The new metal tripods by Avalon Instruments have been designed to revolutionize the world of portable astronomy with both the style and function that Ava-lon Instruments is known for. Made entirely from ano-dized aluminum with stainless steel hardware, the low weight and high stability of these tripods make them the ideal companion for travelling observers and ast-rophotographers.

The tripods are available in two sizes that differ in size and loading capacity. The smaller T-90 has a maximum height of 35 inches (90 cm) while the bigger T-130 ext-ends to a maximum height of 51 inches (130cm). Both tripods are very lightweight and have small folded di-mensions for easy transport.

The built-in spreader system allows the tripod to be quickly and easily opened with no loose parts while the double leg locks and included bubble level make it easy to level the tripod and securely lock it in place. The base of the legs can be � tted with ground spikes for soft ground or rubber tips for hard surfaces. In additi-on, the tripods are equipped with a convenient handle for easy transport.

While conceived for the Avalon M-Uno, Linear and up-coming M-Zero mounts, the M-130 model is also com-patible with the mounts including the SkyWatcher/Ori-on EQ6/Atlas and AZEQ6/Atlas Pro AZEQ-G, Celestron CGEM, Losmandy G11, Takahashi EM200, Vixen SXV/SXD/SXP/SXD2 and other mounts while the M-90 will be compatible with mounts including the SkyWatcher/

Orion EQ-5/HEQ5/Sirius, Celestron CG-5/AVX, Takahashi EM10, Vixen GP/GPD2 and others.

Compatibility will be either native or through the use of an available adapter.

The T-90 and T-130 tripods continue Avalon’s tradition of cutting edge design and top quality performance in portable observing

and Astro-imaging systems.
