Product Description
The Denali tripod weighs about 16 pounds. It is made of States Industries ApplePly®, stainless steel, and anodized aluminum. Spring-loaded leg adjusters apply pressure with two knobs per leg. Simply loosen the knobs and extend the leg to the desired height. The tripod stands about 32" to 41", depending on how it is adjusted. Note that the column and M002C mount add about 13 1/2" to the center height. So, when the telescope is pointed horizontally, its center will be between 45.5" and 54.5" high.
New Stablelock Tray:
Combining dense Appleply hardwood with a rock-solid design makes a big difference when comparing Stellarvue tripods to others. The newest tray attaches to the tripod securely with three knobs that have captive, threaded studs. Merely bring the tripod up from the bottom to attach the threaded studs to the precision machined tripod leg brackets. Thread each in place. Your tripod is now one solidly, bolted-together tripod that will hold Stellarvue telescopes up to the SVX127D using the Stellarvue M002C mount and column. We do not recommend this setup for larger telescopes. This tripod is sent fully assembled and tested. All you need to do is attach the tray, column and M002C mount head.
New Carrying Bag
Store the tripod in the new, heavy-duty bag. The M002C mount head and column can be stored in a smaller separate bag supplied with this set. Place the tripod in the large bag with one leg facing up, then fit the mount/column bag in the case as shown. This will keep the parts together and allow you to carry everything except the tray out to the field.

M002CW mount and column
the mount is great with excellent comfortable knobs that are easy to turn when wearing thick gloves. Why wasn't the same kind of knob used at the bottom of the rod that attaches the 3pod to the column? This is uncomfortable to use and, worse, I found it necessary for one person to turn the knob and another to turn the base of the column in the opposite direction to get a really tight fit with no wobble. Nicholas: Our current design of our tripod uses the same type of knob as the others so I think you got one of the very first versions of our tripod. If this is still a concern for you give me a call and I will help you get exactly what you are looking for. Thanks for your support. Vic Maris President Stellarvue Inc.
