Patty,Thank you for your inquiry. This telescope comes with a mount and is not compatible with other mounts. It is designed to sit on the ground and will locate and track objects for you.Sincerely,Orion Customer Service

That is a little tabletop tripod, about 6 inches tall. You will need to buy a real tripod.

Yes! It's big! I believe 6 ft tall. Shrinks down to about a foot and a half and has like 3-4 different height settings. Can angle the camera stand on the tripod. Comes in a nice carrying case too :) it's definitely worth it. The camera is meant to act like one of the bigger cameras but in compact size and so it's useful when taking photos and wanting to be in them and also for video taping because the tripod camera stand part swings back and fourth.

I believe the combined wight of the scope with the tripod is about 65 pounds, the scope weighing more than the tripod, but each manageable. I bought a big "husky" toolbox with wheels from one of the large box hardware stores for about $60 and put foam in it to transport the scope, can carry the tripod separately. (my eyepiece case and the power supply fit in the box as well).From the celestron site: Total Telescope Kit Weight 42 lbs (19 kg)

Not 100% sure, but some of the other questions asked about this telescope have answers that say it comes with a 20mm and a 10mm... This is a gift for my son, I can let you know xmas day afternoon. lol

This tabletop tripod is about 7-10 inches tall depending on adjustment. It can adjust to nearly vertical. If you have an extremely small, lightweight telescope and can get your face underneath it, it might be suitable, but I have never seen a telescope that small or a tripod that short.

The tripod is about 12" tall, but it very handy. The fact you can place this in any position, or hang from a tree in order to take a picture anywhere.

It's super easy to set up, although it is a plastic housing and adjustment knobs, so it will be touchy to focus just right. The tripod is super cheap, and you will need to invest in something that is heavy and has better manipulation controls than what this ships with. I will say though, the telescope itself is very clear and provides a pretty decent picture. I don't feel that I got a bad deal on it at all and have used it a lot over the last year and some months. Again, the tripod is cheap, but for the price you can't go wrong. Oh, and the carry bag is awesome.

No it does not, this telescope is pretty heavy and suited to a sturdy tripod. The average camera tripod is not recommended.

No. The tripod is needed to keep the telescope stable. The tripod supplied with the telescope is actually very sturdy compared to some others. The legs are really strong and resist vibration caused by wind. I recommend the vibration suppression pads too. The computerised mount from Celestron has cheap gears so you may want to just buy the 4SE optical tube and then get a decent German Equatorial Mount second hand. The OTA uses a standard dovetail rail so the mounts are compatible. I recommend you save your money to buy good quality components - don't rush in and buy a cheap 'all in one' product. Try to buy a bigger OTA than the 4SE. Maybe a Newtonian if you want to do photography. No. The tripod is needed to keep the telescope stable.

there were two tripods in the package I received. One was a flexible one, maybe 3" tall and one was a plastic one that was maybe 9" tall. Both were very cheaply made and I have not used either.

The tripod is short, but is included. It also has a standard tripod screw mount on the bottom. It will work with most other tripods if you need elevation.

I am not sure what your telescope looks like, I couldnt find it. But if you go to telescope.com and look up orion astroview 120st equatorial refractor telescope,that is what I have and it fits even with the tripod. Mine is a very big telescope, and very heavy,over 50lbs. It does have padding and it is sturdy material, it has a divider for the tripod. But I wish I had gone with a metal case with fitted incerts. I also had to take the telescope all apart to put it in there. I paid over $600.00 for my telescope, I wish I had invested a little more in the case. Hope this helps.
