ZWO TC40 Carbon Fiber Tripod - Light, Stable, Solid

This is a great tripod, I have it matched with a ZWO AM3 mount.
Solid, stable and so light compared to the old steel tripod I'm used to using in the past.

Sturdy

Light but much sturdier than I had anticipated. Seems just as stable as my Ioptron 1.75 inch tripod. Weight bag seems a reasonable idea if added stability needed.

Great with the AM3

Brought it to be used with an AM3. We didn't had a lot of clear sky lately but so far I love it.
It is really compact when folded which is great. Deployed is "only" 80cm but it's not an inconvenience, the AM3 **** falls in the best position for me to do the PA.
Maybe if I use the AM3 in ALT/Z mode for visual astronomy it might be a little to short (I will try one clear day).
Overall it's a really well made and sturdy tripod and I recommend it

ZWO TC40 Carbon Fiber Tripod

I bought this tripod along with an AM3 mount and must say that I am delighted with the purchase. I ordered this combination as a lightweight alternative to the other tripods/mounts that I own, primarily for travel and it has not disappointed so far. The tripod is incredibly light yet maintains stability as good or better than others. Of course, it works extremely well with ZWO mounts but I am impressed enough that I will probably use it with my SA GTi as well.

It is relatively short and I will likely purchase a pier extension for backyard imaging when they are in stock. Of course, All-Star Telescope made the purchase and delivery process easy. Of all the purchases I have made, this ranks at the top.
