Orion Paragon HD-F2 Tripod

The perfect tripod is very stable, strong enough to withstand some serious abuse, and yet moves with fluid smoothness. The Paragon professional tripods fill the bill, providing heavy-duty support for giant binoculars, cameras, spotting scopes and small telescopes. The Paragon HD-F2 tripod is constructed almost exclusively of aluminum, making it stronger at key stress points where other tripods fail. It features large, adjustable aluminum-tube legs with ridged helical locks. The legs are tri-braced to the center elevator housing for extra stability. The tripod comes with the two-way fluid-type pan head. It features tension adjustment knobs on both axes and can be raised or lowered with a hinged hand crank. With quick-release 1/4"-20 dovetail shoe, convertible cushion/spike feet and built-in bubble level.

OSN OS-250 Compact Tripod

The OS-250 compact tripod is both lightweight and well-designed for use with film, digital, and video cameras. Features include a three way panhead, enabeling the user to shoot both horizontal and vertical pictures, and a quick-release camera mounting platform that attaches to the base of your camera. This allows the user to quickly and easily mount and remove the camera from the tripod. (A quick tip from the professionals: when using both a digital and video camera, have a quick release mounting platform for each camera you own. When using a tripod, it is then simple to switch cameras without having to detach and reattach the mounting plate to your other camera.) The OS-250 also features three section aluminum legs with quick lever leg locks for quick and easy leg positioning. Simply unlock the leg lever, extend the leg to the desired position, re-lock the leg lever, and begin taking pictures. Also, each leg has independent, three position leg angles, which include standard, semi low and low angle positions. This feature will allow for more flexibility and stability when using the tripod on various and uneven terrains. The manual lift center column makes those final tripod height adjustments smooth and easy. Simply unlock the center column lock knob and lift the center column to the desired height. When traveling, no need to leave the OS 250 at home. Its compact size allows the tripod to fit into most suitcases and backpacks.

Orion Large Tritech Tripod

Not all tripods are created equal. Some can be bulky and heavy, others spindly and unstable. Tritech tripods are neither- they're just right. They fill the need for portability without sacrificing strength.From their aluminum, closed-channel legs to their two-way fluid pan head, Tritech tripods are well-suited for almost any viewing or photographic situation. Mount your field glasses, spotting scope, or camera on the quick-release shoe; it locks in tight, with no "play." The elevator crank adjusts the head up or down 12" to the desired height.The tripods' three-section channel legs have an anodized pewter-tone finish and are center-braced to enhance stability. Clamp-style leg locks open and close in a snap (literally). A great value!
