4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Upgrade over the Flimsy OEM Tripod, April 4, 2007

This review is from: Celestron Tripod for Nexstar 8/11 GPS Telescopes (Electronics)
I still find it hard to believe I was able to purchase a tripod of this quality for the money I spent. This tripod is about a 1000% improvement over the flimsy tripod that came originally with my orange tube Celestron C8. The telescope is now stable, much more enjoyable to use, and no longer looks like a child's toy.

Two problems: (1) The first tripod shipped arrived damaged in transit. Amazon handled the exchange seamlessly. (2) One of the slotted holes that accept the screws that attach the motor drive to the tripod was cast slightly narrow. I had to file quite a bit of metal to get the screw to go in. This is a Q.C. problem, and should not have been something I had to deal with. Had I bought it locally, I would have carted it back to the dealer for him to address.
