Pyser Tripods
|
The Pyser range of Tripods are light weight but rugged enough for even the largest Kowa or Opticron spotting scopes.
The Pyser 510 has a quick release mechanism allowing the steadied equipment to be quickly and easily removed from the tripod. Pyser tripods have lockable, braced 3-section aluminium closed channel legs with nonslip rubber feet. The Pyser 510 is idea for photographic use or for use with binoculars and spoting scopes..

des 20/08/2006 16:07:00 | wud this be ok for a kowa ts502 zoom? - thnx |
eebc - Chris 23/08/2006 13:27:47 | This tripod is fine for scopes upto about 80mm, it would offer a very good support for the Kowa TS500 series scopes. |
BobH 06/01/2007 23:15:36 | I have a Canon XM1 camcorder that weighs just under 3lb. Will the Pyser 510 fluid panhead support this camcorder and still allow a smooth panning action? |
Jack East 07/01/2007 20:23:56 | BobH,
On a recommendation (Google groups, video camera tripod search) I have just ordered one of these tripods for my Sony PD150, which I think is about the same size and weight as your Canon. Hopefully it should be with me fairly soon, I will post back here my opinions in a couple of days. Jack. |
eebc - Chris 08/01/2007 10:41:51 | Thank you for your enquiry.
The Pyser 510 tripod should be fine for your Canon camera, we actually sold one of our corporate customers several of the XM2 cameras with Pyser tripods. We regularly sell this tripod for use with binoculars and spotting scopes, which are around the same weight as your camera (and in many cases a bit heavier) and the combination works very well. |

I would think this tripod would be idea for your video camera. My only critism would be the head being made out of plastic, but these days they all seem to be made out of plastic, atleast it keeps the weight down which was why I bought this model. The head has a very smooth action, both left-right aswell as up-down. Although I have not used it yet, I have put the camera on top and had a good play around with it. I do not think there will be a noticable judder when starting to pan. Jack |
Chris 28/01/2007 18:28:15 | Hi, I ve just bought a Bauer Avian 80 (Australian), but need a tripod for static use, do you think the Pyser 510 is ok? This is my first scope, would it fit directly or would I need a bracket?

eebc - Chris 28/01/2007 18:45:47 | I could only find one website showing your scope, but it looks to be more-or-less the same size as most scopes tend to be (about 300mm long), I would guess the weight would be around the same as well (1000-1500g).
In which case, assuming there is a tripod thread on the bottom (there looked to be on the picture I saw), it should fit any tripod. The Pyser 510 would be ideal for a scope of that size and weight. |
Murph 30/12/2008 00:32:45 | Hi there, would this tripod be suitable for Astronomy use with Celestron Skymaster 15 x 70 binoculars? If not what should I be looking at. Many thanks. |
eebc - Jamie 30/12/2008 12:00:34 | I would think the Pyser tripod should be ok with your binoculars, we do not sell any Celestron products (or even know who make them) so we can not try the combination, but the tripod works well with the Visionary 20x80 which I would guess would be around the same weight. |
RICHARD 02/03/2010 13:58:09 | Got the tripod this morning. Just returned from some Peregrine watching and put it through it s paces. Excellent in every way. Light, solid, great value. Holds a Opticron 60 scope no problem. Great deal and as always fantastic service.Thank you. |
eebc - Chris. 02/03/2010 15:03:05 | Thank you for your comments.
The Pyser tripods are really nice tripods, stable and uncomplicated - just what a tripod should be. |
