The tripod is well made and really light to carry around. It fits perfectly with the Star Adventurer and if placed correctly on solid ground, it will stay there during the night without any problems. Only thing I miss from this product is a soft case to make carrying it around easier. This last thing is the only reason I'm rating it 4/5.
This tripod is pretty good and is sturdy enough for the star adventurer. This isn't a high quality tripod but it does the job. This tripod should have come with a tripod carry case for easy transport and this is the reason why I give it 4 stars.
Light and good enough for a small maksutov or refractor but the tripod leg 'screws' easily get loose after some use. You can however tighten them so the tripod becomes much more stable again.
