The Hummingbird tripod is an excellent choice for those seeking a lightweight yet stable platform for a spotting scope, binocular or camera. With four leg sections, three leg angles and an adjustable center column, the tripod can be set in multiple configurations to get the exact height or stance needed for your terrain and conditions. Use the panning handle and tension knob to scan across the horizon in smooth motions and follow your subject as it moves. The Hummingbird is the perfect tripod for any outdoor excursion from bird watching to stargazing and everything in between. Quick-Release Mounting Plate Attach a wide range of optical and photographic equipment to your Hummingbird tripod in seconds with the quick-release mounting plate. This broad, square platform with protective padding is ideal for attaching binocular adapters, spotting scope mounting feet, camera gear, and more. The mounting plate can adjust forward or backward depending on your preference and to find the perfect weight balance point. To up your viewing game, the platform also tilts up to 90 with a lock knob to secure it in place at any angle. For peace of mind, the quick-release plate has a safety mechanism that prevents it from sliding completely out of the pan head without pushing the release button. Telescoping Center Column The center column of the Hummingbird tripod can be extended to raise the tripod head when additional height is needed. To adjust the center column, twist the lock-knob and move the center column to the desired height. The maximum height when the tripod is fully extended is just under 69in. At the bottom of the center column, there is a – 20in mounting stud to attach a camera to achieve a unique angle when viewing or imaging. Adjustable Tripod Leg Angles Each leg of the Hummingbird tripod can be set at two different fixed angles as well as a fully extended position. Each leg has a leg angle adjustment latch, which is located at the top of the tripod leg, that allows you to lay the leg flat on a surface. There is a bubble leveler to ensure the tripod is level at any level and extension. Protective Carrying Case Take your tripod anywhere in its soft woven case with comfortable shoulder strap. When not in use, the case is the perfect place to store your tripod.

Having used other Tripods I got this one and it's easy to use. The quick Release Plate a little odd and small but in time I will learn how to attach the telescope with the Quick Release plate onto the Tripod. One thing I like about the Celestron Hummingbird Tripod is no hand crank. All I have to do is losen the Column Knob and when I get my disired height tighten the column Knob. when I attach my Telescope to the Celestron Hummingbird Tripod I always hear the click.All in all this is a great Tripod to use.

I like the Tripod lots. It was very easy to order and was delivered very fast and I thought the cost was well worth the product. I will do business with Optic Planet again in the future. I am using the Tripod to hold my Spotting Scope.

Having many Tripods I will use the Celestorn Hummingbird Fast Action Pan / Tilt Head Tripod with my Orion GoScope III Telescope. All I know is htat this particular Tripod since I got it from Celestorn as a replacement tripod works excellently. The one thing I like about the Tripod is if I have to raise it I twist the Central Column Control Knob and I raise it to my desired height. One thing I noticed is there is no hand crank to raise it or lower the Telescope. I am so glad I got an extra Quick Release Plate for this particular Tripod. One thing I do want to mention is that this Tripod is lighter to use and not too heavy. My other Tripod which is the Celestron AstroMaster is a little heavy. I also like the storage bag that came with the Tripod I cna store it in the carry bg if I want to which is optional, but I prefer leaving the legs extended and put it in my closet store the Telescope the Orion GoScope III Telescope in it's backpack and I am really happy I got the Extra Quick Release Plate from Celestron. I like this Tripod very much it's excellent.
