Meade Standard Field Tripod - 07020

The legs lock solidly, which is critical when I've got an eight-inch scope mounted. The head extends higher than my old tripod, making viewing more comfortable for my height.

Setup was way quicker than I expected, and the leg locks feel solid even on uneven ground. It holds my scope steady through a full night of viewing without any sag.

My old legs were wobbly enough that I kept checking my eyepiece alignment, but this tripod holds my 10-inch scope rock steady even in a light breeze. The locking levers on each leg are firm and reliable, and I like that it's designed to fit the LX90 and LX200 models I've owned for years.
