iOptron Carbon Fiber Tripod 40mm Version

Model: 8061A
Authorized Distributor: Modern Telescopes – India’s Largest Telescope Store

The iOptron Carbon Fiber Tripod 40mm (8061A) is a premium lightweight yet extremely strong support solution designed for astronomers and astrophotographers who need maximum stability without the burden of heavy steel tripods.

Engineered from high-quality carbon fiber, this tripod delivers exceptional vibration damping, rigidity, and portability, making it ideal for portable imaging rigs, travelling astronomers, and field setups.

Lightweight Strength, Built for Precision

Despite weighing just 2.29 kg (5 lbs), the 8061A tripod supports an impressive maximum payload of 50 kg (110 lbs). Large 40mm upper carbon fiber legs ensure superior stiffness, while carbon fiber construction significantly reduces vibration compared to aluminum or steel tripods.

The adjustable working height from 535 mm to 935 mm allows flexible setup for both imaging and visual observation.
