iOptron Tri-pier 360A

I can tell the quality of this tripod is amazing, heavy and sturdy with quality aluminum, but make sure your mount is right for it because some mounts will be tricky, like AM5. I make it work for my AM5 with an adapter that I made. Another thing is the feet of this tripod need to be improved with some lock keys to avoid being loose and moving. I would recommend it.

Heavy-Duty Tri-Pier

This a a very solid and sturdy tri-pier. The CNC machined legs and spreader are nicely done with very good fit and finish. Like most reviewers of this pier, I find the swivel feet to be a bit annoying, but once things are set up it works very well. Having leveling ability is a big plus for alt-az mounts.
