  • Telegizmos Tripod Cover

    The Telegizmos Tripod Cover protects tripods with a leg spread up to 50 inches and a height up to 52 inches from sun, rain and dew. Its three-panel design has a top opening with a maximum circumference of 27 inches (9 inch diameter) with the cover closed, which can be adjusted to a snug fit around the mount with one of the four included 2-inch spring clamps.

    Solar Radiant Barrier: A Multi-Layer Polyethylene Material

    The cover is made from TeleGizmos' solar radiant barrier material, originally developed for NASA as an insulator in spacecraft. It is multi-layer polyethylene with a fully aluminized surface and embedded fibrous webbing, and it is not Mylar. The aluminized surface reflects heat, keeping equipment left in sunlight much cooler and shortening cool-down time. The material is strong, light, tear and puncture resistant and waterproof, and the seams are double lap sewn for strength, so the cover protects from rain and dew during temporary outside storage.

    Full-Length Velcro Closure: Leg Height up to 52"

    Designed for ease of use, the Telegizmos Tripod Cover is built from three panels that open along one full-length seam. You simply wrap the cover around your tripod and secure it with the continuous Velcro closure. Heavy-duty 1-inch welting is wrapped around the top and bottom, and the Velcro is sewn onto 2-inch welting on the open seam. Of the four included 2-inch spring clamps, one adjusts the top opening and three help wrap and secure the cover to the tripod legs.

    Protecting Electronics with a 27" Adjustable Top Opening

    This cover is not just for storage; many users leave it on while observing or imaging when conditions are dewy. The adjustable top opening, with a maximum circumference of 27 inches, lets you place the cover over the mount's motor drives and electronics, protecting them from moisture. Should you need to access an accessory tray, the full-length Velcro can be partially opened without removing the entire cover.

    Standard vs. 365 Series: Protection Beyond 2 Weeks

    This Standard TeleGizmos cover is intended for temporary outside storage, not more than occasional, short-term exposure. For more than 1 to 2 weeks of continuous outdoor exposure, choose the 365 Series covers, made for continuous 24/7, 365-day outdoor exposure; this tripod cover design is also offered in the 365 Series.

  • How do I know if the Telegizmos Tripod Cover will fit my tripod?

    Compare your tripod with the cover's sizes: it fits tripods with a leg spread up to 50 inches and a leg height up to 52 inches. With the cover closed, the top opening has a maximum circumference of 27 inches (9 inch diameter).

    Can I leave my tripod outside permanently with the Telegizmos Standard Tripod Cover?

    No. This Standard cover is intended for temporary outdoor storage only. For continuous exposure exceeding 1 to 2 weeks, choose the 365 Series covers, made for continuous 24/7, 365-day outdoor exposure.

    How does the Telegizmos Tripod Cover attach to the tripod?

    The cover opens along its entire length. You wrap it around the tripod legs and press the full-length Velcro seam closed. One of the four included 2-inch spring clamps adjusts the top opening to a snug fit around the mount, and the other three help wrap and secure the cover to the tripod legs.

    Will the Telegizmos Tripod Cover protect my mount's electronics from dew during an imaging session?

    Yes. Many users leave the cover on while observing or imaging when conditions are dewy. The adjustable top opening lets you place the cover over the mount's motor drives and electronics, protecting them from moisture, and accessory trays can be reached by opening the Velcro.

    What is the TeleGizmos solar radiant barrier material? Is it Mylar?

    No, it is not Mylar. The material is a proprietary multi-layer polyethylene with embedded fibrous webbing and a fully aluminized surface. It was originally developed for NASA as an insulator in spacecraft, and it is strong, light, tear and puncture resistant.

    Can condensation form inside the Telegizmos Tripod Cover?

    Yes, under certain atmospheric conditions, such as high humidity or large temperature swings, condensation can still form on your equipment under any cover.
