ZWO Tripod Head for SeeStar Smart Telescope
ZWO Tripod Head for SeeStar Smart Telescope
The TH10 ZWO Tripod Head for SeeStar Smart Telescopes is designed to set your smart telescope up for stellar EQ mode astrophotography! With 180° of tilt and 360° of panning range this tripod head gives you the tools you need to dial in long exposures with your ZWO smart telescope, with hydraulic damping to make smooth adjustments a breeze. Unlock rotation-free imaging and enhance your Seestar imaging experience!
Building upon ZWO's stellar Seestar 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 tripod upgrade from ZWO, you can unlock this powerful potential in you Seestar and enhance your imaging experience! Installing this upgrade on your non-adjustable 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 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!
An Astrophotography Upgrade for Your Seestar!
Set your Seestar up for stellar rotation-free images with this high quality and versatile tripod upgrade from ZWO!
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 ZWO Tripod Head for 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.
High Quality Build
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
CNC-machined aluminum for a robust platform capable of shouldering 11 lb. of
gear while only weighing in at 0.91 lb. It features adjustment scale
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!
Versatile
This handy addition is for more than just
your Seestar! The quick detach plate features a 1/4" threaded stud that
is compatible with a wide variety of photography and video equipment on the
market today, with a 3/8" adapter included in the box for Seestar and
even more equipment coverage. Combined with the 3/8" mount point on the
bottom of the head which is compatible with a large number of photography
tripods, the TH10 ZWO Tripod Head for Seestar Smart Telescope can expand
your tripod's capabilities into the day and further round out your
photography toolkit!
