Hi,
Today I got my custom made short tripod legs from my friend who’s building and designing it. My purpose to have this kind of short tripod leg is because of portable.
How portable is it? Please look at the photos for the truth.
The tripod legs are so well built and lightweight. All made in aluminum and stainless steel. It is so stable. According to my friend, it can hold the weight up to around 50kg for my application. The main attractive point of this tripod is the “Level Adjustment Knob”. It is now easy for me to do leveling adjustment without lifting up the tripod. :-D
How about the cost of this tripod? I got no worry about this issue. It is so affordable and fair in price.
For those who are thinking to have a custom made tripod, I can recommend it to you. He can even design a full pier version of mounting. Tell him what is in your mind, he will try his best to made one for you. For more information, you can directly contact him. He is quite a nice guy though. :-D
Details of contact:

Tommy

Hi,
Nice... like the Vixen AL90. But not so convenience for SCT or refractor when aiming at high angle, but very good for newtonian. Also, remember to bring along the vibration suppression pads when use in the field.
Have a nice day.

Hi,
Have a nice day.
The vibration suppression pads is not to suppress the vibration if your tripod is stable, but to prevent the tip of your tripod leg sinking in the field. If this happen, you won't be able to level your tripod.This tripod is very stable until the vibration is getting lesser. So, vibration suppression pads is not that important to me.
Have a nice day.
