4.0 out of 5 stars Heavy enough, but light enough, but wedge is useless, March 31, 2009
This review is from: Celestron Tripod/Wedge for NexStar 4GT/5i (Electronics)
Nice grab and go tripod. Has the weight to dampen vibrations but still light enough and small enough to take with you easily enough. However, the wedge is near useless if you are using a tracking scope. There's no fine adjustment other than moving the entire tripod left/right and up/down is very hard to adjust in small increments. If you're looking for a nice tripod for grab and go, works great. If you're looking for a wedge... keep looking.
