ZWO Tripod and Tripod Head for the SeeStar Smart Telescope
Power up your Seestar S30 experience with this kit from ZWO! Including both a high quality tripod head that unlocks the EQ mode imaging potential of your telescope and a sturdy yet still portable tripod to mount it on, the ZWO Tripod and Tripod Head for the SeeStar Smart Telescopes package gives you two powerful upgrades to your tiny yet mighty smart telescope.Unlock rotation-free imaging and enhance your S30 imaging experience!
Building upon ZWO's stellar Seestar S30's astrophotography capabilities out of the box, EQ mode allows your smart telescope to create images free from large crops or the "fan of cards" effect on the edges. With this upgrade kit from ZWO, you can unlock this powerful potential in you Seestar and enhance your imaging experience! Installing the TH10 tripod head upgrade on the included TC20 tripod gives you 180° of altitude and 360° of azimuth adjustment to allow you to polar align in latitudes above 15° and put your smart telescope in step with the rotation of the skies above for longer exposure times and consistent object framing. This astrophotography add-on features attention to detail in its construction; with CNC-machined aluminum for strength and a lightweight footprint, and hydraulic damping that gives you a smooth and precise adjustment experience. A quick-detach base makes setting up and breaking down your Seestar S30 effortless once the base has been installed—and with 1/4" thread and 3/8" adapter this base can also be attached to your DSLR, mirrorless camera, video camera, or other common photography gear, adding functionality to your tripod even when your astrophotography explorations are over! To ensure you have a steady base for all of this, the TC20 tripod has been included. This offers significant improvements to the stock tripod experience, with leveling capabilities and height adjustments to keep your S30 clear of the ground and steady it with an even footing!
An Astrophotography Upgrade for Your S30!
Set your Seestar up for stellar rotation-free images with a high quality and ultra portable tripod head and carbon fiber tripod combo!
Adjustable for EQ Imaging
In order to combat the
rotation of the Earth, extending your exposure time possibilities and freeze
your initial object framing, you'll need to align your Seestar's stock
Alt-Az movement with this spin. The TH10 included with the ZWO Tripod and
Tripod Head for the SeeStar Smart Telescope allows you to do this easily,
with a wide altitude range and full 360° azimuth adjustment! Simply
unlock the axis or axes you need to adjust, move your Seestar by hand or
with the detachable handle, and then tighten the adjustment knobs back down
once you've polar aligned your smart telescope.

The TH10 tripod head is a quality
addition to your Seestar setup, with a sturdy construction and intelligent
flourishes to enhance your experience! The head is constructed of

markings on both axes to help you keep track of your movements and precisely
dial in your polar alignment; with hydraulic damping added for smoother and
more methodical adjustments! Bubble levels have been added to the top and
side of the head to aid in leveling your Seestar station. Once leveled you
can install the smart telescope in a snap, thanks to the quick release base!

your Seestar! The quick detach plate features a 1/4" threaded stud that
