A definate lightweight

It is strong, light, and stable. A far cry from some others I have lifted/dragged! As one gets older this becomes important. Very pleased.

ZWO TC40 Tripod

Easy setup with the PE-160 Pier Extension. Nice, light setup. Levelling is also easier than with the larger, steel tripods.

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.
