Diy Tripod Leg Spreader at Thelma Anna blog

Diy Tripod Leg Spreader. That will hopefully solve the shaky tripod leg problem for a lot of people. I cannot overstress the importance of getting a square cut here, as it. Well a tripod spreader is used to press up against tripod legs to lock the tripod legs in place and stabilize the tripod. I used plastic coated muiltstrand aircraft cable going from leg to leg following a direct path of the forces involved. Attach each leg, then turn the tripod over so it is upright, spreading the legs apart to their furthest reach. Stage 1 is to work out the legs and spreader for the nexstar and other scopes where the mount head is fine, only the legs need replacement. Mark each set of legs for hole placement, then drill pilot holes for each. There is a ring at the top of the tripod with stops to prevent movement of each leg inward. Now that we’ve chosen our tripod head and meticulously crafted it to hold our telescope, it’s time to marry the tripod legs to the head. The ioptron didn't even have a tripod spreader so very wobbly, made this using munsen pipe clips, not quick release but works ok. The cables are preloaded in tension to the top ring and take up any play in the pivots. All closed triangles with no open segments. Use a good quality saw or pipe cutter to cut the legs.
