It offers adjustable height from 18.9 to 70.5 inches, supports up to 8.8 pounds, and features four-section legs with three angle settings for versatile terrain adaptability. Equipped with a two-way fluid pan head, quick-release plate, and a retractable hook for added stability, it comes with a carrying case and shoulder strap. Trusted by professionals and backed by a 2-year US warranty, it’s the perfect blend of portability, precision, and durability. ## Description The perfect tripod should be stable yet lightweight and easy to operate, requiring minimal knob twisting and lever flipping. The Celestron TrailSeeker was designed to be your perfect tripod. It is lightweight (3.94 lb.) and compact, yet it can hold up to almost 9 pounds of equipment. The aluminum legs of the TrailSeeker Tripod are fully adjustable, not just in length, but in their angle as well. With the center column fully extended, the maximum height achieved is 70.5 inches (58 inches with the column down). Each leg is made up of four sections that can be shortened or lengthened with the flip of a simple lever lock. This makes it easy to make the tripod a little taller or a little shorter as your terrain or needs change. Each leg can also be set to three different angles. If the place you need to set up your tripod is not perfectly flat, the ability to adjust the angle of one or more legs makes all the difference. The center column of the TrailSeeker tripod does more than just go up and down. The bottom end of the column holds a retractable balance hook. This simple device can make all the difference in the stability of your tripod, especially on windy days. Just hang something heavy from the hook like a backpack and you'll be amazed at the difference. When the hook is not needed, it retracts up into the center column to stay neatly out of the way. Review: Celestron TrailSeeker Triopd: A fine mount for grab-n-go astronomy or camera mount, solid. - A perfect mount for my Celestron C90 Mak-Cass. A solid foundation as a grab-and-go astronomy scope mount, albeit without slow-motion hand adjustments. But for quick lunar and planetary spotting this is a winner. Pros: Convenient carry case, provides inside pocket for whatever, zippered full-length and easy open padded compartment for tripod. Provides leveling bubble Provides a small compass for basic polar alignment if needed. Single knob provides lock-down of both elevation and circular movement. Very sturdy legs! 3-section; center post also extends vertically if you need additional height. I like that I can set the mount level low and sit comfortably in a lawn chair for my observing sessions. Bonus: not advertised, my tripod arrived with a very nice Celestron metal (ie, non-flexible/moveable) binocular/camera mounting adapter; also a smaller plastic adapter but no manufacturing info. Cons: none found. Nyah: nice add-on features might be azimuth and latitude rings, but this was not advertised as an astronomy mount, though it can serve that function. Review: Nice and stable - I ordered this to use with our Celestron scope, it’s nice and stable, lots of height adjustments and easy to set up. Came with a nice carrying case. I had been using a cheap camera tripod which couldn't handle the weight of the scope. I’m very happy with this tripod . ## Features - Perfect support for a spotting scope, binoculars, camera, or small telescope - Sturdy aluminum tripod adjusts in height from 18.9 inches to 70.5 inches and includes a two-way fluid pan head with quick release plate - The four-section legs can be set to 3 different angles and use quick and easy flip lever locks for length adjustment. The area covered by the tripod when all three legs are at full extension ~877 sq in position at the default standing angle - The center column can be extended when additional height is needed. A retractable hook lets you add weight if extra stability is required - Comes with a tripod case and shoulder strap - UNBEATABLE WARRANTY & SUPPORT: Buy with confidence from Celestron, a leading telescope brand in California since 1960. Your purchase includes a 2-Year US Warranty and unlimited support from our team of US-based experts. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00K8U2EBK | | Best Sellers Rank | #122 in Complete Tripod Units | | Brand | Celestron | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Camera | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 526 Reviews | | Folded Size | 24 inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00050234820509 | | Head Type | Pan Heads | | Included Components | 4005710 | | Item Length | 70.5 inches | | Item Weight | 4 pounds | | Leg Diameter | 3.5 inches | | Manufacturer | Celestron | | Manufacturer Part Number | 82050-CGL | | Material | Aluminum | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Maximum Height | 70.5 inches | | Media Type | ProductImage | | Minimum Height | 48 centimeters | | Model Name | 82050 | | Model Number | 82050-CGL | | Model Series | TrailSeeker | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of leg sections | 4 | | Screen Size | 70.5 inches | | Special Feature | Lightweight, Compact, Portable | | Special Features | Lightweight, Compact, Portable | | UPC | 050234820509 | | Video Capture Format | MP4, AVI, MOV | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Weight Limit | 8.8 pounds | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Celestron - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Camera - **Item Weight:** 4 Pounds - **Material:** Aluminum - **Maximum Height:** 70.5 Inches - **Model Name:** 82050 - **Special Feature:** Lightweight, Compact, Portable - **Tripod Head Type:** Pan Heads - **Weight Limit:** 8.8 Pounds ## Images ![TrailSeeker Tripod for Spotting Scopes, Binoculars & Cameras | Quick-Release Plate, Smooth Pan & Tilt Movements, Adjusts to Your Terrain, Fast Setup, Perfect for Wildlife Viewing or Travel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71r3ToP1vJL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I brought this great tripod. i'm looking for a extra release plate. got no part number. can anyone help ? thank you** A: Yes, you can purchase the replacement quick release plate here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08PHK2F4K **Q: Has anyone found a source for quick release plates for this tripod?** A: Yes, you can purchase the replacement quick release plate here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08PHK2F4K **Q: Where can I find a second quick release plate for this tripod so I can switch between binoculars and spotting scope?** A: Celestron does not have the quick release plate available for sale.

Came with a nice carrying case. I had been using a cheap camera tripod which couldn't handle the weight of the scope. I’m very happy with this tripod . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ You need this if you want to enjoy Celestron Binoculars! *by K***X on October 21, 2015* Works well with Celestron 15x70 binoculars & Barska tripod adapter ( also available on Amazon - I read that the original plastic that comes with the binoculars are flimsy so I bought a metal one to eliminate variables that cause shakiness). I tried to get by with a camcorder tripod but there was too much shakiness going on so I bought this one...HUGE difference. This cost more than the binoculars but without it it's damn near impossible to hold them steady. This tripod feels very sturdy and robust. The 3 tripod joints feel, look, and act smooth and strong. One very bad flaw of this tripod is the handle. It's very poorly placed and almost feels like it's jamming you in the throat...BUT I found a fix for myself, just turn the top piece around. I guess another idea would be too bend it with a pipe bender if possible. ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron 82050 TrailSeeker Tripod (Black) - Celestron – SkyMaster Pro 20x80 Binocular – Outdoor and Astronomy Binocular – Large Aperture for Long Distance Viewing – Fully Multi-Coated XLT Coating – Tripod Adapter and Carrying Case Included - Celestron – NexYZ – 3–Axis Universal Smartphone Adapter for Telescope – Digiscoping Smartphone Adapter – Capture Images and Video Through Your Telescope or Spotting Scope --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/6994648-trailseeker-tripod-for-spotting-scopes-binoculars-and-cameras-quick-release](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/6994648-trailseeker-tripod-for-spotting-scopes-binoculars-and-cameras-quick-release) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-13*
