I was pleasantly surprised by this tripod. I initially expected it to be cheap, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. It’s made entirely of sturdy metal and works perfectly with my Seestar S50. The tripod allows me to adjust the angle easily, making it ideal for placing the Seestar in EQ mode. The sliding plate features both 3/8" and 1/4" threads, and there’s a handy rubber grommet at the end that lets you remove the 1/4" thread when needed.The tripod pans 360 degrees very smoothly. One detail that’s often overlooked is the cone-shaped stem located at the center underneath. Be sure to loosen it to level out the upper half. Pay close attention to the bubble level, and rotate the tripod 360 degrees to ensure it’s fully leveled—otherwise, it could throw off your Seestar's alignment.
