Most spotting scopes come with a small tripod suitable for use on a shooting table at the range, but what do you do when you can’t take your shooting table with you? Serious hunters need a quality tripod when they are glassing game in the field.
Celestron has the answer with three high-quality tripods for use with spotting scopes or binoculars to watch distant game. These Celestron tripods also work great for cameras to take pictures or video of your hunt.
The top-of-line Regal Premium Tripod is a sturdy aluminum model that adjusts in height from just over 18 inches to nearly 69 inches. The Regal Premium includes a two-way fluid pan head with quick release plate that doubles as a balance rail. The four-section legs can be set to three different angles, and they feature quick and easy flip lever locks for length adjustment. The center column can be extended when additional height is needed. A retractable balance hook lets you add weight if extra stability is required. A tripod case and shoulder strap is included. Suggested retail price for the Celestron Regal Premium Tripod is $159.95.
