Product Description

Product Description
The perfect tripod is very stable, strong enough to withstand some serious abuse, and yet moves with fluid smoothness. Orion's Paragon professional tripods fill the bill, providing heavy-duty support for giant binoculars, cameras, spotting scopes and small telescopes.The Paragon-Plus heavy-duty XHD is constructed almost exclusively of aluminum, making it stronger at key stress points where other tripods fail. It features large, adjustable aluminum-tube legs with ridged helical locks. The legs are tri-braced to the center elevator housing for extra stability.The tripod comes with the two-way fluid-type pan head. It features tension adjustment knobs on both axes and can be raised or lowered with a hinged hand crank. With quick-release 1/4"-20 dovetail shoe, convertible cushion/spike feet and built-in bubble level.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good light weight tripod for spotter or camera, September 8, 2004
By Taras R. Hnatyshyn (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've been using this tripod with my 35mm cameras, medium format cameras (Hasselblads), ETX90 spotting scope and Orion Short Tube 80 refractor. The tripod performs well in most cases, and has a built in bubble level to help in leveling the tripod. The only shortcomings are that the pan head is difficult to adjust in small increments, so centering items in the telescopes are not as effortless as one would like. This tripod is a great platform for a 35mm camera or a medium format camera with shorter lenses. When I use my longest lenses (350mm & 500mm) on my Hasselblad, I have to take additional measures to insure that the tripod remains steady. Then again, these are probably beyond what this tripod was designed for.

The case is a great way to store and carry the tripod.
