🔭 Celestron 93493 CPC 1100 Heavy Duty Tripod in Black/Silver Review

Great stand - important note the center pin was in the way of the underside of my old C8 and at first I thought this wasn't going to work. BUT you can lower the pen by unscrewing the center post holder. VERY stable stand - if a bit heavy.

This tripod is very durable and well made. It easily supports the Celestron Nexstar-11 telescope. I sold it to another person who was delighted with it and he was amazed that it can easily support his full weight. Would definitely buy again.

I needed a stronger tripod for astrophotography and this is the best tripod I could find for my NexStar 8SE perfect for this heavy duty CPC tripod. I would recommend this tripod to anyone who owns a NexStar series telescope.

This is a very heavy and solid tripod, supports all my gear with minimal vibration that I received with a standard tripod. The only gripe I have is that the center support shell doesn't have holes for 2" eyepieces, while the standard 8SE tripod does. Not a big problem, but annoying enough to deduct a star.

After purchasing an equatorial wedge for my nexstar 6se I decided I needed a tripod that could handle the extra weight and provide a stronger base for my scope and wedge. While the standard tripod only accommodated the scope in an Alt/Az configuration, I was skeptical that it would be able to support the added weight of the two pieces of gear and my camera. After finding this tripod I made some reservations as the reviews didn't say much about it and it's an expensive upgrade. I was concerned…

Reasons for 5 stars: + Extremely durable tripod + Nice accessory tray + Excellent quality + Folds up nicely - Heavy This is a great tripod. I use it on CPC 800 and it fits perfectly. I didn't receive my tripod when I ordered the telescope so I bought (refunded) this one instead and it's an amazing tripod. It's incredibly strong, it can easily take more than the CPC 800 and I'm sure it's even been redesigned for the CPC 1100. However, it weighs decently as it weighs over 30 pounds. I don't mind…

I needed a stronger tripod to support my Celestron Nexstar 8 SE and the new wedge I bought for it. The combined weight of all this and the StarSense Autoalign camera I have is too much for the OEM tripod that came with my 8SE. Well, meaty is what I have. It is extremely stable even when the legs are fully extended. Sure, you'll get a lot of jiggling when you bump your feet, but that's to be expected. But the shaking is not as strong as with my old tripod. Minimal or no leg extension gives you…
