Celestron Trailseeker Overview

The TrailSeeker Tripod with Fluid Pan Head from Celestron is a 4-section aluminum tripod with a two-way fluid pan/tilt head. It extends from a minimum working height of 18.9" to a maximum of 70.5". Weighing 3.9 lb, the tripod can hold up to 9 lb, whether that be a spotting scope, binocular, camera, small telescope, or other equipment.

The legs can be independently set to three different angles for shooting on an uneven surface. Flip locks allow you to adjust the height of each leg, and a foam grip on two of the legs adds comfort when carrying the tripod, especially in extreme temperatures. The Center column has a ballast hook for adding a counterweight, which will lower the center of gravity, adding stability to the tripod.

The tripod features a 2-way pan/tilt fluid head with one large knob that both controls the tension and locks the head in place. A quick-release plate with a 1/4"-20 threaded stud makes attaching and detaching your equipment quick and easy. Bubble levels help ensure that your camera will be level to the horizon.

Included with the TrailSeeker is a case and shoulder strap to protect your tripod and make transport easier.

Celestron Trailseeker Reviews

Great Tripod

By James
Rated 5 out of 5

The tripod is a great piece of equipment that is well constructed. It is light in weight and supports my binoculars very well. I am satisfied with this tripod.

It works but the fluid head can’t hold a spotting scope or a camera from tilting down.

If you want to take a pic or video without having to hold it with your hands on the tripod it will not work if you want to take things that require some vertical alignment. Thus causing you to have to hold the pan and sending shaking.
