Does this tripod allow you to view objects at or near the zenith?

Yes, although I find that to be an uncomfortable viewing angle. It's a great tripod!

Thank you for your inquiry. This tripod will get you very close to zenith. It depends somewhat on you are viewing with and the position of the control arm. We hope this has been helpful.

Not at all. I live in a very windy area and used the tripod to take some pictures to the full Moon. It was very sturdy. I am very happy with this buy.

Dobsons have the viewfinder up top. Depending on how it's angled, you may want a chair to sit in.

That has been my experience also. The tripod does not adjust for viewing directly overhead.

yes u can, however, these binos are a bit heavy so I would suggest a tripod

Yes... The binaculars can be mounted on a tripod. I use mine for bird watching and work great. A special adapter needs to be purchased for some tripods.

Yes, it can be adjusted to four directions and will let you view from any angle.

Yes. That is the exact same scope I have mounted to this tripod and it works fine for me. I only use it for viewing objects and not for any type of photography though. Hope that helps. :-)

I have used them for star gazing and have found that you need a real sturdy tripod or the sight picture jumps around a lot.

Yes. It's a great tripod for that. That is exactly why I purchased this tripod.

Yes. But be aware that it magnifies things so much that you need good clear crisp skies and a way to track the planet's movement. Doing it by hand is possible, but takes practice. Try a 2X first

I use mine regularly for sky watching, with good results. However, a larger objective would make for brighter views.
1897912
yes! Just to the left side of the view finder tucked in a very small groove! Works great!
1996838
yes, but the only way you can see the object if to place it practically attached to the lenses. this Item its not worth it for what its intended to use.

No problem at all. I got this unit so I can leave the camera on the tripod all night while using a timer (intervalometer) for taking star/meteor shots.

Yes, I guess you could. I sometimes use mine to look at land that is about 60 miles away.

I gave the tripod to my son-in-law who uses it primarily with a spotting scope. He says he is very happy with it. His scope has an angled eye piece.truwheels
