Wow!  Take a look at this sturdy Celestron table top tripod!  How cool would it be to set up your Celestron NexStar SE or NexStar Evolution telescope on a picnic table or other sturdy table during camping trips, travel, or in your own backyard?  As you can see from the chart at the bottom of the page, the NexStar Tabletop Tripod has a footprint of just 17" x 16" and weighs only 6.8 pounds.  

Setup is quick and easy compared to a full-height tripod. Simply place the Tabletop Tripod on a camp table, bench, tailgate, or any other flat surface.  Then, open and level the tripod legs, attach the mount and telescope, and observe.

The Celestron Tabletop Tripod has adjustable knobs on each leg and a bubble leveler on the mount plate to ensure your setup is level before adding the telescope. Just like the NexStar SE and NexStar Evolution’s standard tripod, the Tabletop Tripod has three captured screws on the underside of the mount plate so you can securely lock your mount and telescope in place.

When not in use, the Tabletop Tripod’s legs fold inward and stow neatly under the mount plate for easy storage and transport.

Compatible telescopes:

• NexStar SE Series – 4SE, 5SE, 6SE, 8SE
• NexStar Evolution Series – 6, 8, 9.25, 8HD, and Limited Edition 8HD
