Revived the scope on my AR, and nice to have a good spare for the rifle case.

This Ball Head is well made, I have loaded a spotting scope as well as a Nikon D4 with 300 mm without drift. I am happy with ot!

It is easy to carry around. Works with spotting scope. Camera and anything else you want to mount.

Ar first, I was skeptical. I have purchased more expensive options that have failed. Let me tell you that this mount is truly awesome. I drive 5-700 miles daiy and rely on GPS sometimes. My phone stays secured even over the roughest roads. Highly recommended.

I used this tripod to mount a scope for bullseye shooting.

We love it but wish it held more water. I feel like we ar always refilling it.

I use this to support my Nikon spotting scope. Works great! All the adjustments I need to use from prone to standing. Very sturdy!

I used skyalign and got my first look at the Orion Nebula within minutes. Slewing around the scope seemed to return orion into the even the 9mm eyepeice with surprising accuracy. Tracking was good too... it held it for hours (I eventually just shut it down and went to bed).The next few days I started to get alignment problems... either failed alignment or the scope pointing in weird places for objects I knew the position of. I noticed a lot of backlash on the azimuthal axis (slop bascially) and I wondered if that was the issue. Some emails to Celestron did not really reveal much, but putting new batteries in seemed to fix it. I would not suggest running this off of double aa batteries unless you have a free supply. The slop is still there, but the scope tracks well. Image quality seems good (though my dirty front window with massive light pollution!) I have not collimator it, but it seems good. The base is solid (my floor flexes more).If your a beginner like me I suggest this scope, or at least a GOTO scope of comparible quality. Get used to it through the front window so you can learn the quirks in comfort. I had an equatorial mount prior to this and stumbling around with it in the dark is no fun. The GOTO mount is a good way to learn and then move onto an EQ mount later. When I found Orion the scope (to me) looked to be pointed to an empty area of sky. Light pollution made it impossible for me to see, but the scope showed it no problem. The 25mm and even the 9mm eyepeices did a great job. It wasn't was impressive as the pictures of it on the web, but it definately sparked my interest in astronomy again.
