Where there’s an Astrophotographer the clouds are there too 😂. Nice video

@@speedtripmantriumph7542 never a truer word said. Thanks for watching.

Nice review Glenn! Looks like the ultimate travel tripod! So many useful features! Slightly on the higher price bracket, but I’m sure it’s worth it👍 Clear skies mate!

[@Astrobloke]

@@SimonsAstro cheers mate. As you know I love it and use it all the time when we are out with our DSLR’s. Its not cheap but then carbon tripods seem to be that way, the extra features make this worth the price tag in my opinion.

What a great and innovative design. Absolutely love it!

[@Astrobloke]

@@elbass0 i thought the same and after using for a while can really appreciate all the design ideas that have been put into it. Thanks for watching.

"Professional grade bald head" 😆 I'm not letting it slide Glenn! 5:58 That actually looks great. I don't suppose I can pick one up for £20?

[@Astrobloke]

Brilliant, i knew someone would hear that 🤣 there was noway I was flying back to Greece to fix that slip up.

[@Astro_Shed]

Great video, and looks a great product..I need a new tripod…🤔👍

[@Astrobloke]

@@Astro_Shed its a really nice tripod Stuart, not cheap but then good quality carbon ones never are. I just love all the well thought out features it has

[@Starlightchaser100]

Great looking tripod Glenn. Similar to the Peak design one I’ve seen. Which do you think is better?

[@Astrobloke]

@@Starlightchaser100 its a good tripod and def my fav I use all the time now

[@markbayfield6381]

[@Astrobloke]

[@abellio8559]

Must say as tripods go that one looks very interesting indeed. Nice review

[@Astrobloke]

@@abellio8559 you are not wrong. Definitely worth a look. I love it

[@OrchardLife-c7j]

Cool bit of kit ❤

[@Astrobloke]

@@OrchardLife-c7j it really is

[@woody5109]

Unrelated question, where can I find those blocks you use at each end of your universal mounting plates. I’m looking for better mounting options for my accessories?

[@Astrobloke]

@@woody5109 www.altairastro.com/index.asp?function=search I think this is what you are referring to 🤞 Look up risers

Great review Glenn. That doesn't seem that high a price considering the load capacity and features, whoever designed that has obviously put a lot of thought into it. Tripods seem to be a bit overlooked as far as astrophotography reviews are concerned imo. I believe it is certainly worth paying a little bit more for a quality one. I take it that this tripod would take most star trackers such as a Star Adventurer or it's IOptron equivalent? Anyway, enjoy the rest of your holiday, clear skies.

[@Astrobloke]

Hi Kevin. I think this one in particular is very good for our hobby. The payload is pretty impressive and it will hold a star tracker easily. I know what you mean by the price, essential kit thats definitely needed for Astro work and compared to other carbon tripods not overpriced but comes with some great features. Thanks for watching, clear skies
