in equatorial mode, the tripod head may hit a tripod leg at certain angles. For this reason, this specific combination is not recommended for use in regions below 15° latitude.
TC20 vs. Stock Tripods: Clarifying the Seestar S50 and S50 Pro
Understanding which tripod you need can be confusing. The TC20 is the tripod that comes with the Seestar S50, and ZWO offers it as a replacement for the S50's stock tripod. The Seestar S50 Pro includes a different tripod model, so the TC20 is not the S50 Pro's tripod.

Which Seestar models is the Seestar TC20 Carbon Fiber Tripod for?
The TC20 is made for the Seestar S30 and S30 Pro, and serves as a replacement for the Seestar S50's stock tripod. It uses a standard 3/8" mounting screw. It is a different model from the tripod included with the Seestar S50 Pro.
Is the TC20 tripod the same one that comes with the Seestar S50 Pro?
No, the TC20 is a different model from the tripod included with the Seestar S50 Pro. The TC20 is the standard, factory-original tripod that is included with the Seestar S50.
I have a Seestar S50 and want to use it in equatorial mode with the TH10 head. Does latitude matter with the TC20 tripod?
Yes. With the Seestar S50, the TH10 tripod head and the TC20 tripod in equatorial mode, the tripod head may hit a tripod leg at certain angles, so this combination is not supported in regions below 15° latitude.
Can I use the Seestar TC20 on a sloped driveway or uneven lawn?
Yes, absolutely. The TC20 is designed for field use on uneven surfaces. Its legs can be adjusted independently to different lengths, allowing you to easily level the tripod head. The adjustable height ranges from 235 mm to 365 mm.
What is the maximum load capacity of the Seestar TC20?
The Seestar TC20 has a maximum load capacity of 30 kg.
How much does the Seestar TC20 tripod weigh and how small does it pack down?
The tripod is extremely portable, weighing only 590 g (about 1.3 lbs). It folds down to a compact length of 265 mm, making it easy to transport in the included drawstring carrying bag.
