Designed for Stability and Smooth Panning

The perfect tripod is very stable, strong enough to withstand some serious abuse, and yet moves with fluid smoothness. Orion's Paragon professional tripods fill the bill, providing heavy-duty support for giant binoculars, cameras, spotting scopes and small telescopes.
,br> The Paragon HD-F2 tripod and the heavier-duty Paragon-Plus XHD are constructed almost exclusively of aluminum, making them stronger at key stress points where other tripods fail. They feature large, adjustable aluminum-tube legs with ridged helical locks. The legs are tri-braced to the center elevator housing for extra stability.

Both tripods come with the same two-way fluid-type pan head. It features tension adjustment knobs on both axes and can be raised or lowered with a hinged hand crank. With quick-release 1/4"-20 dovetail shoe, convertible cushion/spike feet and built-in bubble level. One-year limited warranty.
