iOptron CEM70 tripod?
I just purchased a iOptron CEM70 yesterday and was wondering what kind of Tripod would work for under $300 in the US? A pier would be an overkill for me and expensive but looking for something that would be stable. Also would the 2" legs that I listed below be sturdier then the Literoc's 1.75"? I know it should be obvious since it is thicker unless the Literoc was built better?
I know that this would work but it seems hard to get and out of stock. https://www.highpointscientific.com/iop ... KAQAvD_BwE
Now I was searching and also found this https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/ ... csQAvD_BwE Would this work with the CEM70 as well with the 2" Legs?
Thanks all

Re: iOptron CEM70 tripod?
And my original plan as to mount up in stages so (It seemed like the perfect time when the Skywatcher failed and they offered to redo it, so it would be refurbished for sale) I think the iOptron will be my last upgrade for the mount.

Re: iOptron CEM70 tripod?
I wish I could swing one, if the Literoc is still hard to get I may just get a pier and just work on a way to make it more level since my viewing area in the backyard it is kind of a decent slope. When using a regular tripod I got to extend the lower leg on the bottomabout 3-4 inches to get it level.
But as of now I just found out that my order is on backorder for the mount. They said they had a few left when I got it. But ohwell. I guess now it is a race to see what mount I get back first. But now I do have that thought of the tri pier in my head which is dangerous lol I already sold a lot.
Now this what I am down to, using my All Sky Cam Box I made with a rasberry

Re: iOptron CEM70 tripod?
Nice I will check them out, also with the tri-pier can that be left outside with a cover on it and not have to worry about rain and such?

Re: iOptron CEM70 tripod?
So I called up today and ordered it (Backordered) but it is nowhere to be found anyway so just did it and checked on my status of the CEM70 and they said it was in, but just in the warehouse now and didn't get time to register in or something like that. So hopefully I will be up and running again within 2 weeks. That was the estimate for the Literoc to come in stock with the COVID.
Until then I'm just going to play around with my All sky cam. the only problem is that I don't know where to post the time lapse videos.
Thanks again for the help all

Video Astrnomy
"Discuss video astronomy / Electronically assisted imaging"
Or maybe add "Time Lapse video" Or (All Sky - Time Lapse)
So under Video Astronomy:
Video Astrnomy
"Discuss video astronomy / Electronically assisted imaging / All Sky / TIme Lapse Video"
or something like that
