I would like some additional info on how this tripod was used for a satellite dish. What adapter was used to transition to a 2 inch mast ?

First time doing this, so i hope this helps. My Dish network dish came with a mounting bracket to mount it to a roof or wall. I drilled a 3/4" hole through the middle of this mounting bracket, then used a 2" to 2.5" long SS Bolt with a wing nut and bolted it through the bracket used on the tripod to mount a transit or laser level. The slight offset in the dish mounting bracket worked great to keep the center of gravity over the center of the tripod. Hope this helps.

Here is the description from the Amazon site. Metal 1/4" to 3/8" Convert Screw Adapter for Tripod Monopod Ballhead.

Hi Amy. The tripod becomes pretty much useless without the connector, doesn't it? Just google "sunpac tripod parts" and you'll find several sources for parts. Good luck.

This adapter comes with a standard antenna mount. If the dish screws onto the antenna mounts of other adapters, it should fit this one without a problem.

Any standard tripod works with this. We've used a few different ones and they have all worked with no problems.

I mounted a bridge camera using the supplied 1/4" adapter. That worked fine. But as some of the other questions have alluded to, the tripod is a little bit shaky. It is very light weight.

I use a manfroto 501HD tripod but to be honest, it works best on 2 small light stands with threaded tops for stability.

The receiver has a 1/4-20 tripod mount, but the transmitter has a standard Nikon hot shoe mount. I mount a couple Strato on lighting stands with Nikon flashes when I shoot indoor sports with a low ceiling (such as a roller rink).

the mast is not adjustable but the mounting plate is. i suggest you look at the peerless tv stand that amazon has available fpz655 has a shorter mast.

This adapter works between my Canon 600D (Rebel EOS T3i) and my telescope's 2" focuser. It locks onto the camera and just sits in the telescope focuser. My telescope is a homemade reflector so gravity holds everything in place. Works great!

Charles, I am not sure about "standard" tripod. I did not get the tripod adapter with mine. It looks like the one you are looking at comes with an adapter that is custom designed for these Binoch's. I would investigate further. In addition, these are quite large binoch's so the adapter and tripod will have to accommodate the size and weight. Either way, this is surely a great price. I paid $150 just a few weeks ago. Good luck

My motor got burned when i tried using an ac/dc adapter, at the moment i can slew manually by hand if the target is the moon, if your targeting distant planets like jupiter or saturn, you can still see it but its gonna be very difficult keeping it on target if slewed manually by hand. The tripod is not that stable

The Celestron has the standard mounting hardware. So any tripod will do. Having said that the SkyMasters are heavy and do need a tripod with this in mine. I have mine on my camera tripod it works "ok" I want a much better tripod to be able to hold the SkyMasters in place with out drift. They the SkyMaster are just to heavy for the tripod I'm using now. Spend the money now you won't be sorry you did. Unable to pick a tripod now as i haven't found the one I like yet for the money.

I used an 1" diameter 6 feet long piece of mast pipe on a try pod on my roof, that use to be for a dish system. mine works great.

I could not find any. I ended up buying other adapters to keep all my tripods the same.But I liked this plate system better with the level.

I used duct tape wrapped around the pole to create a tight fit then drilled a hole through the tripod and pole and used a bolt washer and lock washer and nut and it made it very sturdy so it didn't move. Worked for me and was inexpensive.
